‘Persona 3 Reload’ Steam Deck Review – Perfect for Deck?
When there was a rumor about Persona 3 being remade, I had so many thoughts about how it could go. In my head, a perfect Persona 3 remake would feature the quality of life and gameplay improvements from Persona 3 Portable, the production of Persona 3 FES, and have cut-scenes like the Persona 3 movies…

‘Metal Slug X ACA NEOGEO’ Review – A Redo of a Redo, But Still a Great Time
Alright, let’s do this one more time. Not the last time, mind you. We still have Garou left. But the age of my comparison reviews between ACA NEOGEO re-releases and the pre-existing (and still available) Dotemu-developed versions is just about at its end.

What would an ideal esports tier list look like?
Just like sports fans arguing if Rugby or American football is tougher, everybody in esports has a different opinion on which title is the best. This has led to fans making their own tier lists where they rank major esports — however one thing these usually have in common is bias. Whether subconscious or not,…
