Watch Dogs Legions Review

  Watch Dogs Legions Review When the first Watch Dogs came out to a mixed critical reception but massive financial success, it was obvious it was going to get a sequel. Watch Dogs 2 fixed a lot of the problems with the original game by creating more interesting characters and scenarios. Now Ubisoft is trying the hackathon again with their newest entry Watch Dogs Legions. The newest entry is the most ambitious one yet but is it any good? Well, I have written this review for you to check it out! At the moment Watch Dogs Legions is a few months old and I think a lot of people have forgotten it. So, to sort of spice up my ‘late to the party’ review, I am going to review the game then compare it to a game I think it should have taken more inspiration from, and then outline the direction in which the series should step. That way it is a bit more fun than simply a ‘hey, read my very late review to a game that is a couple of months old now’. The big new addition to Watch Dogs Legions...

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore Review

  Tokyo Mirage Sessions is this bizarre combination of J-Pop, Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei. The fact it exists at all is minor miracle and it is quite unlike any JRPG I have ever played. It is completely amazing and insane and there is this weird sense of humour and awareness not seen in most RPGs. The premise is absolutely crazy; you play as Itski, a high schooler who signs up to an idol agency called Fotuna Entertainment. It turns out though that the agency is just a front, and their real goals are to fight of these evil spirits. You see, a bunch of otherworldly incidents have been happening in Tokyo.

This causes them to go crazy so the idols, employed by Fortuna Entertainment, need to enter the demon world, fight their way through a dungeon and defeat a boss to save the day. It is kind of like the Persona series, except instead of personas the ido...

Nintendo at Hyper Japan London 2014

Today I had the chance to embrace Hyper Japan. The main reason I wanted to go to Hyper Japan was quite simply Smash Bros. Nintendo where attending and for that reason I really wanted to go to test out some of these games from E3 I was so pumped about, and the best bit is they did not disappoint. I had the chance to play Hyrule Warriors, and as that one is coming out first I will talk about it first. I played the demo as Zelda and it play exactly like you would want it to. Hyrule Warriors provides fast paced action. There is loads of nice animations and good attention to detail everywhere. Special attacks which do lots of damage charge up quickly so will be unleashed many times. All though that could cause a problem with repetition they looked absolutely awesome and I am sure it won't bother me on release. The B button is used to do a short teleport to counter enemies. Its fits this game well, it works just like the Star Wars the Force Unleashed when the apprentice uses a short co...
