If you haven’t heard the word, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is one of the most hyped games of 2018, and it’s one of the biggest crossovers in gaming history. Once upon a time it was only Nintendo characters, but with the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we saw the introduction of Solid Snake to the roster, a third…
So anyone that keeps up with my articles should know by that I play just about anything that isn’t a sports game. Earlier this year I played Honey Select and Artificial Academy 2 from developer Illusion and summed up how I felt about those games. They served a very obvious purpose to anyone that took just one glance…
Back in 2008, Nintendo did the unthinkable. They added a legitimate story mode to Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Unique levels, new enemies, and cinematics to help tell the story. The best part was that none of the characters really ever talked, not even the antagonists. Some sounds sure, but never full on monologuing. And…
The Mobile Suit Gundam franchise is turning 40 years old next year. And, as should be expected of a series celebrating such a milestone, Sunrise has quite a few projects in the works(Sadly, none of them appear to be a 0079 remake.). Just how soon some of these will see the light of the day remains to be seen, but at…
So, today, I decided to watch Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV on my Xbox One X, connected to my LG OLED B7 television via HDMI 2.0 cable, and I was a little surprised by what I saw. As soon as the movie started up I noticed the HDR icon appear at the top right of my screen. Having had this television for nearly three…
Previously I wrote an article detailing how I felt that the anime, Gundam Build Divers, featured a more realistic take on gunpla battling than its predecessors. Rather than using a machine that could bring plastic models to life complete with show accurate special FX and sounds, they use a machine not unlike the…
The internet has been set ablaze with the new that Mobile Suit Gundam will finally be getting a live action adaptation thanks to a partnership between Legendary Pictures and Sunrise. And while it may not be the first live action Gundam film, as so many articles like to claim, it also won’t likely be based on any…
When E3 rolled around, Nintendo had a couple games to show off, but outside of Smash Bros. it didn’t really blow anyone’s socks off and people began to feel like Nintendo’s second year with the Switch wasn’t as good as the first. This prompted former Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima to step up and make the…
The Gundam franchise is no stranger to spin-off series. However, the Build sub-series is a completely different beast. Rather than feature real mecha with pilots putting their lives on the line, the Build series focus on the real world and the gunpla plastic models that are made based on the shows. In this version of…
The past decade of gaming has been characterized by one shared trait among publishers: The desire for more and more money. While they used to finish a game, release it, and called it a day, that is no longer the case. Once paid DLC was introduced, publishers couldn’t get enough of it and wanted to pump out more and…
The idea of crowdfunding has been around for quite a while now and the concept has had plenty of ups and downs. Game developers have gone to site like Kickstarter to fund entire games or the final stretch of a games development. Some of these get funded, others do not. And some of the ones that do either never…
When I was in intermediate and middle school, I read a lot of books. Mostly books based on video games like Halo, Gears of War, and Starcraft, but I did branch out on occasion, such as Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle(Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, and Inheritance). I could sit down with one of those books and read…
Once upon a time, Mobile Suit Gundam was big in the west and we were getting everything from the anime, to the model kits, to the video games. It was everywhere including your local Toys R Us. And then the PlayStation 3 launched with Mobile Suit Gundam Crossfire, a game where you chose to side with either the Earth…
In the days since Halo Infinite’s reveal, I’ve seen many people take to the internet with the belief that this tech demo was evidence that the game would be ditching the linear mission structure and going full on open world and maybe even let you bring your friends along in a shared world sense. I’m here to tell you…
Shonen Jump is a magazine with a very long history dating back 50 years. In that time, it has spawned a plethora of extremely popular series that have received numerous adaptations from anime, to live action, to stage plays, audio drama’s, and of course video games. At this years Electronics Entertainment Expo, at…
After the dud that was EA’s press conference, which sounded like they were speaking to investors rather than the people who will actually be buying their games, the ball was in Microsoft’s court to pick things up and kick off E3 right. And damn did they deliver. Right off the bat we got a gorgeous teaser for Halo 6…
After the reveal of Fallout 76, rumors and leaks came out of the woodworks, saying that the game was not a traditional Bethesda RPG and that it was an online game similar to Ark and Rust. However, more recent rumors have pulled back on the online focus, instead suggesting that the singleplayer portion of the game is…
Quantic Dream has a rocky history when it comes to video games. While I loved Heavy Rain and liked what I did play of Beyond: Two Souls(Which failed to keep my attention by what I assume was close to the halfway point.), I can’t deny that there were faults in their presentation. But they’re faults introduced by the…
Back in 2014, Halo: The Master Chief Collection was one of the most ambitious gaming projects to date. It promised to bring the four Master Chief-centric Halo games to the Xbox One, complete with functioning online multiplayer for Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, at a native 1080p and 60hz. Between Halo: Combat…
Last year, when Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night were revealed to the world, the creators hinted that the Persona 3 dancing games models had significance beyond the Dancing Moon Night game. This potentially hinted at a PS4 remake of Persona 3 built on Persona 5's engine. However, there…
