News PS Vita Dungeon Crawler Demon Gaze's Release Just Misses Easter
What's with that eye?
It's never good to wake up in the morning and not be able to remember the night before – or anything for that matter. This is the disturbing reality facing Oz, the hero of upcoming PlayStation Vita dungeon crawler Demon Gaze. Finding himself in the land of Misrid with new strange powers, he sets off on a voyage searching for...

News Demon Gaze Casts a Monstrous Eye Upon European PS Vitas
It's rude to stare
As part of a flurry of announcements earlier today, niche publisher NIS America has confirmed that European gamers will be able to point their pernicious peepers at Demon Gaze in early 2014.

Review Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness (PlayStation 3)
Explosive penguins, dood!
Strategy RPGs aren't usually known for their humour. Sure, Fire Emblem: Awakening inspired the odd chuckle, but for the most part, devising grid-based battlefield attacks is serious business. Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness on the other hand is chaotic, nonsensical, and absolutely mad – and we mean that in the most...
Review The Guided Fate Paradox (PlayStation 3)
Fate fighter
The Guided Fate Paradox starts incredibly slowly. Tutorials hold your hand for the first hour, with only a mere sliver of actual gameplay putting in an appearance. Even when it's over, there's still more to learn, although these intricacies are thankfully taught through a staggered approach over time. This initial phase is also thick...
Review Time and Eternity (PlayStation 3)
Love will tear us apart
Naughty bubble-baths and tongue-in-cheek dirty jokes are often commonplace in the JRPG genre, but they don't typically accompany an array of mature issues, such as the death of a loved one and secrecy. This is because contrasting potty humour with a deep storyline rarely works, as it’s difficult to empathise with any...

Review Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory (PlayStation 3)
"Is that your 'please punish me' face?"
Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory is a hard-sell. It’s what reviewers like to call ‘a niche title’, meaning a game that the majority of PlayStation 3 owners will pick up and then swiftly put back down. Set in a land governed by gaming tech, it's the third instalment in the Neptunia JRPG series, a franchise...

News Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory Travels Through Time
Acceptable in the 80s
The third entry in NIS America’s incredibly niche Hyperdimension Neptunia series will get a North American release on 12th March.

News Check It Out, Disgaea 4 Is Coming To PlayStation 3 In September
NIS America's slapped a September release date on PS3 title Disgaea 4
The hardcore turn-based RPG released in Japan earlier in the year. A European release is confirmed, but it's still shrouded in the vagueness of a "fall" window. As you may have guessed, we have nothing to add to this article. FACTS ARE FUN THOUGH, RIGHT?</em>
News Hyperdimension Neptunia Nets Stacked "Premium Edition" In North America
You'll have to bear with us while we read up on Hyperdimension Neptunia as we're not overly familiar with NIS America's PS3-exclusive strategy RPG
From what we understand, the game's main cast of characters are based on video game consoles. Let us just check. Five minutes... Ok. This is nuts. Hyperdimension Neptunia (and we quote) is a "take on...

Holy Invasion Of Privacy, Badman
What Did I Do To Deserve This?</a> is probably one of the best titles for a video game that has ever been. It also looks immensely fun.
