News by Matt S. The first AeternoBlade, but Thai developer/publisher Corecell Technologies, didn’t exactly set the world on fire, but you could see that the ideas behind the game were both noble and sound.

Dead or Alive/Dead or Alive 6/DLC/Koei Tecmo/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. So, Dead or Alive 6 finally released last week, and it is a particularly good fighting game. The best 3D fighting game ever, as far as I’m concerned, and argued in my review. But, of course, this is the games industry, so rather than talk about…

Review: Dead or Alive 6 (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 1, 2019

Dead or Alive/Dead or Alive 6/fanservice/Fighting game/fighting games/Koei Tecmo/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/sex

Review by Matt S. I can’t think of many games that I’d rather play than something from my beloved Dead or Alive series. I discovered it with Dead or Alive 3, and haven’t looked back since. In fact, before Dead or Alive 3, I was a marginal fan of fighting…

Preview by Matt S. I had the privilege to recently get some good hands-on time with SEGA’s upcoming Judgement (Judge Eyes in Japan). As I usually do, I went into this pretty vague – I try and keep myself clear of news about a game before I play it, so…

News by Matt S. Warner Bros. has continued the slow drip-feed of character trailers in the lead up to the release of Mortal Kombat 11, the latest in the goretastic goreporn b-grade horror-themed nightmare fighting series. Cage is one of the oldest characters in the series, and remains a popular…
