More than Europe or Japan!
Until recently, Dragon’s Dogma had only been a blip on my gaming radar. I’ve seen a screenshot here, a mention there, but it seemed to me like just another generic, medieval-type game; a ‘Skyrim Wannabe,‘ even. In fact, I considered it to be another one of those ‘Japanese developers trying to be American again’ kind […]
I don’t know what it is about the Strategy genre. Something about grids and weapon triangles and controlling anything from a small squad to an entire army just…gets to me. The various staples of the genre have varying degrees of quality in my opinion, so I can’t exactly call it my preferred genre… but games […]

Cheer, up, Ace Attorney fans. We may be getting Ace Attorney Investigations 2 after all. It just won’t be on a cartridge on the DS. This is not unusual. Ace Attorney (known then as Gyakuten Saiban) was originally published on the Game Boy Advance. However, extraordinarily high import rates led Nintendo and Capcom to localize […]
Here are 25 Tips I learned while playing the game.
One of the most critical parts of bringing a game over is localization. Translation is the act of rendering one language into another. Localization is making sure the new words actually make sense in the new culture and it fits the physical constraints of the game.. Let’s start off at the basics. When a game […]

A game that’s probably one of the more obscure titles in the Shin Megami Tensei library. Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is the second game of the spin off series: Devil Summoner. Originally released on the Sega Saturn in 1997, with a updated re-release on the Playstation 1 in 1999. Both versions were never localized unfortunately. In fact […]

Surprising news last Thursday, Atlus has acquired the publishing & localization rights from […]

Mountain of screenshots, and a couple of character reveals such as: Frank West (Dead Rising), Lei Lei (Darkstalkers), Zephyr and Leanne (End of Eternity) and Soma and Alisa (God Eater). A nice surprise that they’re not just giving the spotlight to just the brand characters we […]
