Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Review (PS3)

October 8, 2015

To celebrate twenty years in the manga business, ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki Bunko thought it would have an arcade fighter be made to have players fight against other characters from Dengeki Bunko mangas ranging from “The Devil Is a Part Timer” to “Sword Art Online.” As with most arcade fighters, it has now hit the console scene, though the console version has been available in Japan for the past year. Fans overseas now have a chance to play this. Will this be a nice change of pace for the fighting genre, or will the over the top style of the game turn people off?

Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson Review (3DS)

September 30, 2015

After the success of Senran Kagura Burst (download only) in the US, XSEED Games decided to bring the sequel stateside. With Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson, there is now a limited edition physical copy you can buy, or you can still buy it via download. There is also an anime series if the game isn’t enough for you to watch these shinobi warriors in action. So does Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson improve on what was needed from Senran Kagura Burst, or will you be too brainwashed by the fan service to notice?

What first started as a minigame in Super Mario 3D World got good praise (from myself included) for being a highlight of the game. At E3 2014, Nintendo announced that it would become a full game. Some were wondering how the game would be in long spurts, as the game was fine in small spurts in Super Mario 3D World. As the game came close to release day it was announced that it would be budget priced, which had many people think twice about picking this game up.

Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious Review (Xbox One)

July 29, 2015

Movie tie-ins with videogames have become an interesting topic; movie companies feel they can make a quick buck off of fans of the movie, while the gaming companies have to rush development to release within the movie’s release date. Results are usually not that great, with a few exceptions (LEGO games, James Bond). It only made sense with the latest (should’ve been the last), Fast and Furious movie to give fans a chance to drive modified versions of vehicles we can only dream of, since we don’t have that type of bank account. Forza Horizon 2 was released first last year in late fall for Xbox One and Xbox 360, while the Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious edition (standalone) was released a month prior to the new movie. Will this standalone game let you ride like family, or will you want to crash and burn?
