Fairy Tail 2 (PlayStation 5) Review

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 06 Feb 2025 16:00:39 +0000

Game adaptations for anime are sometimes hit or miss for me. Depending on the anime, I feel like certain adaptations are just overdone. Dragon Ball Z does well, as does One Piece, but a lot are half-baked attempts to capture the source material. In 2024, Fairy Tail had a big year with both Fairy Tail Dungeons and Fairy Tail 2. Fairy Tail 2 is an RPG developed by Gust and published by Koei Tecmo.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins (Xbox Series X) Review

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 18:00:32 +0000

One of my favorite game franchises of the PS2 era, Dynasty Warriors, gets a lot of flack from the larger gaming community. It’s a button masher; you’re facing mostly hordes of helpless enemies, and you’re simply spamming until you can hit a single button and kill hundreds of people at a time. Exactly, that’s why it’s wonderful. The story of the Three Kingdoms era is told through the series…

Wo Long and Lies of P Collab DLC Available now

Keiran McEwen — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 14:00:20 +0000

Out of the Souls-likes from last year, I initially didn’t play many of them for one reason or another. In terms of Lies of P, it was the fact the PR people sent a PS5 code when asked for a PC one, which resulted in Alexx doing the review and hating it. For some reason, I never really got the hype for Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty. It looks nice but just doesn’t have the spark for me. Since our break in…

Fate/Samurai Remnant (Nintendo Switch) Review

Taylor Bauer — Thu, 26 Oct 2023 15:00:12 +0000

It doesn’t take much to get me to try a video game. If it looks even slightly pleasing to the eye, I’ll give it a shot. Develop enough games up my alley and I’ll try things blindly. Having not experienced much of the Fate series, Koei Tecmo’s name attached to this new release sold me on it immediately. The Fate franchise spans visual novels, manga, and now, a Dynasty Warriors-style game that might…

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 Remake Coming in 2024

Taylor Bauer — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 15:00:49 +0000

Released in 2001, Romance of the Three Kingdoms 8 was a relatively big hit in Japan on the PlayStation 2 and PSP. Released in the U.S. a few years later, it appeased fans of the franchise but failed to make a huge splash. In recent years, however, particularly thanks to the recent release of the ninth entry in 2020, Koei Tecmo Games has seen an uptick in interest and has decided to launch a remake…

Wild Hearts (PS5) Review

Mike Reitemeier — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 18:00:59 +0000

Monster Hunter has seen a bevy of imitators, but none have managed to dethrone the legendary series. With Monster Hunter: World being one of Capcom’s best-selling games of all time, topping the likes of Resident Evil 4 and any Mega Man, the demand to hunt beasts is higher than one may expect. Electronic Arts took note and created Wild Hearts, aiming to capture the same intense combat and world…

Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher (Switch) Review

Taylor Bauer — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 19:00:04 +0000

I’m not the world’s biggest Ultraman fan, but I love kaiju media. The old Godzilla films hold a special place in my heart after plenty of holidays spent growing up and watching them with my uncle and cousins. The Ultraman tokusatsu is widely beloved across the world and makes for an incredible collaboration with the Monster Rancher franchise in Bandai Namco’s new Ultra Kaiju Monster Rancher…

Ultra Kaiju: Monster Rancher gets Release Date

Edward Harding — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 15:00:27 +0000

Monster Rancher is one of the many video game series that was created in the hope of capitalizing on the success of Pokémon. Despite a loyal fanbase, Monster Rancher never achieved the same level of success, and the latest game in the franchise was released over 10 years ago. I never had the pleasure of playing the original games myself and only heard about the series through the internet.
