LEVEL-5 is up to something. The independent Japanese game studio behind gems such as Dragon Quest VIII and Rogue Galaxy have posted a new website page with nothing but a spinning black box. Simply dubbed “LEVEL-5 Blackbox”, the black box or, cube if you will, just keeps spinning. It’s not in perpetual motion, however, as [...]

While the gaming world has collectively been warm to the Need for Speed franchise under Criterion’s guidance, there’s also been a recent sense of malaise that it could dominate the studios time to the point they don’t have time to produce titles in their other franchises.

The Guild001 collection in Japan was split up into three separate releases over the past six months on the 3DS’s eShop, with Liberation Maiden providing one of the best-looking games on the system, and delivering an excellent shooting experience.

Although I’m not entirely sure how it works, who [...]

Surprise! Who would have thought that another NHL game would come out this year from the fine folks at EA Canada? They did such a great job the last few years in recreating an authentic hockey experience, but they’re not stopping there. The team is continuing to build upon their physics and momentum ideas by [...]

Llamasoft has been toiling away in the strange and difficult land of iOS for the last couple of years,  pumping out one game after another at a delightfully quick pace.  The “race to the bottom” pricing structure isn’t anybody’s friend, though, so apparently it’s now time to think bigger again.  “Bigger” as in “sequel to [...]

There are games where the idea of them you carry in your head is richer and deeper than the thing that’s actually released.  Take Bookworm Adventures, which was certainly fun but not, by any stretch of the imagination, the adventure/RPG word game it was described as.  Spellirium is based on the idea of what Bookworm [...]
