Taking on a sombre tone in regards to humanity, and the potentially destructive capabilities of AI NISA's latest JRPG attempts to bring to life the light of hope amid a dismal, and bleak situation brought on by an extinction level event.

Waifu Uncovered (REVIEW)

Nintendo does what Playstation don't. That is what comes to mind when I think about my playthrough of "Waifu Uncovered". This perverted shmup that is a mixture of those naughty Japanese picture clearing games, and Sexy Parodius (though top down) comes sailing balls to the wall with it's titillating infusion of memes, and anime waifu culture. Taking place in a world where alien clothing is turning girls ugly Master K. Vaio must fly his phallic shaped ship to victory as he destroys the clothing of waifus across the globe. Ridding them of an alien infestation of the adult kind.

The Eternal Castle Remastered (REVIEW)

I've played some unique games in my time. Some really interesting games that do something truly out of the ordinary. Never have I seen a developer take black, magenta, and teal though to create a visual masterpiece that is done in the lowest pixel count you can create a game with. With "The Eternal Castle Remastered" you not only get a visually impressive game the likes of which I'd compare to Frank Miller's 'Sin City', and the video game 'Another World', but something that makes you think. Something that makes you really think. This game about extraterrestrials, and AI plays on doomsday scenarios that are brewing in the current real world political, and global realms. It takes the player to a future where Earth is a devastated version of it's former self. With extreme weather conditions caused by pollution, biological threats by man, and the lingering remnants of civilization left wrought by war. It's part biological horror, part sci-fi, and part apocalypse in one lump sum.

CrossCode (REVIEW)

Centered around the MMO genre and including a diverse cast of characters, "CrossCode" slowly lifts the curtain of the story being told as chapters unfold, and characters involved interact. Heavy on the dialogue, and somewhat lighter on the action this oldschool looking isometric RPG introduces mechanics, and story elements not all that unique. Within the game we find an MMO world known as CrossWorld in which plugged in players from a real world can manifest as avatars, and take on quests. As with JRPGs which take on a similar theme this particular story takes that premise, doubles down on character amnesia, and has you fighting a threat from outside that is a threat to CrossWorld as well as to who you were before you lost your memory. Parading around as rookie player known as Lea you must find out who you are, why you lost your memory, and what your ties are to the enigmatic avatars that showed up on the scene with a mission of their own.
