Video by Matt S. It’s getting closer and closer to the full release of Dead or Alive 6! I’m so very excited for this one, as I’ve been waiting for a new entry in the series for quite some time now. A little over a month out, and I’ve finally…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. On the one hand, Fight of Gods his hilarious. The very idea of pitting Jesus Christ against Buddha, or Santa Claus (hilariously the “God of capitalism”) against Amaterasu, Shinto’s highest goddess, is such nonsense, and the game knows it, and runs with it. Sadly, on the…

Read MoreNews by Matt S. BlazBlue: Central Fiction Special Edition is, as the name suggests, a “special edition” of the base BlazBlue: Central Fiction title.

Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s been a long time since my last “new” Soulcalibur title. I was a big fan of Soulcalibur 2 in both the arcades and on my GameCube, and I did enjoy the HD remaster of that on PlayStation 3. Otherwise, though, I’ve largely skipped this series.…
