Our second spooky review for Halloween.

First of two spooky game reviews for Halloween.

That's Yoru no Nai Kuni to you, peasant.

The Tales train shows no signs of slowing down.

This stuff deserves its own artbook.

Exploring ALFheim Online with a friend.

Seriously.

The Retro Crew asks, "What is a man?"

Plan your escape next year!

Kawaii'ng me softly with these pics and vids.

No, it's not one of the Silent Library games.

Be jealous of Japan and watch 40 minutes of gameplay.

And what's this about future streaming as well?

Action-packed gameplay courtesy of Platinum Games.

A post-apocalyptic review in time for Halloween!

We finally made it!

Remember the Dreamcast? I do!

I think Adam Jensen 3 or 4.0 would be more accurate.

Why go into the wilderness when you can simulate it in a video game?

A Rogue-like perfectly suited for the Wii U.

It's Myst in virtual reality.

The arcade experience is looking good.

Also, a bunch of retailer exclusive bonuses.

Quick, explain a complex part of Japanese culture in 30 seconds!

US dates are hopefully inbound. Also, Atelier Sophie gets a special guest!

Will the next Pikachu be a ghost?

A tale of machines and a devastated Earth.

Another classic adventure game coming to PS4 and PC.

It's a paranormal Monkey Island with the dialogue tree from a Telltale game grafted on top.

Do you like games that make you think?

Is excitement a material? Because this game is building my hype.

As goes patch 3.1, so goes Scott!

The bosses look amazing.

The Vocaloid looks right at home on the Midnight Stage.

Nostalgia sells!

Has there ever been a more stylish military?

Learn what to expect in your upcoming trip to Yharnam.

Save your gald!

Two new Digimon and a new character reveal!

They've been on a roll recently.

I can't remember the last time I played a video game as a piece of literature.

Quintet's SNES swan song.

Get ready to learn the names of another 200+ monsters.

And they say lightning can't strike twice...or six times.

Trust me, this is big in Japan.

Boys just want to have fun.

Uh, it's soon. VERY soon. Next week.

Finding balance between the IPs of old and new.

Looks pretty deadly to me.

Looks like they have every JRPG archetype needed.

What to expect from the next game in the tough-as-nails franchise.

We don't even have the first game yet!

Woohoo! Another Final Fantasy RPG for mobile in Japan only!

Tis the season to be oppressively dark and ruthless.

If you're going to game center...

Introducing the princess and the shadow knight.

Now, just imagine that number if it came out West.

Don't drag that dragoon on my lawn!

Get your speculating hats on.

Being the savior of the world is a pretty important job.

Along with some snazzy in-game preorder bonuses.

We check out the season finale to see if things are wrapped up in a nice little package, or...

Jeepers, creepers - where'd you get those blocks?

Kiria and Eleonora take center stage.

One of these things is not like the other.

Love can truly be a magical thing...

Featuring a rock song by Nobuo Uematsu!

The complete edition of this Victorian hit should feel right at home.

Geralt's adventures continue!

In which we fight to make the world a more musical place.

I hope you put some points in dexterity.

First look at the creature collector from LEVEL-5 and Nintendo.

There's now a sixth class, fittingly titled... Class Seven? Must be an Erebonian thing.

It takes a lot of people to make those open-world games.
