Dark Souls 2 Review (PC)

Dark Souls 2 is a direct sequel to the 2011 hit Dark Souls developed by From Software. Dark Souls 2 starts the player off in the world of Drangleic, a once powerful kingdom that has since fallen to disrepair. The story in Dark Souls 2 is so far apart from Dark Souls in so many ways while still remaining awkwardly tied to the hip of its more lore developed brother. Dark Souls was a very challenging game to tackle due to the very rewarding combat and sense of advancement. Dark Souls 2 doesn’t follow this formula unfortunately.

Tales From The Borderlands Episode 1 Review (PS4)

TalesFromTheborderlandsBox

The good folks at Telltale Games are at it again; this time teaming up with Gearbox to bring us a rather unique Borderlands experience, with storytelling overshadowing the first person shooter and RPG elements seasoned Borderlands players are used to. Being a Borderlands fan myself, I must admit I was quite skeptical when I first heard about this project; the type of games they are known for just did not seem to fit in with the high action, guns blazing gameplay Borderlands is known for. However, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt seeing as how they have multiple video game awards under their belt. The first episode in the series dropped recently and was able to play it in it’s entirety. So did this risky project garner positive results or was it a terrible train wreck? Let’s find out.

Project X Zone Review (3DS)

However, not to long after the release it was announced that the game would launch in North America. Will having a huge crossover game get you hyped or will it be fan service overload?

Senran Kagura Burst Review (3DS)

Xseed Games has been known for bringing a lot of high quality Japanese games stateside without the need for importing. The Last Story, Fragile Dreams, and the Little King’s Story to name a few. So when it was announced that Senran Kagura Burst would be available stateside, people were surprised given the content of the game. To play it safe, the game released as a digital download on the Nintendo eShop, while Europe has a choice to buy the game digital or physical. Will this be another big hit for Xseed Games, or will it be a bust? Sorry for the double pun.
