Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Review
Quickly becoming an icon for the indie game scene, Shantae’s humble beginnings started on the Gameboy Color and from there went on a journey that started a franchise. Shantae’s latest adventure comes in the form of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, which is available on Steam, PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, and the Vita. Being a huge fan of the last game, Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, I was inc...[Read More]

Let It Die (PS4) Review
Ah, Suda 51, probably one of the wackiest game designers of our time. Games touched by this man are often a shout against society, reveling in counter culture, absurdity, and violence. All of his games are strange, while some of them become shining beacons in a system’s library. Let It Die is the recent release by Grasshopper Manufacture, hitting the PS4 as a free-to-play title that has simi...[Read More]
The Last Guardian Review
The first time I saw anything about The Last Guardian was the 2015 E3 trailer; and while I cannot say that I have been waiting years for this game like many others, I can say that I have been waiting anxiously for the game since that day. I am happy to say that the final release did not disappoint.
Final Fantasy XV – Ten Years in the Making
Back in 2006, an amazing trailer made waves at E3, blowing my teenage mind away as a young Prince stood his ground against an army of soldiers as partially invisible weapons danced about his person. That trailer was for Final Fantasy Versus XIII, a game to be released on the PS3 as part of a larger narrative called the Fabula Nova Crystallis, which was to include three games in the same world. Fin...[Read More]
Dead Rising 4 (Xbox One) Review
It’s the 10th Anniversary of the first installment of Dead Rising, and what better way to celebrate than to have the original game’s protagonist, Frank West, return to where it all started: Willamette, Colorado. I have played and loved every Dead Rising game. Sure they have had their issues but they are bloody good fun. Zombies, government conspiracies, a cast of crazy characters, and TONS of weap...[Read More]
Super Mario Maker (3DS) Review
Super Mario Maker was a marvel back on the Wii U. When it arrived last year, it rejuvenated the console in all the right ways, with online sharing abilities, tons of tools to use to your advantage, amiibo support and a lot of other features. More importantly, it was a game that made it just as much fun to create as it was to play.
Kerbal Space Program (Xbox One) Review
I’ve been a fan of Kerbal Space Program (KSP) since the very early days. Somewhere around Version 0.18 I discovered it as a link from a gaming forum and fell in love. Back then, it was just a direct download from Squad’s website. Steam was a vague future possibility. There was no Mun (moon), no rocket parts beyond the basic solid fuel boosters and liquid fuel engines, no tutorial, and ...[Read More]

In the early part of November, anime publisher Funimation Entertainment released Overlord on Blu-ray and DVD, so we decided to check out this fantasy adventure series with a very familiar story, based on the light novel series written by Kugane Maruyama and illustrated by so-bin.
