ActRaiser
March 29th, 2012 
gunsage General Overview Usually when you throw several genres together, it just doesn’t work, especially when you’re dealing with older titles. ActRaiser is a shining example of how it CAN work, however, throwing a qualified action game very similar to that of the Castlevania games into the mix of a God sim whereupon you also level […]
Shin Megami Tensei – Devil Survivor
March 27th, 2012 gunsage General Overview It’s Shin Megami Tensei as an SRPG on a portable. If that doesn’t get you going, consider the fact that there’s an interesting time mechanic, it’s based around survival, and you can change peoples’ fates. Still not enough? How about the fact that it has excellent music, visuals, difficulty, demon auctions, and a […]

Epiphany – Shitty Sequels
February 12th, 2012 gunsage When I heard there was going to be a new Shadowrun game, I was stoked.

1 Comment »Under the Scope – Stealth in Videogames
February 5th, 2012 gunsage For me, stealth is a very mixed bag. I really appreciate games that allow you to use stealth, but don’t completely shove it down your throat with unnecessary and unforgiving trial and error sequences. The early Splinter Cell games were a perfect example of this in action. It’s very hard to get stealth “right,” especially […]

5 Things I Hate About Skyrim
January 30th, 2012 gunsage Skyrim has hit most gamers’ Game of the Year for 2011, if not their personal top 10 list. In saying that, I must admit it’s one of the finest games I’ve ever played. There are a few problems, however, that could have been ironed out to make the game even more fantastic and unfortunately these […]
The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 5
January 27th, 2012 gunsage Sometimes the mere mentioning that a game had RPG elements was enough to shelf the idea to bring it over. You’re going to see me pulling this excuse a lot because for every Mega Man, Castlevania, TMNT, Mario, Zelda, and whatever title that came out, you’d have a dozen or so RPGs that didn’t quite […]
The Fantastic World Of Japanese Games – Episode 4
January 26th, 2012 gunsage Sometimes a game is deemed “too weird” to come to American soil. This doesn’t happen all the time and usually when it does, it’s for good reason. I mean, I guess so. All three of the games highlighted here definitely have their quirks, but should still definitely have come to America. Sadly, all three are […]
