Preview: Saints Row IV (PC)
Saints Row started its life as something of a lighter-hearted Grand Theft Auto clone that knew how much fun it was to go buck wild in a living city, but still had something of a serious undertone to it. Time has almost completely tossed aside that serious undertone, however; while the later games do hold…

E3 2013 Impressions: Ys: Memories of Celceta, Ragnarok Odyssey ACE, & Valhalla Knights 3 (Sony PlayStation Vita)
While it may not be fair to say that the Vita is on life support at this time, there certainly aren’t enough quality titles being released to the platform with any regularity. Fortunately, XSEED happens to be one of the few publishers willing to throw full support behind it and as a result, there are…

E3 2013 Impressions: Killer is Dead (Microsoft Xbox 360/Sony PlayStation 3)
Let’s just get this out of the way right from the get go: Killer is Dead is probably one of the more unusual titles that I’ve played at E3. And why wouldn’t it be? The game is another product of the minds of Suda 51 and Grasshopper Manufacture. Yet, it still found ways to push…

E3 2013 Impressions: Crimson Dragon (Microsoft Xbox One)
Despite the fact that I’m not too keen on games getting the Kinect exclusive treatment (because let’s face it, what games besides Dance Central have benefited from it?), I was still excited for Crimson Dragon when it was announced for the Xbox Live Arcade. I’m a big fan of the Panzer Dragoon series, so I…
-
E3 2013 Impressions: BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma (Sony PlayStation 3)
Since my fighting game experience is rather limited, my opinion on the mechanics of the latest BlazBlue is not likely to mean much. Adding to that is the fact that my only exposure with the BlazBlue franchise has been with the original Xbox 360 release. That being said, I can discuss some of the new…

Book Review: Tales of the Ninth World (Numenera)
Tales of the Ninth World Publisher: Monte Cook Games Page Count: 83 Cost: $2.99 Release Date: 06/20/2013 Get it Here: DrivethruRPG.com I passed on the Numenera Kickstarter when it occurred because just had too many other crowfunding programs I was backing at the time, but trust me when I say I’ve been regretting it ever…

E3 2013 Impressions: The Guided Fate Paradox (Sony PlayStation 3)
I didn’t realize before E3 that I’d have a chance to take a look at another Disgaea title… until I realized that it was actually The Guided Fate Paradox. This latest NIS release should appeal to fans of Z.H.P.: Unlosing Ranger Vs. Darkdeath Evilman on the PSP as it is roguelike in the same vein…

E3 2013 Impressions: Mystic Chronicles (Sony PlayStation Portable)
Just when you thought the PSP was a dead platform, along comes Kemco and Natsume to prove you wrong. And they bring with them a turn-based RPG to boot. Considering that RPG’s are one of the main reasons I played (and continue to play) my PSP in the first place, I was all ears. Not…

E3 2013 Impressions: Young Justice: Legacy (Sony PlayStation 3/Microsoft Xbox 360/Nintendo 3DS/Wii U/PC)
While I’ve never actually seen the Young Justice TV show myself, it certainly does have a promising premise. Those familiar with the DC universe of comics will recognize Young Justice as something of a younger version of the Justice League (hence the name), with characters that are mentored by some of the more established heroes…

E3 2013 Impressions: Hometown Story (Nintendo 3DS/iOS)
When you think of Natsume, the first game that may come to mind is the Harvest Moon series. By that extension, titles such as Rune Factory that were spun from that formula might also get a mention. Well, at E3 this year, Natsume were showing off a brand new IP by the name of Hometown…

E3 2013 Impressions: Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness (Sony PlayStation 3)
Of all of the Disgaea games that have come out over the years, Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness is the one that I’m anticipating the most. While all of the games that have come out since the original have improved upon the mechanics, the first Disgaea is still home to one of my favorite plots…
