Review: Onechanbara Z2: Chaos (Sony PlayStation 4)

August 3, 2015
action game/B-grade/exploitation/onechanbara/Onechanbara Z2: Chaos/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Tamsoft/XSEED/XSEED Games

It amuses me to know that this game will almost certainly be fixated on by a large number of critics and players for its costuming. They won’t be entirely wrong for that, because the four protagonists of Onechanbara Z2: Chaos really are dressed in the most ridiculously skimpy costumes from…

Film review: Tokyo Tribe (DVD)

April 24, 2015
exploitation/film/film review/grindhouse/musical/Shion Sono/Tokyo Tribe/Yakuza

Tokyo Tribe blows my mind. Coming to us from Sion Sono (the same guy that helmed the also-brilliant Why Don’t You Play In Hell?), Tokyo Tribe is a violently clever homage and self-referential parody of grindhouse, exploitation, and yakuza films. From end to end it is an extreme pastiche of…

Film review: 009-1: The End of the Beginning

July 29, 2014
009-1/009-1: The End of the Beginning/B-grade/exploitation/film/film review

Art/E3/E3 2014/exploitation/Goichi Suda/goreporn/Let It Die/Opinion/PlayStation/transgressive

Opinion by Matt S. With all the hype from the E3 2014 shows of Sony, Microsoft, EA and Ubisoft starting to die down, I’ve spent the rest of the day (here in Australia) processing all that I just saw.  Valiant Hearts is clearly the most emotionally loaded game that we…

Review: Girl Fight (PS3)

October 22, 2013
Dead or Alive/Dead or Alive 5/exploitation/Fighting game/fighting games/Girl Fight/Reviews

Review by Matt S.  Exhibit A: Dead or Alive. A game that features rather lovely ladies (and men, but no one really pays any attention to them, do they?) wearing rather… lovely… costumes beating the living bejeebus out of one another. Dead or Alive is a popular franchise. I get…

Dead or Alive/Dead or Alive 5/exploitation/Opinion/sexism

Article by Matt S. $60. If you’re going to buy the complete set of optional downloadable costumes available for Dead or Alive 5 (that being all the costumes released for the previous versions of the games, Dead or Alive 5 and Dead or Alive 5 + on the Vita), you’re…
