Retro Review: Alundra (PS3)

September 4, 2012

Alundra/MonkeyPaw Games/PlayStation/PS3/Retro/Retro Reviews

Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda is a game franchise that has over the years developed into a unique formula, many times emulated and rarely (or never, depending on your perspective) bettered. There’s a reasonable case to be made that Darksiders comes close to Nintendo’s green-dressed hero, but for all the…

Review: ClaDun X2 (PC)

September 4, 2012

ClaDun X2/Nippon Ichi Software/PC/Steam/System Prisma

Despite myself not being a huge fan of Japanese role-playing games, I have to give Nippon Ichi Software (NIS) credit.

Chances are, your closets are filled with worn-out plastic guitars and drum sets from years past just like ours. The music craze of yesteryear has left us with a lot of extra junk and tons of unused Rock Band songs on our PS3’s hard drives. While Rock Band Blitz won’t…

Beta/Dust/dust 514/FPS/Opinion

I’ve been messing around a bit with the Dust 514 Beta thanks for my PlayStation Plus subscription, and I really just have one thing to say about the experience: sigh. I want to say from the outset that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the game: in fact, I’m having…

Capcom/Marvel vs Capcom Origins/PAX Prime/PS3/Xbox 360

Capcom’s first main event crossover with Marvel Comics is about to see re-release on Xbox Live and the PSN. So, how’s it holding up? Pretty darned good. Seriously though, did you expect it to have aged that badly? Sure there are some aspects that are going to look outdated compared…
