Giant enemy crabs

North American gamers need no longer be jealous of Way of the Samurai 4’s confirmation for Europe, because XSEED has just announced that the PS3 exclusive is headed to USA too. There’s still no date or price attached to the sandbox samurai period drama, but the confirmation alone should be enough to get you to dust off your...

Corpse Party is a game ab0ut a haunted elementary school filled with dead children

Sounds depressing, huh? The premise is already well established, but what of the game itself?

He added that..

Half-Minute Hero is brilliant

The most off-putting thing about any RPG is the blank canvas at the start. A mountain of literature and 50 hours of your life lay in front of you, and you ask yourself "Is this going to be worth it?" Half-Minute Hero does away with the doubt, condensing each "universe" into 30-seconds. A cross between an early Final Fantasy and WarioWare,..
