From strange and surprisingly creative gems like Lust from Beyond to innovative games like the upcoming War Hospital, Movie Games isn’t afraid to take their chances. I found them very vivid, excitingly explaining to discovering new game ideas. In fact, this reminds me of the first PlayStation days, when unique but still commercial ideas were on the table. In some ways, I feel like I’m home. It’s a weird home version of everyone but me with accents that sound like the villains in the Bond movie. But I’m still home! And I love it!”
