    Posted by on May 25, 2016 under PS4, Reviews
    Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance is a continuation of NIS America's tactical, isometric JRPG series that centers around the Netherworld, its demon Overlords, and the tantrum-prone demon emperor himself, Dark Void. The player assumes the role of Killa, a young demon that possesses just enough power to be considered an Overlord. Together with Seraphina - a sheltered princess and the Overlord of Gorg... more.
  • Slice It! Review (Nintendo 3DS)

    Posted by on May 25, 2016 under Portables, Reviews
    Slice It by developer Arc System Works is a geometric-based puzzle game that began its life as a smartphone app for both Android and iOS devices respectively. The Nintendo 3DS version of Slice It - while similar to its smartphone brethren - utilizes the Nintendo 3DS' touch screen and stylus to 'slice' the on-screen shapes into smaller objects. The game includes a staggering 240 puzzles that spa... more.

  • Just Cause 3 Review (Playstation 4) – It’s No GTA, But It’s Close

    Posted by on May 2, 2016 under PS4, Reviews
    Just Cause 3 by Avalanche Software is a third-person action-adventure game that shares many similarities with Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series. As the game's wise cracking, flamboyant protagonist Rico Rodriguez, the player is returned to the fictitious, open sandbox Mediterranean island known as Medici (Rico's homeland) from Just Cause 2. The once peaceful tropical island is now at war with Gene... more.
  • Sadame Review (Nintendo 3DS)

    Posted by on April 29, 2016 under Portables, Reviews
    Rising Star's Sadame is a game that is reminiscent of the old RPG games that I used to play when I was younger, where you whack your way through the levels to get to the end of the game. It has an interesting story combined with an original art style that will draw the player in enough to keep playing to the end, but it is not without some flaws. The game often times feels as if it is trying to be... more.
  • Dying Light The Following Review (Playstation 4)

    Posted by on April 29, 2016 under PS4, Reviews
    Dying Light: The Following is an expansion to Techland's Dying Light, a first-person survival horror game that launched on January 27th, 2015 for next gen consoles. The expansion introduces a plethora of new content, including characters, weapons, gameplay enhancements, and (surprisingly) drivable vehicles. The game world has also been expanded to twice the size of the original game, giving the pl... more.
  • Unreal World Review (PC)

    Posted by on April 28, 2016 under PC, Reviews
    Unreal World is a survival roguelike that will test your skills as a gamer. It’s one of the oldest survival games around sans Rogue, Nethack and Slashem. Originally released in the nineteen-nineties, Unreal World revolutionized the genre with its hardcore gameplay and large maps. Like most roguelikes, the player starts the game with just enough equipment to survive. Surviving the first year happ... more.
  • Rabi Ribi Review (PC)

    Posted by on April 28, 2016 under PC, Reviews
    Rabi-Ribi is a quirky and zany tale about a female rabbit that is transformed into a human. The game feels more like a visual novel than a platformer, but it incorporates the best elements from the bullet hell shooter, platformer and visual novel genres. The game also plays much like Castlevania and Metroid before both series made the transition to 3D. Rabi-Ribi has a rich, but rather long int... more.
  • Radio Hammer Review (Nintendo 3DS)

    Posted by on March 24, 2016 under Portables, Reviews
    Radio Hammer is an original and fast paced rhythm game that is available for the Nintendo 3DS. This game stands out as one of the quirkiest and original games that I have had the pleasure of playing, as it has you bopping enemies on the head with a giant hammer in time with the music. There are four different playable characters in the game; complete with their own backstory and type of enemy. The... more.

    Posted by on March 18, 2016 under Portables, Reviews
    Developed by Imageepoch, Stella Glow is a turn-based strategy JRPG that sees the player in the role of Alto, a young man that is suffering from amnesia. Unofficially adopted by friend Lisette, the game's protagonist lives peacefully in the town of Mithra Village until the Witch of Destruction turns the town -- and just about everyone inside of it -- into crystal via a powerful song. Grief stricken... more.
