Review by Nick H. The decision to keep the Xbox One at at higher price tag in order to include the Kinect 2.0 with the system was a controversial point for Microsoft. On the one hand, it makes sense that Microsoft would want to ensure that this device, which it…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Of the many HD remakes we’ve seen this generation this one I don’t quite get, though I’m certainly not complaining of its existence. While Soulcalibur 2 is arguably the finest game in the franchise, it’s impossible to argue that the current generation’s Soulcalibur 5 is a…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Exhibit A: Dead or Alive. A game that features rather lovely ladies (and men, but no one really pays any attention to them, do they?) wearing rather… lovely… costumes beating the living bejeebus out of one another. Dead or Alive is a popular franchise. I get…

Read MoreAnime girls with super-powers knocking each other around arenas? What could possibly go wrong?! Well, quite a bit actually; as I recently found out when I sat down to play Clash of Elementalists from Teyon. I had absolutely no idea what to expect from the game, but the name actually…
Read MoreEvery so often I have to admit that I get a review wrong. When I reviewed Dead or Alive 5 on the PlayStation 3, I’d plugged about 30 hours into it, and while I enjoyed it, it didn’t quite hook into me like I wanted it to. But this was…
Read MoreJust as Capcom’s Street Fighter 4 made the jump, a mobile version of Street Fighter x Tekken is on the way to iPhones soon. There’s really nothing to report as to details just yet (so don’t get too excited) as Capcom has only produced a handful of screens and a…
Read MoreGirl Fight is the all-female fighting game coming down the pike for XBLA and the PSN. It’s newest combatant is Ghost, who’s not so much spirit as she is nimble and handy with dual ’45s.Ghost serves as the speediest member of the Girl Fight cast and wears an outfit that’s…
