I’m not trying to brag, but rather point out that the content here is a bit slim for rhythm gaming regulars. What is included, though, is simply excellent and well worth the entry price. The entire A/V presentation, mixed with solid and tight gameplay, create easily one of the most addictive...
While the Duke content is disappointing, that doesn’t change the fact that the remastered Bulletstorm is still a blast to play. Putting this game back in my hands reminded me how enjoyable it is to relish in goofy ridiculousness. Even if it is a naturally short ride down memory lane, it’s a...
Toukiden 2 is a title that appeals greatly to fans of the genre. If you’re already into hunting RPGs, you don’t want to miss this one. If you’ve never dabbled, I’d say this is a great place to start. If you’re a gamer like me, though, who’s less into open...
The game has developed a cult following since its original releases, and seems to have developed a “love it or hate it” reputation. After my experience with the title, I definitely fall into the latter category. The slow start combined with the mechanics presented created a painful experience, and by...
If you’re a fan of the series, or have ever had a passing interest, Estival Versus is definitely a title to check out. If you’re not, the game still provides enough mindless beat-em-up fun that makes it worth a second glance. If you’re averse to blatant fanservice, though, you may...
For the occasional graphical stutter and a few moments of mechanical frustration (and, if we’re being honest, partly to be completely sure I didn’t let my biases get the better of me) I’ve docked a single point. Does that mean it borders on perfection or merely commands a respectable A-minus?...
As an introduction to the world of Berserk, this would be a great title to play, as it definitely piqued my interest to read the original manga. For those burned out on musou titles, I’d say this is still a game to look into. Much of it is familiar, but...
It’s no secret that Sony has shifted their focus away from the Vita, but that hasn’t stopped developers from coming through for their fanbases. Most JRPG fans in the West are pretty used to importing their favorite titles without much hope for a localization. Thankfully for Atelier fans, this is...
There’s a solid base here underneath the parts I take issue with, though. It feels like Omega Force put in a great amount of effort to translate their mindless button-mashing franchise to tactical gameplay, and I would say that they managed to pull it off mostly successfully. The greatest achievement...
While the series is no longer the co-op action game that I came to enjoy, I can’t deny that its new first person perspective and successful return to its survival horror roots make for a fantastic entry to the series. It makes me remember the amazing atmospheric tension of the...
I can’t score this game in a vacuum, though. As such, the game as a whole is fairly average. If you’re a fan of the Fate franchise or the musou genre, this title is definitely worth a look. To the general gaming public, I’d say to rent it first and...
