Review by Nick H. The Dragon Ball series makes for some great games. Large casts of distinctive characters, and plenty of fighting, fits in perfectly with what we do in so many games. Love or hate the series, there is no questioning that Dragon Ball has been an influential anime…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. For ardent Dragon Ball Z fans, this latest release will have more than enough fan service to keep them satisfied. However, just focusing on that would be selling Dragon Ball: Xenoverse 2 short, because there is a quality brawling game with some inspired MMORPG elements that…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Project X Zone is not unlike a crossover fanfiction. It tries to pull in lots of different elements and place them in a singular framework. To that end, the sequel gets more things right than the original game, and the end result is a tactical experience…
