Deadass I might have to check out Planet Robobot after Air Riders. This game is winning me over big time

After playing the online demo I still couldn't tell if I liked it or not, but if any director deserves a blind purchase it's Sakurai

I can't believe I'm seeing a positive news story from the UK

After this year The Game Awards needs to cut out the fighting game category and just include them in action games. It's dire

Every single year The Game Awards drops the ball on best score and music. You'd have to be deaf to dispute Mario Kart World's placement on the shortlist

Metroid Prime 4 can still be amazing. What if Sylux kills off Miles early on and it's just a misguided opening section? What if the rest of the federation characters are actually alright and barely interact with Samus outside of cutscenes? What if the big desert is actually somehow interesting?

Pros of Lumines Arise: It's Tetris Effect but Lumines
Cons of Lumines Arise: Lumines isn't as good as Tetris

The way this game implements new game plus and chapter select is genius. Certified banger
The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy- is absolutely nuts. I think I really like it

Square Enix has been talking about this for a while now. If it were a Western studio you'd be seeing calls for mass boycotting

Hearing Ganondorf isn't playable in the new Hyrule Warriors game. What's the point?
