Dresden story. Season 5 beginning

Posted: 28 Apr 2014 09:44 PM PDT

Hello dear readers, Dresden story continues, and this is blog post no.798 at all. Glad you joined me this time! After vast transfer campaign described in the previous article, I felt Dresden squad strength is now enough to compete for Top-4 in the national league and certain success in Europa League. What I mean under "certain success" is reaching semi finals and may be even winning the

The Last Tinker: City of Colors (Preview)

Posted: 18 Apr 2014 09:48 AM PDT

I've been following Mimimi Production's new puzzle platformer, The Last Tinker, since originally stumbling across a video for what was then called "Tink" on YouTube. Its bold visuals and quirky character design were a real eye-catcher, plus I've always been a sucker for a 3D platformer. It was a real treat then, when I was given the opportunity to play a preview build of the game this week.

Skies of Arcadia: Retrospective

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 02:27 AM PDT

Not many people were lucky enough to have experienced the Dreamcast during its heyday. Certainly not enough to stop SEGA's final machine kicking the proverbial bucket well before its time. Those that did though, were treated to an amazing crescendo of classic games as SEGA bowed out of the hardware market for good. One of those games was Skies of Arcadia and I'd like to share with you why it's not only one of the greatest games of the Dreamcast's stellar goodbye line-up, but arguably the finest JRPG to have ever been made.
