JRPG/Mugen Souls/NISA/Otaku Gaming/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/review

As I mentioned recently, I’m a little confused about how exactly to approach Mugen Souls as a review. So I’ll just say at the outset: this game probably isn’t for you. But I love it. If you think of the weirdest game you’ve ever played, it probably doesn’t come close…

I look at the dictionary definition of ‘revolution,’ and I have to question its application to the newest Worms game. There is nothing revolutionary about Worms Revolution, but then again that’s not really a bad thing. In fact, those times that Team 17 have really tried to mix up the…

Remember that Valve announced it would be selling computer software through its popular digital distribution service Steam way back in August of 2012? No, neither did I. While that partly has to do with the fact that Valve missed its delivery date by almost a month (September 5th was the…

I’ve tried writing a review for Mugen Souls a couple of times now, since ploughing through it. I’ve sat at my computer staring at a blank screen with not a clue how to actually review this game. I’ve tried writing under the influence of coffee, and then beer. Neither stimulant…
