After all the money Final Fantasy 7 made you’d figure Square Enix would continue this story in another video game. A CGI movie sequel, Final Fantasy: Advent Children, came out years later , but that was never good enough for me. That’s a different medium. I want to see a video game sequel. I mean Street Fighter 2 had how many sequels before we saw part 3? Square could have done the same. I think Square dropped the ball on that one. It’s not like it would have been difficult to do. Final Fantasy 7 screamed for a sequel, I thou
While Code Vein might seem to have the market cornered when it comes to anime-tinged Dark Souls knockoffs, that’s just not the case. People are going to keep making these things despite not really understanding why Dark Souls works so well. People are also going to keep putting cherubic anime girls in games because it prints mo
Tekken has been one of the most consistently popular fighting games in the genre. The 3D fighter features beautiful graphics and a huge roster of unique characters to choose from. Save for a few exceptions like Super Smash Bros , fighting games are often very hard for newcomers to come into. There is a ton of information to learn, and it can even be hard just choosing a charac
Borderlands is best played with a keyboard and mouse. It is a first-person shooter that provides stellar accuracy with the keyboard and mouse combination. If it were a fighting or racing game, this discussion wouldn’t be happening in the first pl
The newest installment in SNK’s long-running 2D fighter, The King of Fighters XV was met with a warm reception from fans of the series. Like many of the games before it though, KoF XV is very hard for newcomers. It doesn’t have as big of a player base as Tekken or Super Smash Bros, and thus newcomers will probably be facing players much better than them more frequen
Still, Squad has dedicated servers for new players, and can be a fun experience for newcomers trying their hands at military combat sims. Like many of the listed games, patience is key, and players will probably have to put up with a few toxic people on their path to learning the g
With the beginning of December comes two things: the end of overwhelming amount holiday video game releases and the holidays itself, which effectively means that gamers everywhere will be spending time catching up on their backlog. There are still a handful of games releasing this month, but it is nothing at all like what we’ve seen in October and November and because of this the Game Guide has made a significant change for this edition – we will not only be detailing the games we’ll be playing this month but the ones we’re looking forward to next year as w
However, with this most recent release, it’s easy to wonder – where will the series go next? At first blush, it might seem like the games are exhausting their possibilities when it comes to genre. But have no fear! We’re here with some salient ideas of how Senran Kagura can tap into the hottest industry trends to bring its unique brand of titillating action to an even broader audience! Let’s strip down and get right into
December is the month that bats clean up for gamers, allowing us a chance to catch up on all the titles we missed this year. Among those titles I missed are Skyrim, Skyward Sword, and Battlefield 3 , so I hope to give those a go over the break. On top of that I’m also looking forward to finally procuring a 3DS and trying out Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 . And half-life alyx liquid shader for my family fun I’m looking forward to checking out Scene It? Movie Night . Happy Holidays Rant
Oh, December. The month when I despair of ever playing all of the games I missed during November. The only new game on my radar for the rest of the year is Mario Kart 7 . Otherwise, it’s all about catching-up. Lord of the Rings: War in the North, Forza Motorsport 4, and Kinect Sports Season 2 continue to be the go-to games in my house, but Rayman: Origins and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword top the list of games I can’t wait to get lost in over the holidays. I’m also really liking what I’ve seen of the new SSX — if I could play any of next year’s games right now, that would be the
The title is pretty self-explanatory, as you play an average-joe-turned-freedom-fighter as the Soviet Union vies to ‘liberate’ America. You lead a rag-tag group of citizens through a quest to halt the invasion no matter what the odds – the storyline was great, the level design well-done, and the soundtrack phenomenal and very memora
Players can customize their gaming mouse buttons to intuitively use Mana moves. Most players can get through most of Diablo 3 using only a gaming mouse. The console version of Diablo 3 is playable, but the mouse and keyboard setup is way eas
Scorched skins make the weapon look like it has seen heavy action, which is why, currently, the conditions below Field-Tested are more expensive. However, if you want to get one of the most iconic weapons in gaming, this is a good place to st
