These aren’t shuffling masses of decomposing flesh! These aren’t slow nor or they weak, they don’t act in a herd capacity, these are the worst of the worst. We’ve become obsessed with the undead, zombies, the walking dead, whatever you want to call them, living death and the beings it inhabits fascinate and frighten us […]

As you may know we have covered Final Fantasy VII and X over the last month so this week I am going to take a look at Final Fantasy VIII and some of its tough bosses and other bosses that just simply were incredibly irritating. This game really brings me back to my child hood […]

Titan Souls is a 2D game with 3D elements. It is described as a cross between Dark Souls and Shadow of The Colossus. It is natural to be skeptical of a game that would sell itself with a tagline of combining two previous popular games. The end product in these situations is often nowhere near […]

There’s a joke in here somewhere about Seymour “You mean you want to see less?” Guado. I know you remember him. You would have had to kick his ass at four separate occasions to progress the story of Final Fantasy X, so it’d be difficult not to recall his irritating little voice, perpetually resting bitch face or seriously creeper […]

I stand on a bridge, countless felled behind me and only one remaining ahead as I walk into their very literal claws of the Trayus Academy Core. The winds howl inside the desolate crater, the only other sound being my boots as I pace forward. No minions or bodyguards ambush me, not even an automated […]

If there’s one thing that people can expect with near-perfect consistency from Platinum Games, it’s visually-stunning, over-the-top, balls-to-the-wall ridiculous action that runs on the rule of “if it’s cool, do it”. This stretches all the way back to their beginnings as Clover Studios with the Viewtiful Joe series and God Hand, and they’ve made some […]

It’s one of the most unanimous gaming experiences that our audience have had, I reckon. If ever there’s a company that know how to transcend generations with their franchises, it’s Nintendo, and one of the most enduring and well-loved of those franchises is, of course, Pokémon. Since the debut of Red and Blue Version on our shores in 1999, […]

Every gamer has different preferred tastes, but there is one commonality that all of us share. We all see it as our outlet. It is our chance to take out our frustrations or relax for a short time in a fantasy setting. This has been a truth of the industry since the inception of home […]

If ever there’s a dying art in video games, it’s the scrolling beat ’em up. You, and possibly a friend, if you can enlist any, traverse a set of linear stages filled with nameless foes to be vanquished in stylistically brutal fashion, usually to a rockin’ soundtrack and the backdrop of a world where you’re […]

We are a community of nitpicks, we are very particular about the way our games should play. Rewards are to be showered upon us when we have mastered all the skills required to be an expert, a logical extension of the notion that “The greater effort I put in, the further I will progress”. Frustration in gaming can […]
