    Poor management seems to be the most cited reason for the numerous delays and insane crunch periods. I feel sorry for all those devs who've been laid off without severance pay.

    This is my current playlist.

    • Dir En Grey - And Zero : a really cool instrumental that sounds very soothing

    • Njandukalude Naattil Oridavela - Enthaavo : A feel-good-song from a Malayalam movie.

    • Bring Me The Horizon - MANTRA : Really dig this song about mind-control/cult mentality. The use of Siri to say the word 'Mantra' is perfect and captures the robotic aspect of brainwashed cult members. Dat scream @1:31 gets special mention.

    • Hiroyuki Sawano - scaPEGoat feat. Yosh : Sawano-san reminds me of a heavier version of the legendary Yasunori Mitsuda. The song is sung both in Japanese and English, has some really crunchy guitar riffs and a dope chorus.

    • Zedd & Elley Duhé - Happy Now : The song's description says it best - Lyrically, it’s a song that is both happy and sad at the same time, while musically, it’s a song that rather leans towards a happier, sunnier side.

    I'm super hyped for Spiderman. Insomniac is a fantastic developer so I think the Spidey license is in good hands. Tomorrow is when the review embargo breaks ^__^

    Okami : The game looks like a canvas came to life. Add some beautiful music, humour, and a heart-tugging story, you'll have a blast as you paint life back into the world. Okami is available on multiple systems.

    Attack of the Friday Monsters! A Tokyo Tale : This is a short (2-4 hours) game on the 3DS life-simulation game where you collect cards and card battle friends, explore the town, see Kaiju fights. It's a nostalgic trip to the joys of childhood and the game has a sweet story that may leave you scratching your head wondering whether there really are Kaiju.

    Klonoa : Door to Phantomile : A short, fun, platformer game on the original PlayStation with a catchy soundtrack, cute visuals and a surprisingly emotional story.

    Shenmue 1 and 2 : The legendary games on the Dreamcast are now available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4. The games are like a slice of life from Japan, and Hong Kong. The attention to detail is insane, the combat system plays more like a fighting game than a traditional action-adventure, gorgeous visuals (for the time but damn, do they still look good) and excellent music. The games might be slow paced for some, and sure, some of the gameplay mechanics are dated, but don't let that stop you from playing Yu Suzuki's masterpiece.

    Costume Quest 1 and 2 : Short, funny turn-based RPGs about kids who fight monsters on Halloween. The games are perfect for all ages (heck, some of the jokes will shock you) and are worth spending time on.
