Check Out ‘If My Heart Had Wings’ Release Trailer
Dating Sims are a genre that is too few and far between, at least that’s what I’ve thought over these years. In general, they take romantic storylines and put you in control of their outcome. Usually with a lot of drama along the way. MoeNovel has released If My Heart Had Wings in English and […]
Cursed Loot Is A Treasure To Pick Up!
I’m always poking away at Xbox Lives indie section for treasures like Cursed Loot, and this is a fun title especially for such cost as a dollar (well 80msp).

The Guided Fate Paradox Begins This Fall
NIS titles are no stranger to heaven and hell inspired themes in their games with Disgaea and several others in their library.

13 Minutes of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Gameplay
If you’re like myself and absolutely loved the naval combat in AC3, you’ll be pleased to know that it seems like huge sailing ships are virtually AC4’s open world game cars in the sense of ease it takes to transition from land to sea adventure! Literally you just free run up onto your ship, take […]
