I played a mid One Piece game just so I could talk about One Piece.
July 14th, 2022 That was the date I began reading One Piece in full since the anime premiered in America back in 2004. One Piece is an action Shonen manga written and illustrated by Eichiro Oda. Originally published in the July 13th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997, it has gone on to be […]

Review: Street Fighter Alpha 3-It All Depends On Your Port
I’m running out of intros for these Street Fighter reviews, man. I know I’ve been gone for over 6 months but I don’t know what do you want from me? I didn’t grow up with Street Fighter Alpha 3. The only reason I have any prior experience with this game is because of M.U.G.E.N, a […]

Review: Street Fighter III New Generation/Second Impact- Rolling With The Punches
To say that Street Fighter II changed video games would be a massive understatement. It gave way to a sea of imitators and practically birthed an entire genre overnight. The game did unbelievably well but left many die-hard fans asking one thing. “Where is Street Fighter III?” Sure, they got mountains of revisions and ports, and even the Street […]

Review: POSTAL III-…..oh…
I knew this game was going to be bad. I knew this game was going to be unpleasant. I was fully aware of this game’s bad reputation going into it, and yet I still played it. I wanted to be a “completist” and experience the POSTAL franchise to its fullest. I wanted to play something […]

Review: Killer7-Beauty In Violence
If you’ve been visiting for a while now, you may have noticed that I haven’t been posting much as of late. Part of it is simply because I burned out HARD at the beginning of the year and wanted a genuine break, but also because I’ve begun reevaluating how I want to approach my writing. […]

Review: Duke Nukem Forever-The Five Stages Of Grief
2011: The Year of the Gamer. A lot of great games came out that year, games that I would consider personal favorites. That year, I pre-ordered the collector’s editions for both Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Mortal Kombat (2011), two of my favorite fighting games of all time. I paid for MvC3 myself but my […]

Review: Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors’ Dreams/Street Fighter Alpha 2-Beta Testing The Future
I will admit right here and now that I did not grow up with these games. I never had the home ports growing up and none of the arcades near me carried the machines, choosing to keep games like Mortal Kombat or the Vs. games. Around the time I was 12 or 13, I grew […]

Review: Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time-Wonderfully Nostalgic Torture
Yes, yes, I know I’m a few months late on this one but I couldn’t get it at launch! Sue me. The day is June 19, 2019. At the time, I just finished writing my review for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled and was getting ready to post it. Then literally, no joke, as I was about to […]

Review: Yakuza: Like a Dragon- When One Dragon Fades, Another Rises.
Back in 2015 when I was still a bright-eyed, innocent 21-year-old with too much time on my hands, I gained my first exposure to Sega’s Yakuza franchise with the release of Yakuza 5. I had only seen the cover arts for the first and third games before that and even then it wasn’t a strong […]

Review: Hades-Every Death Means Something
If there’s one thing I love about the internet, it’s seeing what does and doesn’t become viral, especially with video games. You could have this giant, expensive ass game with a ton of marketing behind it completely bomb and attain disinterest while a smaller, much more artistically driven indie game gets pushed to the moon by players […]
