What happens when an orca is accused of murder? In our world it might simply get put down, depending on the circumstances, but in the world of Ace Attorney there's always more to the case than that. Thus, it's a no-brainer that Phoenix Wright and …Read more »
It is a testament to exactly how popular Dragon Ball videogames are that the franchise can house multiple distinct series, each by a different small developer, that cover the same material in the same genre (fighting), usually in the exact same format. Dimps has one, …Read more »
When I look back to my method of choosing games growing up—either with the questionable wisdom of Nintendo Power or the timeless strategy of finding the coolest cover art—I really feel for the kids of today. Licensed games have always been a thing, but at …Read more »
I'm so torn on Namco Bandai's Naruto Powerful Shippuden , which brings the super-deformed style of Naruto spin-off anime Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals to Nintendo 3DS. On one hand, it's a great-looking game with crystal clear 2D art and backgrounds that don't throw …Read more »
There comes a time in a man's, or woman's, life in which one must step out of the shadow of his, or her, forerunners. Today is that time for our fair Giana. It was only about a year ago that Otaku USA took a look …Read more »
Square Enix’s mobile gaming division has been the subject of much scorn from press and players alike, primarily for their absurd pricing schemes. It’s hard to justify spending $20-ish for arguably inferior ports of DS titles like Final Fantasy III or The World Ends with …Read more »
My heart goes out to all videogame-loving Gundam fans, constantly strung along with false promises and solidly mediocre games. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not that Gundam videogames are inherently bad – the sheer number released has guaranteed that at least some are pretty …Read more »
On Saturday, December 8, 2012, Cartoon Network premiered the 15th Pokémon movie, Pokémon the Movie: Kyurem vs. the Sword of Justice . There was no theatrical showing this year, as there was for last year’s movie, Pokémon the Movie White: Victini and Zekrom , which …Read more »
DmC: Devil May Cry has been under fire from the moment it was first announced along with images of Dante's revamped look. If one were to generate a word cloud based on descriptions of the antagonist, it wouldn't have much variety, and "emo" or something …Read more »
Sitting in a theatre full of people wearing 3D glasses, watching stock characters spouting clunky dialogue with the most wooden delivery imaginable, while a nonsensical jumble of third rate science fiction/war movie/zombie horror clichés simply occurs at you with merciless disregard for motivation, plot development …Read more »
Terry Cavanagh is a pretty slick game developer. Some of you may have experienced his work in VVVVVV , a sly Metroidvania-style platformer with a simple but stylish look and some amazing tunes. Now Cavanagh is back with his first iPhone/iPad game, Super Hexagon , …Read more »
When New Super Mario Bros. first came out for Nintendo DS, the concept of having a brand new 2D Mario game was refreshing. While the quality of its aesthetic is up for debate, and not all the new ideas meshed together quite so well, it …Read more »
Transformers: War For Cybertron set a fantastic precedent for what could end up as the absolute standard for all future Transformers games. Its frenetic combat, willingness to adhere strictly to the 'bots we loved as children, and explosive campaign acted as benchmarks for how developers …Read more »
When I first heard of Spelunky it was via friends who were hopelessly addicted to Derek Yu's original PC release of the throwback platformer. Winds carried seemingly impossible tales of some who had plunked down hundreds of hours, and toward what? An action-adventure game with …Read more »
Most reviews of Capcom's Devil May Cry HD Collection should read pretty similarly. Devil May Cry and Devil May Cry 3 get the majority of the coverage while the borderline putrid Devil May Cry 2 gets swept under the rug. It's the big, blood-drenched elephant …Read more »
