The Centennial Case A Shijima Story Interview Devs Discuss Their Japanese Live Action Mystery Game

Square Enix just released The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story, a live-action mystery-adventure game that is rather unusual for the publisher given the genre doesn’t fall in line with its current porfolio. Yet, it certainly succeeded in delivering a great detective story deeply rooted in Japanese culture. To know more about the game, Twinfinite interviewed producer Junichi Ehara (co-producer of NieR Automata), director Koichiro Ito (known for his work on Metal Gear Solid V), and cinematographer Yasuhito Tachibana (who worked as a producer on Netflix’s The Naked Director)....

The Flash Season 6 Episode 14 Review Death Of The Speed Force

This The Flash review contains spoilers. The Flash Season 6 Episode 14 I’ll confess, The Flash was starting to worry me just a little bit in the days since Crisis on Infinite Earths wrapped up. I still maintain that The Flash season 6 is well on its way to being perhaps the best season of the show yet. I know we all love season one (and I have the somewhat controversial opinion that season three might be my favorite overall), but under new showrunner Eric Wallace has taken some real chances this year, whether it was by breaking the season up into two mini-seasons, the choice of villains, or expanding the supporting cast (and giving them more to do while we’re at it), we can’t say that they’ve fallen back too hard on formula this time around....

The Most Powerful Pok Mon In The History Of The Series

The world of Pokémon is a dangerous, dangerous place. Not only are ten-year-olds thrown out of their homes and sent on adventures with bizarre, super-violent animals, but what pets these are. Social services really do need to step in here and tell these Poké-parents what’s up. The Pokédex, famously, gives us hilariously impossible and utterly impractical details about these creatures. There are Pokémon whose bodies are as hot as the surface of the sun, Pokémon who can punch one thousand times in two seconds and flatten mountains with one hand, all manner of exaggerated brilliance....
