News Persona 3 Reload Dev Says P3P's Female Protagonist 'Likely Never Going to Happen'
Mass Destruction
It was always a slim hope; even then, it would have come with a premium price tag. Still, our dreams of Persona 3 Portable's female protagonist coming to remake Persona 3 Reload have been dashed against cruel, hard reality, seemingly for good. Producer Kazuhisa Wada let us down gently but firmly: "It is likely never going to...

White lies
In White Day 2: The Flower That Tells Lies, you step into the shoes of Korean high-schoolers as they investigate the cause of a fire. The puzzles are challenging and the web of mystery surrounding everything is intriguing, but a lack of direction and several technical issues make the game more frustrating than scary. There are three...

Random Divisive Dark Souls 2 Is Seeing a Resurgence and Some Revisionist History
Actually, we always thought it was good
Dark Souls II is something of an odd duck.

News Borderlands Movie Appears to Have Caused a Spike in Player Population, Which Is Something
Every cloud has a silver lining
With the Borderlands film roundly deemed a commercial and critical failure, we can't help but feel comforted by this nostalgic return to bad video game adaptations.
