"What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord" doesn't seem to be getting much attention in the West and I doubt its name change after finding it clashed with an old Batman TV show helps at all. In any case, Japan gets their third title in the series otherwise known as Those Cheeky Heroes 3D (Yuusha no Kuse ni Konamaiki da 3D). A message arrives on...

Amongst the bigger paid MMORPG titles such as Blizzard's World of Warcraft and Square Enix's Final Fantasy XI, there's plenty of free titles out there. One of them is Perfect World (完美世界) from Chinese developers originally released back in 2005 in China before it hit the Western world in 2008. I thought I'd give it a try since it looked...

In the FPS/RPG hybrid Borderlands, you're on Planet Pandora where there is rumoured to be a "Vault" that holds all kinds of treasures and you just happen to be one of the hunters after it. Right after you arrive, it just so happens the mysterious "Guardian Angel" suddenly contacts and starts giving you instructions to follow to find the...
First thing's first. People seem to have confused Ys The Oath in Felghana being Ys7 so I'd just like to make it clear Felghana was really more of a side story like Ys Origin. I guess that's why Falcom decided to write the English word "Seven" instead of using the Roman numeral. So the Ys ARPG series has reached its seventh title, "Ys Seven...
Quite a few next-gen console ports to the PC lately and since none of the currently released PC titles appeal to me, I thought I'd try out another console port Batman: Arkham Asylum to give my underused graphics card a workout. The story begins with Joker being taken to the asylum but it turns out to be one of his clever plans in yet another...
