The Adventure Time cartoon is known for it’s high quality, great animation, wacky stories and for being a major influence in western animation post 2010. But the series is known for gaming through having a lot of nods toward gaming culture and a number licensed games from WayForward. This studio is famous for it’s work on the Shantae series and made a few games in based on Adventure Time. All of them take influence from Zelda in some fashion. This installment in the series, … Read More

Action games are not a uncommon genre in the realm of gaming. They are diverse and offer a large selection to chose from, ranging from games with hidden depth like Devil May Cry 3 to very simple hack-n’-slash titles like Hyrule Warriors. But one game series should ring a few bells if you own a Vita or 3DS; Senran Kagura.  This series is infamous for it’s ‘plot’, ‘hometown’ and ‘life’ that attracted gamers to the franchise. But the series story and combat were major draws … Read More

Skylanders has been around for quite a few entries now, bringing with it dashing colorful worlds with characters filled with personality, and a controversial figure-dlc system that encourages teens and parents to grab … Read More

Horror games are a genre of gaming that always interested me. They can get under your skin and make you really think about yourself, and see the world around you differently from before. Japanese Horror games like Silent Hill always did a strong job at making you scared all the while pulling the rug under your feet at the worse (best) possible moments. I love horror like that, as it the terror gets inside your head and avoids the normal jump-scare or overly bloody … Read More

The Neptunia series is a trademark franchise for Idea Factory, with it spanning many releases across Sony’s family of consoles over the years. Sony’s PS Vita is no stranger to Neptune and her friends, as the series has many releases since the release of Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection back in 2013. As of now, the series has over seven games, with the series eighth adventure being a cross-over with a SEGA franchise; The SEGA Hard Girls. This title retains many of the role … Read More

Sony is known for producing the large-scale titles like God of War and Uncharted, with the later even gracing the Vita early in it’s life-cycle. But the platform holder is open to more creative ventures and it leads to some really wacky franchises being born. Ranging from you hunting around for monkey’s with a catchers-net in Ape Escape using the analog sticks in creative ways or playing as a puppet who can swap his head to use different abilities in Puppeteer, Sony is known for making some … Read More

Sonic Boom has an infamous history, with the original launch of Rise of Lyric completely overshadowing the release of Sanzaru Games Shattered Crystal for the Nintendo 3DS. Instead of a 3D platformer with brawling elements, Sanzaru decided to take the retro route and go back to the 2D Sonic titles of old. With this design idea, they took the large levels from the Genesis Era Sonic’s but blended it with level design that wouldn’t be out of place in a Metroidvanna title. Focusing on … Read More

Surprised. That is one word I kept thinking in my head as I was playing this title. NIS America’s mature role playing game where you motivate delinquent woman out of Hell does a lot to make the game stand out from the crowd and is releasing in North America October 11th. I shared my thoughts on the early portions of this title before but after playing through this title, I have a lot to say about this title. Criminal Girls … Read More

Dungeon Crawlers are not strangers to the PlayStation Vita, as the genre had a lot of appearances over the years. The heavily polished title Demons Gaze, interest adventure that was Dungeon Travelers 2 and the beautifully animated Ray Gigant all demonstrate the genre being successful on the platform. Idea Factory dives into the Dungeon Crawler genre on the Vita with MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death with some creative battle mechanics, charming story and slick presentation. But does the game offer a fun, polished experience like other DRPG’s on … Read More
