Breaking Up is Hard to Do
*Our scene opens with the writer, a tall bearded 20-something with glasses, sitting in a booth at a local diner. He appears nervous, checking his watch, obviously waiting for someone. A copy of the handheld hit Bravely Default walks through the door and takes a seat across from the writer.* Hey BD, thanks for meeting me…
The Silent Console
Lurking on the bedside table in my apartment, a devious piece of technology lies in wait. At first glance, it seems like nothing more than a simple tablet; something to provide convenient internet cruising from any location. But don’t let its harmless exterior fool you.

Anchoring the Vita
Earlier last year, one of my co-workers was part-timing at Best Buy as a gaming ambassador. He had the opportunity to borrow a display unit of the PS Vita and show it off to his friends and family. I guess the hope was to encourage consumers to pick one up on launch day, or just…
Honor to the Classics
It was rather early in 2008 when Square-Enix announced their plans to re-release Chrono Trigger for the Nintendo DS. After playing through the fully upgraded visuals and new 3D perspective of Final Fantasy III, I was eager to see what sort of treatment Chrono Trigger would receive.
