Danganronpa - 4

First of all, I want to apologise on how late this review is, and for the lack of pictures. I don't want to spend too long explaining why it is late, so I'll just keep it short – I'm in Spain right now, and my access to the web is limited. So anyway, without further ado, lets dive into the review of the fourth episode of Danganronpa.

Danganronpa - 3

To start off, I'm sorry about this review being late - there weren't any subbed releases out yesterday, so I had to wait until today for one to be released. I don't know why it took an extra day, but I'm not really fussed, because Danganronpa has continued to impress me with its third episode. I'd definitely recommend you watch it, as this entry to the series is as thrilling as it is thought-provoking.

So, this is the classroom trial,. They are locked and loaded - they even have an ultra high FOV!

Uchouten Kazoku (The Eccentric Family) - 2

I'm back to ram this into the ground again. And spoilers - its still as awful as ever. You know when a moment so awful appears before your eyes that you start crying (if you think I'm exaggerating, that literally happened). Not only that, but the main anime I'm watching now is the new Attack on Titan series (mainstream, I know), and coming from the breath-taking artwork and animation (and budget consumption) to this... Its quite underwhelming, to say the least. Don't forget that Uchouten Kazoku is the only new anime (or one of the only, I'm not sure) on Crunchyroll that doesn't have 1080p streams for it. Fantastic.

Listen - we were just too lazy to give the ears any detail. And our silly protagonist is still at it with the feminine costumes.

Shin Megami Tensei IV - Why I'm excited

Shin Megami Tensei IV is an upcoming RPG for the 3DS, made by our friends over at Atlus, the creative minds behind such great titles like Persona 4, Catherine, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 and Trauma Center. Atlus have been driving the hype train behind this game for good reason - its looking incredible, and, they are actually bringing to to Europe. If you own a 3DS, maybe you should pick up Shin Megami Tensei IV, and I want to help you come to that decision. Without further ado, lets dive in.

Danganronpa - 2

Last week, I praised the first episode of Danganronpa, and now I'm back to review the second episode, and the following episodes until series concludes. So, without further ado, lets dive into it.

The episode starts with Makoto, in his room. Monobear announces that everyone has been supplied with weapons, perfectly suitable for murder - fantastic. He is then approached Maizono, who complains about her bedroom door constantly clattering. She then requests a room swap, and Makoto being the soft twerp he is approves of it. After moving to her room, he goes to sleep.

Hey baby, you want to... Stay in my room? ;)

Uchouten Kazoku - 1

Boredom, my enemy. It had returned. It retracted its claws. I turned around, and tried to escape, but this was my inevitable fate. Boredom raced towards me, its claws on fire. It booted me up the backside, and I lay helpless on the floor. Boredom retrieved the katana of its back, and impaled me with it. That is how I felt watching Uchouten Kazoku.

You like mediocrity and boredom, kid? Because we've got sacks of them!

Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist - 1

Jonny here, reviewing the first episode of the new series Makai Ouji: Devils and Realist (I will shorten it to D&R during the review).

Gothic Styled? Devils? Butlers? This is beginning to sound more like Kuroshitsuji by the minute, not to mention this anime doesn't seem to have a single female character as of now. Well, I look forwards to seeing how that'll pan out. Anyway, time to get started on the review.

This anime is set in England, I imagine in the 18th or 19th century. The episode opens up with some woman... Man? Whatever - this man called Solomon, dressed in a white robe, addressing a man called Dantalion, who is meant to be a demon, from what they say. They exchange some dialogue, and then they hug and talk about some contract... I don't understand whats happening, but I should find out later, right? This follows up with a cheesy as balls intro. Its standard, and what you'd expect from an anime intro. Before I move on, I'd just like to talk about the art style. I'm not really a fan of elves or fairies, whether its in anime, games, or movies, but the main reason for this is pointy ears. I don't know why, but I can't stand them. If you don't like characters that have that look, maybe D&R isn't for you.

Nothing going on here...

Danganronpa the Animation – 01

Its Jonny! Reviewing anime? Well... Reviewing Monster Hunter is taking longer than I thought, so I decided to try something a bit different. So here I am, posting a review for the first episode of the new anime series, Danganronpa. Before I start, I just want to note I am kind of inexperienced, so I will evolve my review formula as the series goes on and I gain more experience. Danganronpa is an anime based on a PSP game of the same name that was released a few years ago, exclusively in Japan, so anyway, let's start the review.

So, the show has a strange start. A teddy bear, half white, half black, stands in front of a capsule with a menacing look. There is a man in the capsule, with a blindfold. The capsule then locks up. Its sent up into space... Then falls back down. The capsule re-opens and he's... dead. I can't say I know whats going on, but it seems like its the desired affect.

I spy with my little eye, I see a pedobear...

E3: Jonny's Picks and Discussion

Jonny here. Today, I will be talking about E3.

E3 - easily the most important game conference held. E3 always has ridiculously amounts of hype behind it, for good reasons too. This is where all the big releases are revealed and shown. This year's conference is especially important due to the impending release of the next-gen consoles (Xbox One and PS4). I know every single soul on the planet is staring at the new consoles, but that, as hard as it is to believe, wasn't my main interest. I was keenly watching Nintendo's E3 presentation, where they announced a heap of games and showed a load of trailers. People can say all they want, but I think Nintendo have finally got their act together and the Wii U has an impressive line-up releasing in the near future, and not to forget the overload of great software releasing on the 3DS. I am going to round-up my favourite E3 reveals/content, but just to warn you, this will be a Nintendo focused article. Let's begin.

All aboard the hype train!

Jonny: An Introduction

Hello! I'm Jonny, and I'll be posting game reviews on this blog. You've all probably already seen my Virtue's Last Reward review. My real name is Arthur, but I really have something for the name Jonny. I have no idea what draws me towards it, to be honest.

Virtue's Last Reward - Review

Hello! I'm Jonny, and I will be reviewing games on this blog. Without further ado, lets jump into the first review.

Last year, in February, Virtue's Last Reward came out on the 3DS and PS Vita. Well, that was in Japan - us lot over in Europe didn't get it until November. Virtue's Last Reward is a visual novel, which are quite popular in Japan, but haven't really received much attention in the west. It was the sequel to a DS called 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, which is also a visual novel. Strangely enough, it was a success for Aksys games to localize the game, despite being released over in the west. It received critical acclaim and sold quite decently, even if the plot was a bit bonkers for western tastes.

So, Rising Star (known for publishing games in Europe such a the Harvest Moon and Rune Factory series) decided to port the game over to Europe. Was it worth it? That's a yes. The game was released, earning great reviews (8.5s, 9s, and even some 9.5s), and managed to scoop up some game of the year awards as well while it was at it.



Erm... Okay
