Great Moment: Climbing Final Fantasy IV's Mt. Ordeals
This is a column by Kat Bailey dedicated to the analysis of the once beloved Japanese RPG sub-genre.

Kickstart Steam/XBLA/PSN shmup Redux to get a Dreamcast version

Formerly "Haunted Temple Studios," the developer behind stylized strategy-fest Skulls of the Shogun has officially changed its name to "17-BIT." The old-school alteration is meant to reflect the ...
'Indie-core' collective funding retro action-RPG on Kickstarter
Legend of the Time Star has all the potential to be a brand new nostalgia bomb whose inherent paradox rips a hole in the thinly woven fabric of space and time itself, but only if we allow it to. We think that sounds like a pretty cool thing we'd like to witness, but in the end it's up to the larger ...
PSN Tuesday: Awesomenauts, Mortal Kombat
Nothing can prepare you for this week's nostalgic update on the PlayStation Store ... save for a succinct summary such as this one.
