Tales of Graces started as a Japan exclusive on the Nintendo Wii back in late 2009, then made its international debut on the PlayStation 3 a few years later. Now, just over 15 years after the original release, new and old fans alike can experience it on modern platforms. Tose and Bandai Namco have released […]
Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream is the latest entry in the Sword Art Online game series. After last year’s Sword Art Online: Last Recollection delivered a disappointing end to the Gameverse canon, I wasn’t particularly interested in trying out another SAO game anytime soon. Fractured Daydream has a unique advantage though. It was developed by […]

It has become increasingly difficult to talk about FromSoftware without mentioning the Souls franchise and its cousins (Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring); Such is the impact these games have had, whether you love or loathe them. But it goes without saying that the success of these titles pulled focus away from one of FromSoft’s other treasured franchises: […]
When not releasing bi-monthly Dragon Ball games, Bandai Namco also handles other Manga/Anime-related titles such as the fantastic JoJo’s All-Star Battle and Digimon Survive. Another one of these is based on this little-known anime called One Piece. Joking aside, One Piece is back with One Piece Odyssey. This time around, the Straw Hat Pirates are […]
