Review: Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed (Sony Playstation Vita)
Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed Genre: Action Developer: Tamsoft Publisher: Idea Factory Release Date: 05/19/15 Let’s get this out of the way up front: Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed isn’t a Hyperdimension game in the same sense as the core games.

Review: Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures (Nintendo Wii U)
Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures Developer: FreakZone Games Publisher: ScrewAttack games Genre: Adventure/Action (read as: platformer) Release Date: 4/2/2015 At its core, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures would seem to be critic proof.

That…
