Review Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars (PlayStation Vita)
Born to try
Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars is one of the strangest games that you’ll ever play. Its premise – which, in essence, revolves around mating – provides an odd starting point, but get past this and you’ll find a surprisingly enjoyable excursion that’s only really let down by repetition and some unnecessarily sexual...

News Atlus Dismantles Hopes of Demon's Souls 2 on PS4
Don't rule it out just yet, though

News PS Vita RPG Conception II Is Expected to Deliver in the EU
No retail in sight
Known for its European delays due to a lack of regional headquarters, it seems that Atlus is attempting to shrug off this niggling reputation with the announcement that Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars will be made available on European PlayStation Vitas in the second quarter of 2014. Don't expect to be picki
News This PS Vita RPG May Look Harmless, But It's for Mature Players Only
Well, sort of
It’s not often that a Japanese role-playing game obtains a ‘Mature’ rating from the ESRB, but that’s exactly what the North American classifications board has awarded PlayStation Vita dungeon crawler Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars. While the Nintendo 3DS iteration is the only version to be examined thus far, it...

Shooting stars

Review Dragon's Crown (PlayStation 3)
Picture perfect

Review Persona 4 Arena (PlayStation 3)
Velvet boom
Atlus has had to bear the brunt of much criticism from gamers due to its decision to region lock Persona 4 Arena, giving eager European fans no option but to wait a frankly preposterous length of time for the game to release.

Body slam
If you felt that the previous Dragon’s Crown trailer showed a little too much skin, then you’ll probably be equally displeased with this brand new footage focusing on the Dwarf.
