Relationships are something emotional, powerful and unseen in many modern games. Atlus tackled some of these questions in Persona 4, a game with some shockingly well developed characters and their struggle to develop themselves, with themes of sexuality being tackled with a level of maturity we don’t often see in games. Catherine is the latest game from that team and it seems their set to once again tackle the industry head on with this title, focusing almost entirely on a complicated story of relationships and drama, with our protagonist Vincent and his relationships with his girlfriend Katherine and a younger, more mischevious lady named Catherine. — More after the break!

Bastion's Launch Trailer is Looking Very Lovely

Bastion's Launch Trailer is Looking Very Lovely

Perhaps the most interesting looking Summer of Arcade release, Bastion is looking like an exciting mix of combat and area traversal complimented by a fantastic art style and a “dynamic” narrator. Some very interesting concepts and their launch trailer has all but sold me on the title!

PC - Puzzle Agent 2 Review

Puzzles, puzzles, puzzles! The second installment in one of their newest series, Puzzle Agent 2 is a very similar to something you’d find in a Professor Layton title but with quite a few more problems. A mix of point and click and puzzle solving, the game succeeds at being a somewhat enjoyable experience solely on the basis of it being an interesting and well told story along with some creative visuals. However, many of the puzzles feel underexplained and the lack of a more effective hint system make for more han a few annoyances in this otherwise enjoyable experience. — Our review after the break!

Xbox 360 - Alice: Madness Returns review

Alice: Madness Returns is the sequel to the eleven year old game by American McGee and his company Spicy Horse. With its darker take on Lewis Caroll’s famous book, we’re finally seeing a sequel to game that stuck out in gamer’s minds for its wonderfully fantastical and bleak outlook on a fractured Wonderland. Madness Returns takes the visuals up a notch, while providing an entertaining, if repetitive combat system and a story that never quite reaches its potential. — Our full review after the break!

Quick Thoughts on Proun

This week, I’ve found something special for a nice gaming experience. Let’s talk Proun, an indie game from the awesomely named Joost Van Dongen, who developed it in his spare time over the course of six years. It’s a stylistic, abstract 3D racer that features a fantastic artistic style and great music.

Saints Row 3 gameplay looks completely insane and hilarious - Video

Saints Row 3 gameplay looks completely insane and hilarious - Video

It’s hard to explain just how crazy THQ and Volition have gone but it seems that Saints Row 3 will feature all the open world hilarity you tend to expect from the series. Fans of doing extremely stupid things in GTA or Just Cause 2 will feel right at home here and it seems like they’re really embracing the crazyness factor for fans of sanbox games.
