Hyperdimension Neptunia/Hyperdimension Neptunia PP/localisation/NISA/PlayStation Vita

Just yesterday we reported that NISA is localising Mugen Souls Z for the western market in 2014. It has backed that news up today with even more exciting news; Hyperdimension Neptunia PP on the PlayStation Vita is getting a western localisation. This game from our buddies at Compile Heart and…

Review: The Guided Fate Paradox (PS3)

October 24, 2013

JRPG/Nippon Ichi Software/NISA/Otaku/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/PS3/Reviews/Roguelike/Sony/The Guided Fate Paradox

Review by Matt S. I love a good paradox. They’re the brain twisters for the intelligent, and also philosophy that everyone can think about. Integrate a good paradox into a narrative and you’ll effortlessly engage your reader or viewer as they ponder over the ideas and theories that you’re throwing…

Brutal Gamer News Wrap: 10/24/13

Cosplay/NYCC/PS4/Red Baron/Super Mario 3D World

This week in the News Wrap, BG took a look at the monstrous cost of the PS4 in Brazil, the return of a classic flight sim in Red Baron, a super impressive trailer for Super Mario 3D World and CosPlay. Lots and lots of CosPlay. So, new car or PS4?…

Review: Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut Ultimate Edition (PS3)

Art Game/Deadly Premonition/Hidetaka Suehiro/Horror/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Second Opinion/Sony/Survival Horror/Swery/Xbox 360

Review by Shaan J. On paper, Deadly Premonition might seem like an awful game, and a majority of gamers and critics would have agreed with that sentiment back in 2010, when the game launched on the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, that’s the inherent issue with arthouse games; while there are certainly…

4X Strategy/Dominions 4/PC/Reviews/Strategy

Review by Matt S. Well, Dominions 4 is rather quaint. It’s a game that I actually needed to delve into its manual to understand how to play it… and the manual is over 100 pages long. Am I showing my age to say I actually remember doing that with the…

Trailer: Unepic for Wii U looks pretty awesome

October 23, 2013

trailer/Trailers/Unepic/Wii U

As a big fan of D & D, faithful attempts to parody the experience have always appealed to me. After all, the whole concept of suiting up awesome armour and descending into the inky black of a dungeon to slay orcs, trolls, and dragons is timeless, but it’s also quite…

NISA to localise Mugen Souls Z… but again opt for self-censorship

October 23, 2013

Censorship/Compile Heart/controversy/localisation/Mugen Souls/Mugen Souls Z/NISA

Mugen Souls was a bit of a weird game, but back when it was released I rather loved it. It was silly, but charming and its ridiculously deep combat mechanics kept me playing for some time. But it was also a remarkably controversial release for NISA (the publisher) and Compile…

Review: The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 – Faith (Xbox 360)

October 23, 2013

Microsoft Xbox 360/Microsoft Xbox Live/point-and-click adventure/Reviews/telltale games/The Wolf Among Us/Xbox 360/Xbox 360 Review

Review by Nick H. Telltale Games has earned a really nice reputation for being able to first and foremost tell a really good story. Now, with its newest release I have never read the Fables comic series that The Wolf Among Us was based on, so I came into it…

Review: Pokémon X (3DS)

October 23, 2013

3DS/eShop/Game Freak/JRPG/Nintendo/Pokemon/Pokemon X and Y/Reviews

Review by Clark A. For all its critical and sales successes, the Pokémon franchise has been lambasted by an increasingly vocal minority for reusing the same formula over and over again. Enter Pokémon X (and Y) for the 3DS, arguably the most ambitious title the main series has seen in…

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…
