Review: One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 10, 2020

3D fighting game/anime/arena fighting game/Bandai Namco/One Punch Man/PlayStation/PS4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Spike Chunsoft

Review by Clark A. Saitama, the eponymous One Punch Man, has journeyed from homemade web comics to full-fledged Jump magazine releases to gloriously animated works. His next stop poses a dilemma: how do you incorporate a character that wins in a single blow into the video game medium, let alone…

Dead or Alive 6/DLC/Famitsu/News/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. While Koei Tecmo has found itself in some hot water recently for its DLC strategy for Dead or Alive 6 (namely, charging people for hair colour changes that only last until players change the hair colour again), I’ve been really looking forward to the next new…

Review: Two Point Hospital (Nintendo Switch)

Review by Matt S. Two Point Hospital comes across as more a nostalgic in-joke than an attempt at a proper simulation, and while I loved the old Theme Hospital as much as the next person, what made that game so memorable was that it also offered a tight, engaging, challenging…

Ganbare! Super Strikers/JRPG/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/tactics/tactics game

Review by Matt S. Football (yes, yes, “soccer” in some parts) is a highly tactical sport. Sure, players don’t run around in turn-based fashion, but the ebb and flow of a match, and the way that each player has their defined role and ability set… well, it’s all downright Final…

Ganbare! Super Strikers: Oh, to have a big-budget version of this

Football/Ganbare! Super Strikers/Ratalaika Games/tactics/tactics game/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Ganbare! Super Strikers is a super-indie little title that was recently released on everything. It’s one of those cheap little throwaway games that you’ll forget having played soon enough, but it’s also quite enjoyable while it lasts. I’ve done a video looking at the basic tactics…

Review: Langrisser I & II (Nintendo Switch)

March 6, 2020

JRPG/Langrisser/Langrisser I & II/Nintendo Switch/NISA/Reviews/Switch Review/tactics/tactics game

Review by Matt S. You can’t really fault the developer (Chara-Ani), or publisher, NISA, for trying. On the back of Fire Emblem becoming one of Nintendo’s most important properties, it’s not surprising on any level that someone would want to dust off Langrisser (originally Warsong in the west). It was,…

Video by Harvard L. Mystic Vale releases on the Nintendo Switch in a week or so, but it has been kicking around on PC for a year now. It also happens to be a very, very good digital adaptation of an excellent board game. In his latest Let’s Play, Harvard…

News by Matt S. Prinny 1 & 2 were platformers released back on the PSP. Featuring NISA’s demon-penguin mascot, these games were infamous for being very challenging and very, very good. Now NISA has decided to bundle them up together and release them on Nintendo Switch. The package will include…

No matter how disgusting he finds anime, Senator Stirling Griff is wrong to try to censor it

Opinion by Matt S. It’s such an easy topic to champion in the political sphere that it can only be cynical – for those that haven’t been following Australian politics, one of our more obscure and useless senators, Stirling Griff, has decided to go on a campaign against anime and…
