Review: Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

Posted By: Vincent Parisi In: Gaming News, PC, Playstation 3, Reviews, Xbox 360 On: 06 Sep

Developer: Starbreeze Studios Publisher: 505 Games MSRP: $14.99 Platforms: PSN, Steam, XBLA (reviewed) When it comes to Arcade titles, I think we often temper our expectations at least a little bit; whether we’re willing to admit it out loud or not. The obvious assumption is that, because a game is cheaper, it is somehow inherently […]

Tales of Xillia review

Posted By: Michael Lacerna In: Gaming News, Playstation 3, Reviews On: 15 Aug

Wikipedia defines “comfort food” as a ”traditionally eaten food (which often provides a nostalgic or sentimental feeling to the person eating it)” Everyone has their own comfort food: for some immigrants, it’s food that reminds them of their homeland, and for some people, it’s simply a dish that their parents used to make for them when they […]

Review: Tales of Xillia

Posted By: Vincent Parisi In: Gaming News, Playstation 3, Reviews On:

Developer: Namco Bandai Publisher: Namco Bandai MSRP: $59.99 Platforms: PS3 (Exclusive) The awkwardly-nicknamed “Tales of” series, frequently shortened to simply “Tales”, has a longstanding tradition of being one of the best JRPGs around. Unfortunately for me, I wasn’t introduced to the series until later in the franchise, so my Tales credentials only go back so […]

BioShock Infinite: Clash in the Clouds DLC review

Posted By: Michael Lacerna In: PC, Playstation 3, Reviews, Xbox 360 On: 31 Jul

BioShock Infinite’s take on Gears of War’s “Horde mode” might not be what most fans were expecting for the game’s first DLC expansion, but anybody who thought that Infinite’s gameplay was just as good as its story will find hours of entertainment with Clash in the Clouds.

Review: Time and Eternity

Posted By: Vincent Parisi In: Gaming News, Playstation 3, Reviews On: 24 Jul

Developer: Image Epoch Publisher: NIS America (Nippon Ichi Software)/Namco Bandai MSRP: $49.99 Platforms: PS3 (Exclusive) The PS3 is no stranger to JRPGS. But, in a generation that has seen a steep decline in the once-prominent genre, the benchmark for quality role-playing has certainly elevated to a near-elite status. Whether it’s due to an aging generation […]

Retro Round Up: The Wasted Effort of the 3DS Game Gear emulator

Posted By: Michael Lacerna In: Blog, Console News, Gaming News, Handheld, Nintendo DS/3DS, Playstation 3, Wii U On: 15 Jul

Retro Round Up is a… uh, semi-regular feature (I’m bad at sticking to a schedule,) that takes a look at what’s new in the world of old games. This week: I lament over the wasted awesome-ness of the 3DS Virtual Console’s Game Gear emulator, and talk about Super Mario Bros. 2,Castle of Shikigami II, and […]

Animal Crossing: New Leaf review

Posted By: Michael Lacerna In: Gaming News, Handheld, Reviews On: 01 Jul

Yeah, it’s pointless. But so is every other game you like. When I tell people I’m playing Animal Crossing, they often ask me, “What’s the point of that game?” To be honest, Animal Crossing has no point. Some people can’t seem to wrap their heads around that idea: when I tell that that AC has […]

Posted By: Michael Lacerna In: Blog, Console News, Gaming News, Playstation 3 On: 22 Jun

Final Fantasy XIV is set to relaunch this summer with the brand new subtitle of “A Realm Reborn.” The new name isn’t just some marketing ploy: FFXIV is basically a brand new game now, and my time with the game’s PS3 beta has left me feeling pretty optimistic about the game’s future.
