That frame-pacing! 😭 I can see why they snuck this out without circulating review copies first.

Iwakakeru is an interesting pick. I quite liked that show (review here). It's nice to see a release date for Project A-ko. I've already bought that movie three times though, and the booklet probably isn't enough of a unique selling point to make me want to replace my Discotek copy. It really...

Early impressions on Reddit are pointing towards the PS5 version having a lot of stutter in outdoor areas on performance mode vs lag in quality mode. I suspect this is why they shadow-dropped such a major title.

I'd been hearing that the underlying game logic is still running on the original engine, while the graphics are using UE5. I can't remember if that was from an official source and don't know enough about game engines to know if that's even possible.

The Oblivion remaster is real... and it's out now! It looks impressive, but it's Bethesda, so I'm going to wait for a Digital Foundry assessment on whether it's a broken mess or not.

The wait for affordable Macross Plus continues. Next stop December, I guess.

Tetris The Grand Master Unavailable in the west for decades, the first entry in Arika's (in)famous arcade series finally hit modern consoles a couple of years ago. My Tetris time has mostly been spent in the far more recent Tetris Effect and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 over the last several years, so...

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. A long time.

You might want to check whether that's the first pressing, as that had some video errors. They're only momentary, but best to know what you've got. https://animeuknews.net/2021/08/video-frame-flickering-issues-discovered-on-k-on-uk-blu-ray-release/

If you went into Dark City already knowing roughly what it was about, then I could see why you might be disappointed. It came out at a time when the twist was still fresh. I still think it's one of the best examples of it. I love the oppressive atmosphere of it. There's a lived-in, Heavy...

The TV edit of Robocop is comedy gold. "Once we even called him... airhead."

There's no slipcase on mine.

Interesting documentary that focuses on the marketing intent and context behind the creation of ROB as much as the product itself.

Dead Space (remake) This sticks pretty close to the original, just remixing a few elements. It takes the zero-g controls from Dead Space 2, which works better than I expected due to those sections being redesigned to account for the greater degree of control. There are some places where you...

More a teaser than a trailer. I'm wary that this is supposedly going to be mostly set in the real world, since one of the best things about Tron was always the world-building and sense of place, but the new movie at least looks stylish. It's good to see that it will be getting a cinema release...

I did not see this coming! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-04-02/netflix-to-stream-new-the-rose-of-versailles-anime-film-on-april-30/.223155

Nothing knocked my socks off here. I'm not a fan of most first-party Nintendo franchises though, so your mileage will probably vary. The new Mario Kart being open world is a surprise, but I find open world racing games rather slow and bloated experiences. The only thing that got me excited was...

AL releases have had quality control issues for a while, but this time the show is the quality control issue. Stranger things have happened. Discotek released Chargeman Ken. Criterion released Salo. There's a market for morbid curiosity about utter ****, I guess. But, assuming this is real, AL...
