This is neither praise nor condemnation, but Stardust Galaxy Warriors: Stellar Climax has a name that reminds me of an anime with a translation too strictly precise for its own good.. The title alone will give you a pretty good idea of what’s to come, and while it’s definitely over-the-top
If you’re like me and you grew up playing classic RPGs like Breath of Fire, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy IV and VI (originally, as most people know now, titled II and III in the west), then Earthlock: Festival of Magic will probably catch your attention as soon as you
Having only been a fan for just over a year now, I can’t say that I’m the hardest hardcore Dragon Ball fan to ever live. Not to say that my fandom is half-baked. I jumped in with two feet and a few flips, like Goku getting ready to face-off against

I’m torn. On one hand, I feel like calling Rivals of Aether a Super Smash Bros. clone with Digimon that didn’t make the cut is insulting to the fantastic game that’s in development. On the other hand, Rivals of Aether is definitely a Super Smash Bros. clone and I could
Okay, I know I’m a critic and reviewer and I try to maintain a semblance of professionalism between snark and playful quips, but can I just take a minute to marvel at the fact that I originally reviewed Resident Evil 5 on a personal blog seven years ago and that
When I took on the task of reviewing Dungeons 2, it was with knowledge of its predecessor, but without any real experience with it. It, like many more games than I’m comfortable admitting, had been one of my many Steam sale purchases that sat quietly in my library waiting to
