Your gaming home away from home!
Hello and happy Easter everybody! It’s been awhile, but I’m finally back and ready to bring some fresh new content! It’s been a crazy month for me to be honest. I changed jobs, moved to basically the other side of the world and have been spending time getting established and set up in a completely…

It seems the rumors that Square-Enix had big plans in store for NieR’s 10th anniversary were right on the money. Earlier this week, the publisher announced two new games for the series: NieR Reincarnation (a seemingly-new title for mobile devices) and NeiR Replicant, a remaster of the PS3 version of the game released in Europe…
