• Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness Review

  28-06-2016 22:57
  
  The key moment of Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness happens about an hour in, when a hulking spaceship roars out of the skies and crashes near a spot where the world's fantasy-themed locals are hacking at each other with slabs of steel. It's a powerful, Columbus-style moment; a clash of technology and world views.

  28-06-2016 22:14
  
  Two weeks after its splashy debut at Sony’s E3 press conference, Capcom’s Resident Evil 7: The Beginning Hour still has secrets.
  The Beginning Hour exists somewhere between the franchise’s adventure game-style puzzle solving and the claustrophobic first-person horror of Konami’s P.T., a demo for the now-cancelled Silent Hills. Like P.T., The Beginning Hour is meant as a tonal representation of the game it’s teasing rather than a mirror of what the finished product w
