A tale of Souls and Swords, eternally retold….

Welcome back to the stage of history!

The next entry in the Soul series is here. After a rather mediocre third installment and surprise guest stars from everyone’s favorite galaxy far, far away, has Soulcalibur IV found its way back to the ever-elusive Good Sequel Bay, or is this another crash landing on Bad Game Rock?

(This review is based on the Xbox 360 version. PS3 users’ mileage may vary.)

Rhythm Tengoku Gold: ADD Music On The Go

rtg_box

What’s better than listening to music on your MP3 player of choice when on the bus/on the train/at some place that makes you sit still? Playing music on a DS in a way that makes people look at you funny, probably moreso than using two styluses to beat a Japanese Taiko drum. Rhythm Tengoku Gold is the sequel to the 2006 cult hit (aptly named Rhythm Tengoku) for Gameboy Advance. Now that the second incarnation is surfacing in stores, we’re here to tell you whether or not it’s worth the 3990 yen asking price.

Review: The World Ends With You

image

TWEWY is a bold game that has a lot of things to say about the JRPG, and I for one hope that the industry listens. In one fell swoop, it has changed the possible topography of the genre by giving the player an unprecedented amount of choice. However, this isn’t the Morrowind-style sense of freedom that includes a large world and nonlinear storyline.

Review: Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness - Episode One

Penny Arcade’s creators, Tycho and Gabe, claim that nowadays they see PA as more of a franchise than a webcomic. Never has this been more apparent than in Hothead Games’ Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, a godsend to children of the ’90s that spent their days with point-and-click adventures and turn-based console RPGs. While it’s short, and the bosses are somewhat cheap, $20 is a perfectly fair asking price for PA’s first video game.

DD review - Super mario galaxy

This game isn’t brand brand new, but I’ve decided to review it. Not everybody buys video games on the day of their release and plus - if I wanna review a game I’m gonna do so dammit!

Tales of Phantasia THE ANIMATION - An Overall Review -

Tales_Of_Phantasia_Art_05pe.jpg

Hey, hey, hey! Missed me, fellow DDN-reading people? I’m back again with another one of my anime reviews. Some of you may concur, some others will lift their clenched fists in disapproval, but nevertheless we’ll get to remember (or meet) great, awful, bizarre, and even moe anime from great Japan.

This time, one OVA of one of the best RPG sagas out there, makes its DDN debut: Tales of Phantasia. Still, even though the games are great, sometimes franchise expansion goes somewhat unplanned. . .

Vandread - Overall Review -

Well, hello there! Long time no see, anime review! I plan to get you up to date more often from now on!

*Ahem*…I didn’t think I would almost forget one awesome series that made me have some affection for Mecha series (I watched the first 2 eps of Gundam Wing. . .sorry). Along with pretty catchy electronic music and rememberable characters(well. . . kinda), this anime has a pretty interesting plot. Come and see why you should watch it!

Episode 4: Futu-risk

Episode 4 doesn’t bring us much in revelations or shock-value but it lays the ground for a thicker plot. Real investigates Vincent’s apartment after the scape incident, she makes remarks about the apartment being to synthetic and in perfect order; among Vincent’s things she finds a map of Romdeau with the route that all cogito infected autoraves follow. Meanwhile Vincent hallucinates about the recent events but with a guilt twist to the events.
