S.H. Figuarts – Sailor Moon

Someone at Bandai must have realized that there is a lot of easy reuse potential in a highly desired show like Sailor Moon or something, because there has been a slew of releases in the Figuarts line for this popular anime in recent years.  Sailor Moon is definitely one of the most well known classic anime properties.   It seems to have opened up the gates a bit for other older titles.  We've been getting figures from Ranma 1/2 as well.  It makes me wonder how long until they start doing Figuarts of Tenchi characters, another popular title from that era…

Review – Beyond: Two Souls (PS3)

2013 - Quantic Dream - 1 Player (ish) The Good Interesting and ambition idea and gameplay. Impressive graphics. Lots of choices that shape the story a bit. The Bad Convoluted story that doesn't leave a ton of questions but it's super great. Many Sequences are completely pointless and superfluous to the plot. The game's gimmick is neat but leaves a lot to be desired with it's limitations. tl;dr Sterilized Version Beyond: Two Souls is an interesting narrative game from Quantic Dream and David Cage that is similar to their previous titles such as Heavy Rain and Farenheit. It's much less…

Review – Star Wars – Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

I'm going to cut to the chase here a bit.  I enjoyed it.  I have been more excited for this movie than I am for Episode 8, especially after how patronizingly fanservicy Episode 7 ended up being.  There are some dodgy bits, especially during the middle act, but it's decent overall. What Rogue One does the best, is being a good movie set in the Star Wars Universe.  Ok, sure, that's what it is.  I get that.  What I mean though is, it's not part of the "Main Saga".  It's a side story, like other classics such as The Ewok…

Review – Shadow Complex (PC, PS4, Xbox One)

2009, 2015 - Chair - 1 Player The Good Metroidvania games are pretty much awesome by default. Interesting use of 2D and 3D Fun gameplay and puzzles The Bad Not a lot of enemy variety. Controls can be frustrating at times Bosses are kind of a joke tl;dr Review I, like many others I gather, often have a pile of games from bundles that never end up getting played.  Recently Shadow Complex appeared in a Humble Bundle and came recommended, so I opted to actually give it a shot.  I was really surprised just how good it ended up being.…

Review – Marvel Legends – Juggernaut Wave – Kitty Pryde

Spider-man somehow gets a wave every other wave, completed with six out of eight figures being new Spider People.  Captain America gets a new figure every wave and Iron Man every other wave.  Somehow, the X-men, arguably Marvel's most popular property, only warrants one wave a year, if they are lucky.  The last wave was the Jubilee BAF wave too, which is one of the worst disasters is crummy distribution in the history of the line making it extremely pricey on the secondary market.  Fortunately the Juggernaut wave seems to be a little easier to get a hold of.  It's…
