The blockade at Tokyo Game Show 2018

People wrapped around small-ish booths in snaking…
If the two companies that come to mind when you think of mobile games for iOS and Android are Ketchapp and Voodoo, you’ll probably fail in Japan… We already knew that the mobile industry in Japan was different from the rest of the world, but we didn’t realize just how drastically different they really were.

Sorry, we missed PAX AUS 2018!!! 😱😱😱
If you follow our Twitter you may have noticed we were invited to PAX Australia 2018… Thanks to the super generous team behind the PAX events, we were invited to cover PAX Australia 2018 – similar to how we covered Tokyo Game Show and Bit Summit earlier this year! 😆 And so naturally, we were flooded…

If you were expecting fancy articles published live from the grounds of Tokyo Game Show 2018 we have probably already failed to deliver what you were expecting… But after being pushed around by literally half a million attendants, way too many developers, and a countless number of cosplayers, for a total of 4 days, there are…

You would be hard pressed to find a gamer who hasn’t at least heard of Twitch in 2018. Live streaming seems to be the hottest form of media at the moment and everyone wants to be a part of it, everyone including a company you’ve likely never heard of named CyberAgent. For those of you…

Ramen + HP Omen – It’s a Pun Ok…
Having free food handed out to you by HP Omen at a game show is one of the least expected and most exciting experiences we (and many others) had at Tokyo Game Show! Obviously, this kind act of generosity toward hungry gameshow attendees was not taken lightly, and before long HP O-men was Trending on…
If you’ve ever visited a world-class game show (such as Tokyo Game Show), you are probably already well aware that corporations centered around gaming like to go BIG! …and when we say BIG, we mean really BIG…!

If you read our article: (“Game Reviewers” In Japan Are Well… Different…) You should already realize just how many media-related people were at Tokyo Game Show 2018. In case you weren’t aware, 90% the people visible in that picture are media-related personnel (waiting in front of the media entrance), meaning the show was in no…
Are you a fan of Splatoon – the ultra-popular paint blasting game for Nintendo Switch and Wii U? Because today we’ve got a game you will probably either consider a disgrace… or perhaps the best game of 2018! 😆 It’s your call, and this is our review. Be sure to let us know what you think…
