Kingdom: New Lands

My addiction to Kingdom New Lands is all Candice’s fault. After watching her and Klaus stream the original Kingdom game (now Kingdom Classic) on our Loot Crate stream one afternoon, I immediately jumped onto Steam to pick it up. And for a month I ignored everything else in my backlog until I “beat” the game. *Warning: This …

LEGO Dimensions Wave 1 Level Packs

My favourite family-centric video game series, LEGO titles never seem to disappoint us. We’re two grown adults with no kids who looks forward to sitting down to some couch co-op when new titles launch. We also love to build LEGO. No joke. The LEGO Store is a dangerous and wonderful place, especially those 3-pack build your own LEGO people …

Tearaway Unfolded

After hours spent with atoi exploring every nook and cranny of Valleyfold and Sogport, I decided to do it all again. The Playstation 4 version wouldn’t be exactly the same as the original Vita game, so I was looking forward to surprises and new papercraft patterns to work with in the Crafted Edition. With scraps flooding the …

Fallout Shelter

Mobile games aren’t really my jam. The most played app on my phone is a free version of solitaire. I’ve also got Tumblecaps Retro, a game made by a developer friend of mine that I play from time to time, and Game Dev Story, which I haven’t touched in forever. I refuse to download Plants …

Persona Q

I took far too long to finish Persona Q. Not because I didn’t enjoy the P3/P4 crossover game, because I really did, even when I was stuck on a dungeon floor for three days figuring out the FOE pattern. There’s just something about Persona and JRPG games that makes me want to sink a ridiculous …

Destiny: Alpha vs Beta

After being lucky enough to enjoy both the Alpha and Beta releases of Destiny (thank you, Bungie!!), I thought I would just share a few thoughts about both experiences. I’m not the most hardcore shooter fan, I stopped caring about Halo after the original trilogy game and I’m not into Call of Duty. When I …

Tearaway

Status: Finished with Atoi, 96% of bonus items found Playtime: About 19 hours or so Trophies: 24 of 31 Papercraft Collection: tearaway.me/u/Yuki-Hime Tearaway was a major PS Vita selling point for me, second only to Persona 4 Golden because I have a wonderfully horrid addiction to the Persona franchise. With its visually appealing papercraft world I knew there was …

Sweet Fuse

Playtime: 21 hours and counting Men Romanced: Urabe Otome games get the short end of the stick. It’s a format under-appreciated by the majority of gamers outside of Japan because they are more of an interactive choose your own adventure than a game in the traditional sense. But I like weird and non-traditional games so Sweet Fuse: …
