What with all this buzz and hype surrounding the new Gears and Walking Dead games coming out, you might have missed the news circulating about Persona 4 Arena finally getting a maybe solid release date in Europe. So as long as that presum...

According to Siliconera, not only has Square Enix announced a sequel to Cavia's Drakengard series in the latest Famitsu, but Square has also announced that they will be bringing back certain key Drakengard team members from Cavia, which w...

If there's one thing I love, it's the Persona series. But if there's another thing I love, it's the rest of the Megami Tensei series. Granted, my experience with the series is a pretty big blank between SMTII and III, and that's a whole l...

So I've made it something of a pet project to write about lesser known or somewhat obscure games that are fun enough to be worth tracking down. And in my near constant search for good older and obscure games, I've certainly found some gam...

Welcome to part three of this epic trilogy. Last time we looked at a bunch of Atlus games and I talked probably for too long about Sengoku Basara. It was bunches of fun. Anyway, let's get right back into it. Shall we? Fallout New Vegas - 2...

Welcome to part two, the dark middle chapter of this exciting list of vaguely related video games. Last time I said nice things about two separate Konami games and even a David Cage game, so this truly is a brave new world. Let's jump back ...

I've been wanting to write something about video game voice actors for a little while now. It seems like interest in who the talents behind our favorite characters are has steadily risen over the past few years, and within my circle of fr...

So I've been playing Persona 4 Golden, and I just recently put Naoto in my active party. Now, I'm not sure if it's the added resolution and whatever, but I don't really remember her twirling that pistol of hers so much, like, she's doing it...

I don't think there's another game in recent memory that disappointed me as much as Dark Souls. I guess there was Catherine, and that was probably worse, but other than that, Dark Souls has to be one of the most disappointing games I've p...

Welcome back to the final installment in my criminally over-long look at Final Fantasy XIII. This part is going to be all about nice and good things. It's hopefully going to be a very fun and chill experience, to balance out all that vitrio...

Welcome back. In part 1, which you can read here if you haven't already, I covered the game's long and problematic development, which will hopefully offer some insight into this installments' topic. The Bad: Gameplay First of all, the c...

Final Fantasy XIII is a game very dear to my heart. I'm not entirely sure why that is, mind you. I guess we all develop an affinity for things that help distract us from some of the rougher patches in life. And Final Fantasy XIII was defi...

Today's game is brought to us by the fine people at Arika, the minds behind such fine games as Technic Beat, Everblue and the Street Fighter EX series. Endless Ocean 2 is the 2010 followup to 2008's Endless Ocean. The sequel expands the o...

Hey guys. I've been working on some shirt designs for the dtoid store, and I thought I'd share what I've got and see if you guys are at all interested in any of my designs. First off, there's this neon design on either a black or dark grey...

10. All the new movement abilities are goofy as hell. Somewhere around RE4, the series went from being goofy ostensibly by accident to being goofy on purpose. I mean, it's one thing to have a poorly translated English script. It's another t...

It's weird the kind of impact Nintendo Power going under had. I don't remember it prompting nearly as much wistful reflection and nostalgia when EGM got shut down in 2008. It certainly wasn't from a lack of readership. But something about N...

After reading through those free PC game lists Phil was posting up here a few weeks back, I was inspired to compile a list of my own, so I did. But whereas his list was about good games to have fun times with, I've decided to put together a...

I had been meaning to play this game for a while now, ever since I heard Nagoshi was working as the producer on the project. The idea of a Japanese, Gears of War style game with the Yakuza series' lineage behind it was awfully steep to deli...

The problem with names is that, if they have any amount of history attached to them, they carry so much baggage along with them. A game's name carries so many expectations along with it. Even a title you've never heard of implicitly either ...

Cryostasis isn't exactly the best game I've ever played. It is; however, an intensely original game that's definitely worth playing, by a developer you've probably never heard of. The game was developed by Action Forms Ltd. for PC and rel...

There are a lot of games that take place in space, but there aren't many that let you play with the weightlessness of being an astronaut out on a space walk. Shattered Horizon is one of those few games that does. Released in 2009 for the ...

Also known as Kagero II in Japan, Trapt is the fourth and latest game in Tecmo's Deception series. The great thing about the Deception series is that there's really nothing else like it. To describe the game for anyone who hasn't played i...

What goes on in a game�s development is beyond me. If development is as complicated as they say when making excuses for day one and on-disc DLC, then that may be true. But publishers need to recognize the position those practices put us a...

Andriasang released a summary of Konami's 2012 numbers and they aren't exactly what I was expecting. From the way Konami's U.S. branch has been operating the past year, you could be forgiven for believing that the company might be in extr...

Let�s talk about Nightshade for the PS2. Known as Kunoichi in Japan, this puzzlingly titled sequel to the 2002 Shinobi reboot went the way of SHOGO when the much more well known Ninja Gaiden reboot came out and immediately stole its thunder...
