9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors (999) is developed by Chunsoft games, and part of the Zero Escape series. With a name like 999, there is so little telling what the game is about, it’s how that I was drawn into it’s mystery. It’s another game that I haven’t heard much press on, [...]
Star Trek could have been a great game; should have been a great game, but it falls short by a rather large margin. The game feels like it’s missing, at the very least, a year of work. The lack of polish makes the game feel like it’s half-finished. All the core mechanics are there, as [...]
When developer Playdead first released Limbo on Xbox Live Arcade, it was hailed as one great example as a video game working as art. The game made its way from Xbox 360 to PlayStation 3 and PC, and now finally to the PlayStation Vita. As a puzzle game, Limbo is all about trial and error, rather, [...]
Black Rock Shooter has curious origins. The character began as an illustration that would inspire a song that used the vocal synthesizer Hatsune Miku. This song would eventually become part of an anime that focused on a middle school girl who meets Black Rock Shooter when she is transported to another world while searching for [...]
Hyperdimesion Neptuinia Victory was a game I wasn’t sure that I was going to get or not. I would see the first or second game of the series on the shelves and I would be skeptical at best. “Purple, Japanese style girls with serious looks on their faces, would I really enjoy this game?” [...]
Since I have been on an RPG kick lately I thought I would be a great candidate for the review of Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk. I have always been an RPG fan and I grew up playing the original Final Fantasy and other obscure and fun RPG’s. So how well does this game [...]
Knytt Underground is a platformer game that allows the player to explore, what I assume, is a system of very elaborate caves. I’m not one to stray away from any game that I haven’t already played. The game stayed pretty underground (ha ha), and just brought itself to my radar from others talking about it. [...]
Could a medieval combat game be Kickstarter’s shining champion? On September 15, 2012, Chivalry Medieval Warfare was successfully funded on Kickstarter. Torn Banner Studios’ October 16th 2012 commercial debut of Chivalry Medieval Warfare came 5 years after its predecessor Age of Chivalry leaving the Half Life 2 mod scene behind and catapulting itself into Steam’s [...]
First off, I have to admit that Ni No Kuni flew in completely under my radar. I really didn’t know or hear much about it until I saw a demo pop up on the PlayStation Store for it. After playing that demo and talking to a few friends about the game, I was instantly hooked. [...]
Opening Thoughts: EDF! EDF! EDF! That’s right ladies and gents, the fantastically cheesy Earth Defense Force is back in action on the PlayStation Vita with Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable. Now, when I say cheesy I don’t mean it in a bad way. EDF has a reputation for being exactly that, cheesy. In many ways [...]
