Mini Review Akiba's Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed (PS4) - Remastered JRPG Is Fun But Flawed
Strip Tease
How time flies! The Akiba’s Trip series has been going for 10 years and to celebrate Acquire has remastered the first game in the series, which was previously only released on PSP in Japan.

Review No Heroes Allowed! VR (PS4)
Not bad, man
No Heroes Allowed! is one of those strange, first-party PlayStation properties that keeps getting new entries without anyone really batting an eyelid. Having started life on the PlayStation Portable, the irreverent What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord? series has spawned all sorts of silly spin-offs – including a surprisingly...
Just beat it

Review Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed (PlayStation Vita)
Undressed to kill
To describe Akiba’s Trip: Undead & Undressed as a simple action role-playing game would do it a disservice – a bit like describing a vampire as a mere blood gulper. The aforementioned nocturnal beast has gone through several iterations over the years, ranging from fear inducing monsters through to promiscuous teenagers –...
Review Mind Zero (PlayStation Vita)
Never mind this one
Without a doubt, Mind Zero appears to be a genuinely high quality JRPG.

But as we delved a little...

News Rob from the Rich and Give to the Poor in Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief, Coming to PS4 in October
Serious Tenchu vibes.
Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief is a stealth action game coming to PS4 on 11 October in North America, and Europe on 14 October. It gives us some serious Tenchu nostalgia, perhaps partly because Kamiwaza is a remaster of a 2006 PS1 game that is only now making its way to the West.

The nonlinear levels allowed for the freedom to infiltrate the villages by...
