Bandai Namco Games/Dark Souls II: Crown of the Sunken King/DLC Review/From Software/JRPG/Microsoft Xbox 360/Reviews/Xbox 360 Review

Review by Shaan J. Hot off of the heels of punishing myself by playing Dark Souls II, I immediately jumped back into the world of Drangleic, this time to explore the game’s first DLC expansion – Crown of the Sunken King. For what it is worth, I was initially skeptical.…

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/mousepad/Roccat/Roccat Sense Gaming Mousepad

Review by Rob P. Mousepads fall into three categories. There are rigid pads, which are slick but noisy. There are fabric pads, which are quieter and more controllable. And there’s the mousepad that you got free with a magazine. Don’t use that one. It’s rubbish. Regardless of which type you…

Hyperdimension Neptunia/Hyperdimension Neptunia RE;Birth1/Idea Factory/Idea Factory International/JRPG/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Sony

Review by Matt S. I am so very glad that Idea Factory and Compile Heart saw fit to remake the original Hyperdimension Neptunia. The genesis for the weird and wonderful adventures that Nep-Nep and her strange friends go on is an important game for anyone who enjoyed the sequels. After…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Growing up, the only thing that I was missing for my toy cars was one of those awesome mats that had cities, roads and parking lots printed on it. Instead of asking my parents for one like some of my friends had, I used my imagination.…

Review by Rob P. Here’s a happy little story for you. Some time ago, I reviewed the Roccat Savu gaming mouse, and I rather liked it. I remember saying that it just needed one extra button to make it (almost) perfect. Well, two years have gone by, and Roccat is…

brawler/Fighting game/Marvelous AQL/PlayStation Vita/Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus/Senran Kagura: Bon Appétit/trailer

News by Jedediah H. Partially due to its over-the-top humour that was largely an effect of its tongue-in-cheek criticism of sexualisation, Senran Kagura Burst was a surprise hit on the 3DS when it released earlier this year, which is awesome for fans and aspiring players because thanks to that title’s…

August 6, 2014

anime/anime review/Beserk/Beserk: The Golden Age/Blu-ray/Horror

Review by Matt S. Berserk’s concluding chapter is horrific, with some of the most sickening gore and sexual violence imagery that you’ll ever see in a mainstream anime work. What’s so fascinating about it is that this extreme imagery is completely within context and the anime would be a lesser…
