Very big. In fact, these guys can give Square Enix and Microsoft a run for their money. I manage to squeeze in a bit of playtime with the new Professor Layton game, only I did not understand a word of it and gave up halfway. Apparently, Professor Layton and Luke head to the future thanks [...]

Knowing Capcom, they’re dead set on coming up with another iteration of the Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney) series. Only in this case, the upcoming court case game now stars Phoenix Wright’s very own nemesis, Miles Edgeworth. Dubbed Gyakuten Kenji (since Mitsurugi Kenji is his real name), fans now get to see what it’s like at [...]

Remember that old Magic The Gathering game called Battlegrounds from Acclaim? Yeah, me neither, because that game was a flat-out example of how NOT to cross-breed a trading card game with an RTS mechanic.
