SoulCalibur II HD Online Review

November 20, 2013 Leave a comment

“Transcending history and the world
A tale of souls and swords eternally retold”

SoulCalibur II is considered by many, including myself, as one of the greatest games in the long running series. A fighting game made popular through the arcades, and at home on the PS2, Xbox, and GameCube has resurfaced, and this time the game is remastered in glorious high definition. In this latest re-release, Namco Bandai seems to have learned their lesson due to the disaster of the original release of SoulCalibur on Xbox Live Arcade a while back with no HD upgrades and barely any features. Now Namco Bandai and Project Soul has given players a much improved complete HD experience with SoulCalibur II.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX Review

September 10, 2013 Leave a comment

When I first purchased Kingdom Hearts on the PlayStation 2 more then a decade ago I received a few looks from some people. Why? Well because they thought I was some weird person in my late twenties purchasing a “kiddie” game featuring Disney characters. How narrow sighted these people were. What they didn’t know was that Disney characters aside, Kingdom Hearts is considered one of the best story driven action role playing games of all time. The combination of the worlds of Square and Disney makes for a game filled with plenty of emotional drama along with all the intense battle sequences that made for some truly memorable moments.

Back in 1989, a video game came along and changed the way we view games forever. Disney and Capcom took us on a journey to the land of Duckburg, but that was only the beginning. The real adventure was soon to follow that took us everywhere from the Amazon all the way too the Moon itself. All of this while singing that all too familiar tune.

Dragon’s Crown Review

August 7, 2013 2 comments

If you asked me a couple of months ago about the game Dragon’s Crown I would respond to you with this phrase. “What’s Dragon’s Crown?” Before E3 I had no clue about this game, but during the show I became more aware about this action/role playing adventure. However, most media members were paying more attention to a certain Sorceress’ large rack. Breasts aside, as the professional journalist that I am, I was able to look past the succulent tits and focus in on what’s important. What I can tell you is that beneath all the scrutiny Dragon’s Crown is actually a very entertaining fantasy adventure filled with tons of action as well as satisfaction.

Bioshock Infinite: Clash in the Clouds DLC Review

It has felt like an eternity, but Irrational Games has finally announced their DLC plans for Bioshock Infinite. For a while I was regretting my Season Pass purchase since there was no new content, but now I can see why it’s been taking so long. The upcoming single player story content entitled “Burial at Sea” looks absolutely amazing as I’ll get to return to the familiar surroundings of the underwater city of Rapture. Sadly, since that DLC won’t release until further down the road, Irrational Games has released something to hold gamers like myself over. Clash in the Clouds has arrived, and the new content feels like something very familiar that I’ve played many times before, but it’s unfortunately not the DLC that I was hoping for.
