Back when I was a wide-eyed gamer just delving into the crazy world of JRPGs, I discovered Disgaea. Here was a strategy game with a difference; wacky characters, hilarious dialogue, challenging puzzles and satisfying, turn-based combat. All rolled into an insanely-detailed and beautiful package, with a real, meaningful story. Fifteen years later the original Disgaea […]

The holiday season is a perfect time for gaming enthusiasts to try some new titles and see if they are good enough to make it into their regular roster of games.

A little while back a meme went around Facebook in the form of a self-referential teasing passage of text, claiming that Rick and Morty fans were superior to everyone else just on the basis that they watched the show. It read: “To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick […]
