  • Prepare For The Battle, Prepare For The War

    Whenever I play a fighter now, I do the same comparison, every time, without fail.

  • I Remember When This Was All Fields

    I now have a games collection which is predominantly virtual. Being a PC gamer, I’m used to buying from Steam – I have been for almost a decade. I signed up for my Steam account late in 2002 and I have a four digit account, which according to Steam aficionados is a big deal, it…

    Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus is the 10th or 16th game released in the Guilty Gear franchise, depending on how you are looking at it. If you are looking at it on console releases as a fighter, it’s the 10th. If you are looking at it as a collection in the Guilty Gear universe…

  • Two Years Is A Long Time

    It’s not odd in any way to say to someone, “No, I don’t like that game”. That’s always the case with most types of games. There would appear to be one exception, Fighters. If you’re a Street Fighter player and a new fighting game comes out and people ask you if you’re going to get…

  • Top Spin 4

    Top Spin 4 is a tennis simulator from 2K Sports, that is available on the Xbox 360, Wii and PS3. The reason why I say that it’s a simulator and not a game is because it feels as if you’re actually learning to play tennis while you’re going through the tutorial. The tutorial, which lasted a…

  • Hey Look! It’s A Car!

    When you look at a car, you know instantly, it’s a car. However, let’s look at two particular cars, one being the ever reliable Volkswagen camper. It’s been around for a while but every time you see one it’s been customised in some way. And the seats aren’t as comfortable as they used to be,…

  • An Answer To The Question We All Hate

    It’s perfect. The length is just right. It doesn’t cost too much. It’s funny enough to keep it enjoyable the whole way through. The difficulty is just right. The characters are excellent and the story mode keeps you interested right up until the end. Given the amount of games you have played in your life, how many…
