Film review: Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno (Blu-Ray)

April 20, 2015
action/film/film review/historical epic/Historical Fantasy/Keishi Ohtomo/Rurouni Kenshin

The Rurouni Kenshin series of films is what 47 Ronin should have been. Stripped of the formula that marks a Hollywood period film, and replaced with an actual understanding of the Japanese culture and philosophy (as you would hope, given that it is a film native to Japan), Rurouni Kenshin…

Review: Bladestorm: Nightmare (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 17, 2015
action/Bladestorm/Bladestorm: Nightmare/Historical Fantasy/history/Koei Tecmo/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

I never thought that Koei Tecmo would return to the Bladestorm franchise. After releasing the original early in the PlayStation 3 life cycle (so early that trophies hadn’t been implemented yet), it quickly became a largely forgotten cult hit, and with no real indication that Koei Tecmo was happy with…

Review: Assassin’s Creed: Unity (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 18, 2014
Assassin's Creed/Assassin's Creed Unity/Historical Fantasy/open world game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Assassin’s Creed: Unity has problems. And I’m not just talking about its bugs, because frankly those things add a level of unintentional comedy to the game that adds value to it. I wanted to break the game just to experience them, and I’m actually going to…

Review by Sam M. There’s something sadistically enjoyable about killing thousands of warriors on the battlefield. And considering this is the first time I have ever played a full Dynasty Warriors game, I found it to be quite an enjoyable romp through the historical fiction Romance of the Three Kingdoms…

Review: Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag (PS3)

October 31, 2013
Assassin's Creed/Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag/Historical Fantasy/open world game/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Sony/Ubisoft

Review by Matt S.  I loved Assassin’s Creed 3. I realise that’s a controversial statement to make for the fans of the earlier AC games, especially considering that I wasn’t a fan of the series until AC3 (at all), but the trip through early-era America was for me a revelation.…

Review: Dynasty Warriors 8 (PS3)

July 30, 2013
action/Atsushi Miyauchi/Dynasty Warriors 8/Historical Fantasy/Omega Force/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Sony

The Dynasty Warriors franchise has fascinated me, from a gaming culture point of view. Here is a game that in its homeland of Japan consistently rates both with the critics and on the charts, and yet when it is released in the west there is always, inevitably, a vocal group…
