It’s been years since I played Resident Evil in my sister’s apartment. Now I don’t quite remember which Resident Evil it was, it was such a long time ago, but I remember how much of a rush it was to play it. I tend to stress out over survival horror games like these but I still enjoy them. Resident Evil Revelations was published by Capcom and developed by Capcom and Tose. The ga...[Read More]
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a difficult game to talk about, not because of its fascinating take on RPG battle systems or the mechanical parts that make up the gameplay, although those parts are amazing, but because it is a difficult game to play emotionally. I have referred to it as “brutal” many times while talking to others about it. After many false starts and trying to write about ...[Read More]
We’ve known about if for a while now, due to various slips of the tongue, but last week, Square Enix came out and officially announced that Final Fantasy X would be getting a remastered HD edition for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita systems. On top of that, however, we found out that Final Fantasy X-2 (otherwise known as Final Fantasy Dress-Up Adventure) would be included in the r...[Read More]
Years ago, I reviewed the original Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage. I enjoyed it, despite its faults, because it was the best game based on one of my favorite anime. Does the Koei sequel improve upon the original, or fall flat?
Nintendo had been making an incredibly strong, and frustrating, case for me to purchase a Wii U. Rayman Origins was one of the best platformers of the entire console generation, so Ubisoft’s announcement of Rayman Legends as exclusive to the Wii U was all but the nail in my coffin. The nail in my coffin was the announcement of Bayonetta 2 as exclusive to the Wii U, with Bayonetta being one o...[Read More]
It’s been a while since our last run of contests, but worry not, for we have returned with precious goods! The latest in Konami’s line of technical football simulations, Pro Evolution Soccer, is available here on the Playstation 3 platform. We have two copies available. We’re going to be doing things with a slight twist, this time, as we’re allowing the tweet entry to be pe...[Read More]
WINNER ANNOUNCED: Congratulations to keklar! About a month ago, SEGA released the sequel to 2010’s Sonic & All-Stars Racing, cleverly titled…Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. The biggest change to the game from its predecessor was the inclusion of multiple vehicle transformation types, allowing the races to transition from ground to air, air to water, water to ground, etc. ...[Read More]
There is a certain expectation that comes with seeing as NIS loge at the opening screen of a game. As the stalwart hold over for traditional Japanese RPG’s, NIS offers a regular injection for those of us with old school sensibilities. Mugen Souls looked to be a fun, turn based romp that would satiate those that crave turn based combat. It was clear it wouldn’t appeal to a massive audience, but it ...[Read More]
I’m a massive fan of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. My wife may claim that she’s a bigger fan, but I was a fan first, so nyah nyah to her. I fell in love with Assassin’s Creed while playing as Altair, up until the penultimate battle which will forever be ingrained in my memory as complete and utter bullshit. While I still love the first Assassin’s Creed, I could not ...[Read More]
A little while ago, Reverb Publishing announced that Sine Mora, their recent XBLA hit, would be coming to the PlayStation Vita. Now, they have announced that the title will also be making its way to the PlayStation 3 via PSN. The game offers a wonderful experience, and will provide PSN gamers a great new title to add to their libraries. The price hasn’t been announced, but if it’s anyt...[Read More]
After completing Mass Effect 3 a total of four times on two platforms, countless hours of multiplayer, and numerous podcasts covering the story and controversies around it, I still don’t know if I’m ready to talk about the game. My career with Mass Effect as a series has meant completion of every game on both Xbox 360 and again on PS3, reading comic books and novels, and pulling everyone I could i...[Read More]
Final Fantasy XIII-2 is generally regarded as a superior game in comparison to its predecessor. As well as being an open apology to disappointed fans, Square Enix is also using XIII-2 as a platform to push DLC to the series, a process that will probably become the norm for the franchise moving forward. With the first few batches of DLC, it is worth looking at how worthwhile the DLC is to the game ...[Read More]
