Reviewing Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha the Movie 2nd A’s Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha the Movie 2nd A’s is a 2012 animated action movie based on the 13 episodes long series of almost same name aired between October and December, 2005. “The Movie 2nd” and “the Movie 1st” bits make one think they really should have English speakers doing double check on those movies’ title. When A’s tv show aired i...

Klonoa is one of those series that has always been on my “to play” list but I never got around to. I remember liking a demo for the first game on PS1 but I don’t think I ever picked it up because the price was never right. I knew the remake and sequel both got good reviews on the PS2/Wii but like a lot of people I just wasn’t that into the idea of a short 2.5D platformer during those generation...

I don’t really like Twisted Metal 2. I want to establish that right off the bat. It’s not even a case of having enjoyed it at the time but it aged poorly for me or even not having played it at release so I approached it with inappropriate expectations…I played it in 1996 or 1997 when someone brought it to my house and even though I liked it conceptually I didn’t think the game was fun then. I t...

I've yet to dabble in this new wave of Sinocentric games to hit Steam over the past few years, the world's most populous country having joined the global video game industry in earnest just semi-recently, but if the likes of Sword and Fairy or Gujian are as charming as this adventure game (from a Canadian development team, but still kinda counts) set in 7th/8th century China I might find myself...

A Brief Primer On Pendulo To the many of you that have lived wonderful lives not knowing this game existed, I'm sorry. Pendulo is a studio I never thought I would cover with my " Quest for the Worst Adventure Game " series on Giant Bomb, and there's no specific malice behind my reasoning. As I will discuss shortly, their games today have strayed away from traditional adventure game conventions...

Movies entertain us by allowing us to observe fantastic, thrilling, and emotional events. We can watch Tom Cruise’s famous portrayal of Ethan Hunt, for example, riding a motorcycle off a cliff as he attempts to carry out yet another impossible mission. Games take entertainment to the next level by placing us in an interactive role. Rather than just observing as the motorcycle makes its jump, we...

When we were relegated to sitting at home needing to entertain ourselves at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us turned to building home theaters. Reports show that, by 2027, the home theater market will reach $3.88 billion . Whether through a dedicated “theater room” in one’s home or just a killer set-up in the living room, interest in immersive home theater experiences has grown. D...

As I said I few months back, the Sega CD 's fortunes are going to be picking up in 1993 and so we'll be seeing many more of these Mega Archive CD "gaiden" entries between the core Mega Archive installments. I'm totally cool with this new development: the Mega/Sega CD has been a fascinating platform to research due to how both sides of the Atlantic approached CD-ROM gaming completely differently...

A month ago I blogged about the proposed Intellivision Amico game library and how it showed that Intellivision never had a serious business plan . Part of the purpose of that post was to lay the groundwork for this one, examining the same issue but from the opposite perspective. In other words, what’s missing from Intellivision’s announced lineup that should have been there if they had actually...

Reviewing Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha the Movie 1st Poster of this movie featured both on IMDB and as cover for its Japanese home media release. Featuring (left to right) Fate Testarosa and the titular character Nanoha Takamachi No, Bayonetta 3 and its multiverse madness got nothing to do with this title. While it’s clear that Dan Ryckert is not as anti-anime as he was about a decade ago, invit...

As someone who plays between 24 and 25 hours of Halo Infinite a day, I know a thing or two about getting your ass kicked in the multiplayer. I've also had time to observe how players like to approach problems and which approaches do and do not work. One of the most common mistakes I see is people charging in to melee an opponent like they're Conan the Barbarian and getting knocked on their back...

In the ever-evolving tapestry of video game history, certain consoles emerge as true pioneers, leaving an indelible mark on the industry's landscape. One such groundbreaking device was the Nintendo Famicom , short for Family Computer, which debuted in Japan on July 15, 1983. Often heralded as the progenitor of the modern gaming console, the Famicom revolutionised home entertainment and set the...

Since I bothered to invent a stupid name for them, I've been more eager of late to check out some more Indie Zeldersatzes : those that take after Nintendo's most wanderlust-y of tentpole franchises, The Legend of Zelda . Since Zelda flipped the script lately with Breath of the Wild (and Tears of the Kingdom , suggesting this current style is here to stay) there's been a number of Indies as insp...

Ubisoft is already becoming worse than EA. They are known for making garbage games such as Stupid Invaders and Hooters Road Trip , and they are known to milk the Assassin's Creed , Far Cry , Just Dance, Rabbids (which I despise with a flaming burning passion a lot), and Tom Clancy's series for stupid reasons, mainly since they have more popularity and gives them enough money but ignore their ot...

So, Tears of the Kingdom has been a game that is both extremely easy for me to write about, but really hard for me to focus into a piece of writing I feel good about. Because it's a game that I think is truly special, and because of the breadth of things I have to say about it, the current plan is to do a three part “series” of blogs on it. This is Part 1, which focuses on if I think it manages...

I have very mixed feelings about Final Fantasy XVI. It’s a game that I loved at the outset when I played the demo the night before release, then liked for most of the first 10 hours or so, only to sour on it as it dragged on with a slow plot and repetitive gameplay, only to warm back up during climactic moments or new areas opening up. I repeated this cycle several times, sometimes feeling like...
