Life In Japan: Eat Cheap!

Andy Kavanagh 0

Japan is not, contrary to what you may have heard, a particularly expensive country. Sure, it’s got its high-end areas and an obsession with brand names that both rivals and completely outdoes anything America’s most self-absorbed millennials could offer, but generally speaking, the cost of living in Japan, even in places like Tokyo, is pretty […]

Tokyo Game Show 2015: Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition

The original Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax was released, literally, less than a year ago here (coming October 6th in America in Europe), so imagine my disbelief when I saw Sega were demo-ing its sequel Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition at this year’s TGS. The first game, released for the 20th anniversary of Dengeki Bunko, one […]

Tokyo Game Show 2015: Playstation VR

One of the most sought after showcases at this years TGS was always going to be Sony’s VR headset, previously known as Project Morpheus and unveiled at TGS 2015 as Playstation VR. Unsurprisingly, getting time on it was difficult, even on the press days with comparatively low attendance (a meager 29,000 people each day) but […]

Tokyo Game Show 2015: Gravity Daze (PS4)

It seems a lifetime ago now that I reviewed the original Gravity Rush (called Gravity Daze in Japan) for this very website. It was, at the time, one of very few PS Vita titles that really stood out in its initial line-up. Partly because it was a new ip unlike anything we’d ever seen before, […]

Now, I should point out some things about myself before I begin this preview. Firstly, I have a soft-spot for JRPGs with cute characters, even the rubbish ones. Secondly, I’m a slave to my baser male instincts and if your characters could feature in my haziest harem fantasies, you had me at hello. Finally, I’ve […]

Don’t get me wrong, Tokyo Game Show is great and I’m well-aware of how lucky I am to be here, but the news that Final Fantasy XV was not going to be here really stung. I don’t think it was too much to ask either. Every Japanese person with a PS4 and a copy of […]

I’m ushered, ticket in hand, by a Sony staffer past the seemingly endless lines for Gravity Daze and Dark Souls III, around the monolithic black walls of Sony’s booth. They’re the type of walls that are so unremarkable you just know it’s inversely proportionate to what’s inside, and oh boy is that the case. Being inside […]

Life In Japan: Shrine On, You Crazy Diamond

It’s easy to think about Japan and imagine the bold and brash imagery that comes packaged with its pop culture. It’s true, Japan has a pop-culture-pulse like nowhere else on Earth, and it’s easy to get completely swept up and lost in the endless energy of Harajuku, Akihabara and Shibuya without ever looking back. To […]

Forgotten Childhood: Bucky O’Hare

I’m almost willing to bet a substantial amount of money on the possibility that I’m the only one on this entire staff, let alone the readership that remembers this show. Even as a child, self-absorbed to the point of self-rectal-disappearance, I was painfully aware of how unpopular it was. I mean, sure it was popular […]

Music Monday: Japanese Idols

Seeing as Japan is kind of my thing here now, it seems only right to focus this week’s Music Monday on something uniquely Japanese; Idols! Summer may be over, but chances are Japan’s biggest idol summer smashes never made it across the Atlantic, so get ready, it’s about to get high-pitched up in here. AKB48 […]
