Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch review

March 24th, 2013

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the Character that doesn't do anything until 30 hours into the game
I took a while to review this one because… well I wanted to play it to the end and it’s a long RPG, with me not having that much time to play games, and playing other things as well (including other RPGs…), thus I couldn’t really write a review in a timely manner. So here’s my review, finally!

Let’s just go right at it!

New Super Mario Bros U review

December 16th, 2012


I’ve been slow on my few Wii U launch reviews because… Persona 4 the Golden… But here’s the next one on my list: New Super Mario Bros U. I know I’ve been harsh with the sub-series after playing 2 this summer, and for what I believe is good reason. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy this sub-series, but it does have some problems.

So does NSMBU do enough to be different from the rest, or is it another rehash? Read on and see!

DS import review – Blood of Bahamut

August 13th, 2009

This is a game we basically knew nothing about before it came out. SE had a countdown site, people were confused at the reveal, and then trailers started  appearing, and people were confused with them since the trailers didn’t explain much about the game. Now the game is out and it all became clear.

So, is it fun to play? Is it as confusing as the trailers made it seem? Is it worth the 60 USD it costs to import? Read on and see!

Keep in mind, this is a japanese game, and I can’t read japanese, so I played the game as well as I could considering that “handicap”, and I might forget/not know about some details.

DS Review – Dragon Quest IX

August 7th, 2009

Dragon Quest is a legendary series in videogames. While it lacks the popularity of Final Fantasy in the West, it is unparralleled in Japan. Anyone who recalls that infamous law in Japan can attest to the incredible fanbase the series has. But the question that has been on everyone’s lips ever since the announcement of Dragon Quest IX being a handheld game, the question of whether or not Dragon Quest can still be Dragon Quest on the DS… Well over three million people have bought the game so far – do you want to know the answer?

DS import review – Katekyoo Hitman Reborn! DS Flame Rumble X – Mirai Chou-Bakuhatsu!!

August 3rd, 2009

Reborn is one of my favorite anime series. It features great characters, good voice acting, awesome battles and attacks, and an interesting story.

This is actually the third game in this series of Reborn games. The first one… well it was a big pile of crap. Broken characters, pretty much no comboing, and it was overall no good. The second game (I was surprised they made one considering the first one was lame) was a huge improvement. Easier comboing, a few more characters, and overall a lot more enjoyable.

So does this one suck as much as the first, or did they improve again?

Keep in mind this is an import, and it’s in Japanese, so I can’t describe EVERYTHING, but I’ll describe all I can whitin what I’ve been able to understand/do.

DS Import Review – Game Center CX: Arino no Chousenjou 2

March 4th, 2009

You might remember, not too long ago, I reviewed Retro Game Challenge(click here to read it, as I’ll make reference to it a few times). Retro Game Challenge was actually a translation of Game Center CX: Arino no Chousenjou, which came out almost 2 years over here after the Japanese release. Well, a bit over 2 years after Game Center CX: Arino no Chousenjou, we get a sequel! Sure, it’s in japanese, but why not review it now instead of waiting another 2 years?

Well, my experience with the original is fresh, considering it came out just a few weeks ago. Now, keep in mind, I can’t read japanese, so I can’t do a 100% complete review of the game. I don’t know what the characters are saying, I can’t read the magazines or instruction booklets, and I can’t play some of the games in there at all with a step-by-step guide. And of course I either have to improv my way through challenges or check guides.

So let’s go and see if the second Retro Game Challenge is actually a challenge this time around(yeah, the first game was easy… yet really fun!).

Too Human – An analysis of the video game reviewing industry

February 15th, 2009

Ah, video game reviews. I’m kinda familiar with that, obviously. Tell people about a game, and tell them if you liked it and why. Simple really. But seemingly not, as the standards of the reviewing world are pretty much screwed up.
 
I’ve got quite a few things to rant about here, so read on!
