REVIEW – RIOT AKKT “SUN COMING UP”

Summer time is, typically, a time for parties, getting together with friends, getting away, and in the case of Irish folk, getting plenty of exercise running away from the roving rainclouds that seem to follow us everywhere like that crow from the Looney Tunes. It’s also a time for the kind of floor-filling dance numbers […]

Kyoto Animation are frequently blamed – or credited, depending on who you ask – for launching the moé trend in contemporary anime, or at the very least perpetuating it to a greater extent than most others. It’s hard to argue against that point, even as a massive fan of K-On! and Nichijou I have to […]

High Score: Pandora’s Tower

JRPG’s tend to be a little on the dramatic side. It’s part of their charm, but it’s also a factor in how niche they have become. Final Fantasy used to be a much bigger deal than it is now and each new iteration was an event that few gamers failed to celebrate. These days Final […]
