5 out of 5 starsA mixture of sparkles and chainsaws only Japan can conceive. When Suda51 ’s name is tied to a project, the most reasonable expectation is a complete disregard for sanity. His special brand of twisted logic has spawned unique experiences the likes of Killer7 and Shadows of the Damned though none appeared as overtly sexualized as Grasshopper Manufacture ’s latest featuring a chainsaw-wielding, barely-legal…
Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten2011
5 out of 5 starsIn recent years, JRPGs have fallen away from the mainstream Western market. Nowadays, they serve people whose time and mentality allow for dense experiences wrapped in an anime lining. Many companies are busy trying to identify with North America and Europe, but others are still pushing Japan's wackier sensibilities, unfazed by the declining demand. NISA and Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten fall into the latter…
Deathsmiles2007
4 out of 5 starsWhen classic shoot ‘em ups like Ikaruga and new, HD titles like Söldner-X 2: Final Prototype are sold for cheap via download services, a $50 retail product such as Deathsmiles becomes a questionable purchase. If one were to judge solely on playtime, they’d see a game that lasts 20 minutes. Calling that a pittance isn’t an exaggeration; it’s fact. In most shoot ‘em ups, the underlying value comes from challenge and…
Operation Creature Feature2007
1 out of 5 starsNothing interesting came out this week in terms of video game releases and, as a result, I decided to dig through the bowels of my collection to find something horrible to play. I’m not a masochist by any stretch of the imagination, but I figured that reviewing a bad game would be humorous for anyone who frequently reads my reviews. Therefore, I fished out my PlayStation Eye, a camera peripheral for the PlayStation…

Feb 19, 2012
Your tidal wave of blah blah blah. EDIT: The site's posting functionality continues to lay the hate, so you can get the raw MP3 file here . Two former community podcasts merge together and try to get back into the podcasting game! I can't really say much for the quality since it's been a while, but we had fun recording this madness and hope you'll have just as much fun listening to it. To give...
I Will Probably Never Finish... Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life
Aug 29, 2011
As a child, it was easy for me to keep my gaming backlog virtually nonexistent. Games were somewhat rare items, since my parents only bought them for my siblings and I when it was either our birthday or when our report cards were in top form. Otherwise, rentals at the local Blockbuster were there to satisfy minor cravings. One such rental was Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life , the Gamecube 's fir...
Finishing Eternal Sonata: Raindrops (Part 1)
Feb 14, 2011
I hate segmenting this thing into two parts, but I need to relinquish my internet connection soon and I've reached a good stopping point. :) The Bread Basket (i.e. Not the main course. Get it!?) Eternal Sonata is so far from my mind right now. Come on, I can make it through! It'll be a while. After an entire week I could’ve spent playing Eternal Sonata , I came away from these past seven days o...
Finishing Eternal Sonata: The Preemptive Post
Feb 7, 2011
TL;DR: Fuck you, just read it. It’s not you, it’s me. Yo, this game has flowers. I will not say this game is better than Eternal Sonata but... Yeah, I'll just leave it at that. We cool? Out of all the JRPGs I’ve ever played, none of them have been more hotly contested than Eternal Sonata —and it’s because I make my seething hatred known whenever it’s brought up in conversation. Ever since its o...
Naked Cartoon Podcast #6: Japanese Finger
Jul 19, 2010
In the span of four days, we managed to pull our shit together and get right back on schedule by consistently posting these things inconsistently. But hey, we're putting this up on a Monday and, if it frees up the anguish of editing for the rest of week, I'm all for it. As the name of episode implies, we get ever closer to actually having a thought-provoking discussion about naked cartoons. How...
Naked Cartoon Podcast #5: Vince Strikes Back
Jul 15, 2010
Apologies for the late podcast and lack of detailed show notes! Corrupted audio and a stubborn HEX editor results in such delays! We'll be back to our normal schedule as soon as possible. VinceNotVance rejoins the normal NCP Crew after a few weeks of hiatus! This week's discussion revolve around Vince's drunken adventures in England while Wendy's, internet privacy, Crispy M&Ms and 3D movies mak...
