As long as gaming has existed, there has been cheating. In some cases, such as Grand Theft Auto, they add a dash of fun to experience you already beat or simply would like to be less challenging. In the case of multiplayer titles, such as Call of Duty, they can ruin the entire experience by allowing a player far beyond the means of the game. One such device that has become popular for consoles in recent years is the Cronus Zen. In a recent update on the PlayStation 5, the use of the “controller emulator” Cronus Zen has been blocked…

It is always a nerve-wracking experience to review a game you can sink hundreds of hours into. When you get a review code, you barely have enough time to play the experience, and you need to measure what components out of hundreds will matter. Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the epitome of that experience. In over 100 hours, I have beat up crooks, helped revive a resort, been a stunt actor, made plenty of friends, chased a mystery, been a delivery driver, become a human traf– I mean Sujimon trainer, and that isn’t even scratching the surface. Even now…

Another Code, or Trace Memory as it was known in the West, was a game I sadly missed when it was first released for the DS. It’s a bummer looking back at it since the title shares many elements with my favorite DS title 999: 9 Persons, 9 Hours, 9 Doors. That being said, even at a glance the room escape aspects never reach that height. But if one was inclined to look back at the two titles on DS and Wii you will find that this is a pretty loving recreation of a more obscure puzzle-solving game and even…
