As a result of its mixed messages, Disgaea D2 is in an odd spot. It’s a tad easier than previous games, but it also unmistakeably requires a good amount of series knowledge to really get into it and appreciate the characters. But I do have good news — if you...
It’s just a wonderfully crafted, well-paced story about a family. And that’s really it. There’s not much else out there like it. It may not sound like much on paper, but Gone Home had such an impact on me that I’ll be thinking about this game for years to come.
Real Boxing
Vivid Games has done an honorable job of porting a microtransaction-filled mobile game over to the PlayStation Vita, but the port has arrived on the PSN with some of the same flaws present in the original. If you’re a huge fan of boxing games and have been itching for something...
Also, Trevor regularly spoons his juggalo friend’s cousin Floyd while he sobs and apologizes to his out-of-town girlfriend for what he’s just done.
If you’ve ever spent an evening huddled around a table telling tales of crypts and wyverns, I highly recommend that you give Card Hunter a shot. Even if you eventually hit a paywall, you’ll have a ton of fun, and may even recall some of your fondest role-paying memories in the...
Puppeteer is a bold move for a company as big as Sony, and its presence on the PS3 is welcome. It’s worthy of praise that a brand new game property — a classic platformer no less — would get a full retail release this close to the end of the...
Lost Planet 3
Just as how The Bureau: XCOM Declassified was a watered down focused tested version of Mass Effect, Lost Planet 3 feels like a watered down Dead Space. Any redeeming qualities of the Lost Planet franchise are dead and gone, leaving a husk of its former self. Capcom has recently stated...
It’s hard to recommend A Machine For Pigs to every horror fan, as it provides something that could so easily delight or dismay, something that is unique and effective, but potentially shortchanging. If you want to be told a vexingly bizarre story presented with a real sense of style, The...
Tales of Xillia never strays terribly far from the formula set forth by its predecessors. Firmly rooted in the past, it instead introduces a selection of new elements and subtle enhancements that make it feel refreshing while still very familiar. The story and characters are delightful, and an engaging battle...
When I finished my journey through Mount Massive, a wave of relief washed over me. I was free from the asylum, able to turn on the lights, take off my headphones, and not jump every time I saw a shadow. But as I soaked away in the bath, washing off...
As a solo venture, the game can feel boring and tedious as it starts off way too slowly, despite throwing in some interesting boss fights later on. My recommendation is that you play it with friends, chat over some third-party voice program, and forget about your worries as you mindlessly...
In the end, you’re left with a slightly quirky Japanese action game that felt like it could have come from any number of developers. The action isn’t truly technical but it works, and the cast and narrative don’t have that Suda quality charm, but they’re interesting enough to compel you...
