Gundam SEED Battle Destiny Receives Localization

Edward Harding — Mon, 17 Feb 2025 16:00:41 +0000

It’s always a treat when games are made more readily accessible to wider audiences. As someone who has recently been diving into the universe of Mobile Suit Gundam, I was happy to see this week that Bandai Namco announced a localization for Gundam SEED Battle Destiny. This title was originally released in 2012 on the Playstation Vita exclusively in Japan. Now the game has received not only a…

New Expansion Coming to Age of Mythology: Retold

Edward Harding — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 16:00:24 +0000

One of my favorite things to come out last year was the return of Age of Mythology. This series has always been one of my favorites and I’m glad to see Microsoft continuing to support the game post-launch. The Immortal Pillars expansion will add the Chinese pantheon to the playable roster of civilizations. This culture was the last to come to the original game and I’m happy to see it returning…

Heroes of Newerth Reborn Announced

Edward Harding — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 16:00:52 +0000

Heroes of Newerth was one of the many games released during the initial MOBA boom of the late 2000s coming onto the scene in 2010. Unfortunately, the game never managed to compete with the longevity of the biggest competitors League of Legends and Dota 2 and the original servers shut down in 2022. However, it seems that the original developers at S2 Games are back once again under a new banner.

Marvel Rivals Needs These Characters

Edward Harding — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 18:00:21 +0000

Recently I’ve been playing a lot of Marvel Rivals and it has once again rekindled my love for the characters and storylines I grew up reading about. While the main roster for the game is incredibly solid, it’s always fun to speculate on who would make a great addition in the future. Now there have been some statements and leaks from the development team providing strong evidence for characters who…

Terminator Zero (TV Series) Review

Edward Harding — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 18:00:27 +0000

I had originally meant to review this show on release earlier in 2024, but it wasn’t meant to be. I didn’t get around to watching the series until a few weeks ago. I’ll admit I’m not the most well-educated on the Terminator franchise as of yet, I’ve not seen all the films but the first two I enjoy quite a bit. As action films go, the series is certainly ambitious, handles many powerful themes…

Capcom Franchises That Need To Return

Edward Harding — Thu, 09 Jan 2025 14:00:08 +0000

This year’s Game Awards brought a huge amount of exciting announcements. For me, the highlights included the upcoming sequel to Okami as well as a new Onimusha title. This past year also saw the release of a long-awaited Dragon’s Dogma sequel. I have no doubt the return of these forgotten gems is due to the great success of recent Capcom titles like Street Fighter 6, Monster Hunter…

Linkin Park – From Zero (Album) Review

Edward Harding — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 16:00:43 +0000

Linkin Park for me like many others was a foundational band. It shaped my youth and my taste in music for the rest of my life. I consider the first two albums to be the definitive soundtrack of the early 2000s and the inception of the entire nu-metal genre. In recent years leading up to the unfortunate passing of lead vocalist Chester Bennington in 2017, the band has strayed heavily away from the…

Fantasian: Neo Dimension Available Now

Edward Harding — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 16:00:32 +0000

It is rare that a Square Enix game flies under my radar, especially one boasting the creative duo behind Final Fantasy: Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu as lead designer and composer respectively. Fantasian was originally released exclusively for the Apple Arcade back in 2021. Now this week Square Enix has saw fit to make the game available for a wider audience by releasing the game for both…

Pokémon TCG Pocket is Worth Your Time

Edward Harding — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 16:00:16 +0000

When Nintendo announced Pokémon TCG Pocket, I was expecting to interact with the game quite casually, only logging in to collect a few cards for free each day. I’ve never been a big fan of the physical Pokémon TCG, as although the gameplay does a good job replicating the simplicity of the video games – it makes for a rather dull card game with a variety of core design issues. Like Magic: The…

A new Monster Hunter title was announced

Edward Harding — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 16:00:09 +0000

Yesterday, Capcom announced an interesting spin-off title for the Monster Hunter series. Monster Hunter: Outlanders is a brand new title in the action RPG series and in development for mobile devices. While this may immediately turn some hardcore fans away, the actual game sounds somewhat promising. Outlanders‘ development is led by TiMi Studio Group, a division of Tencent Games with the game…
