Devoid of Hope — Danganronpa: The Animation review

Danganronpa’s story is one that should, in theory, lend itself to an animated adaptation. Even without the investigations and trials to partake in, the core of the story Spike Chunsoft tells is riveting, and one that could be emulated in an episodic series for those without the time to

Old Hat — Dragon Age: Magekiller impressions

For as much rich lore and cultures that the Dragon Age series boasts, you’d think at this point we’d have more stories to tell that don’t involve the world of Thedas’ perception of mages. Dragon Age: Magekiller’s first issue does little to differentiate the comic from

StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void review – My life for Aiur

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty rebuilt a great deal of the StarCraft formula. Cutscenes were better, interactions within missions were more frequent, and the mission structures were vastly improved, but some fans were unconvinced by James Raynor’s story.

Making quite a racquet — Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash review

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash has all the markings of a great Mario sports title. Its easy controls and straightforward presentation mix perfectly with lighthearted, arcade-style gameplay to create an experience that is hugely appealing and hard to put down.

Tears in the cloth — Saint Seiya Soldier’s Soul review

Fatal flaws are not a new pitfall for gaming developers, going back to the quite literal pitfalls of E.T. on the Atari and even further.  Not all fatal gaming flaws are quite as bombastic or historically bad as the previously mentioned one, but no matter how large or slight,

“So seek peace, but prepare for war, because war, war never changes” —  Ulysses S. Grant This may be true, unless you’re talking about video game war, in which case war changes every year. From the Cold War to the Vietnam War, from modern war to advanced war, and from

The Art of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate review

We all wanted Japan, but Ubisoft wanted to make another trip to Europe for a pivotal event in modern history — the Industrial Revolution. In the period between 1760 and 1840, everything changed. It sounds hyperbolic, but it couldn’t be more true. The basis for manufacturing of goods moved from
