Sin Has Been Defeated, Let’s Twerk!! – Final Fantasy X-2 HD Screenshots Look Amazing

One thing about going back and replaying classic games from a decade or so ago is that the graphics are rarely as good as you remember them. What’s nice about HD remastered versions of these games however is that you can revisit the memories of playing PS2 games from back in the day (you know, back when you were in your late 20s), without having to deal with blurry textures, spotty frame rates, and muted colors. In the case of [...]

Tomb Raider – Good Game, Horrible Prequel

I think Tomb Raider 2 was the first game I ever played. It was either that or Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, but being the (slightly) less scary of the two, it was Tomb Raider that stuck around. We were a great team, Lara and me, and I’d spend hours sitting on the floor in front of the TV, the cogs and gears inside my infantile mind ticking away while solving the puzzles. Lara was a pretty great companion for a kid [...]

[News] Final Fantasy X|X-2 — Lulu Had Cornrows All Along?!

All right, this is big, you guys. Seriously. Did anyone know that Lulu actually had cornrows this entire time?! I mean if she didn’t already look intimidating enough, this is just Overkill (So punny). In all seriousness, the high-definition remaster of Final Fantasy X is looking fantastic. While there are still no screenshots of Final Fantasy X-2 in HD yet, if the FFX pictures are any indication, they are also bound to be gorgeous. The revamped graphics really do make a [...]

[Review] Tomb Raider – Not Your Older Brother’s Lara Croft

First it was Dante’s turn to have a complete makeover in DmC: Devil May Cry. This time, Lara Croft is back, and better than ever in this 2013 reboot of the classic series Tomb Raider.  I’ll be the first to admit, I never had a chance to check out Lara in her classic garb, but the latest effort from Crystal Dynamics left me nothing short of impressed. It’s a cinematic, puzzle filled, gruesome, adventurous tale of one of the most incredible female protagonists I’ve had [...]

[News] Bravely Default: Flying Fairy Might Be Flying Overseas

From Square-Enix and Silicon Studio, the makers of 3D Dot Game Heroes, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy hit Japanese shelves back in October 2012. For years, fans of the JRPG genre have been anticipating a game on par with old-school Final Fantasy games. There have been a few that have been very well received, such as Ni No Kuni and Lost Odyssey, but those are far and few between. Bravely Default: Flying Fairy actually began production as a sequel to the [...]

[LTTP Review] Hitman: Absolution – Garrotes, Collars, and Dual Silverballers

One of my favorite things to do in a video game is to just stop and look around; observing the habits and routines of NPCs, seeing what items in the world can be manipulated, and testing the boundaries of what I am allowed to do as player and character. The Hitman series has long been the gold standard for this type of gameplay, culminating in the stellar 2006 installment Blood Money. Well, after a long hiatus, Agent 47 is finally [...]

[Rant] Yes, We Know You Want Versus XIII

It would be a challenge to find a gamer who legitimately hates Final Fantasy VII, however, ask nearly any fan what their opinion of the newest installments is and you’ll probably get a reaction of utter disdain. Now I have not played every single entry, but I have played most of them between IV and XIII-2, and I see people completely brush off the newest games with barely batting an eyelash because of something someone else said. Defending FFXIII is [...]
