Critical opinions about the world of games.
Resident Evil’s lore has gotten to the point of sheer absurdity after so many years and even more in games, so it feels good to think back when things were simpler and still not completely convoluted. Days when we only knew that Wesker has a normal dude who happened to be a bad guy, and… Continue reading BGS 2018: Claire meets William Birkin eye to arm-eye in the newest Resident Evil 2 demo
After nearly a decade without any actual new titles to call his own, and having to rely of appearances on two Marvel vs. Capcom fighters, the Blue Bomber is finally back in a game to call his own. The demand has been high for a new entry in the franchise ever since the latest release,… Continue reading Mega Man 11’s a tough nut to crack, and I wouldn’t want it any other way
In late January, Monster Hunter World already solidified its spot on my game of the year list, as I talked about in my review of its console version. Six months later, we’re finally getting to play the PC port, and to all intents and purposes, it’s looking like it’s the definitive way to play Monster… Continue reading You don’t need a beast of a computer to have a good time playing Monster Hunter World
If there’s one thing Capcom has been known for over the years, it’s for having a knack for re-releasing their games. Be it with the numerous tweaked versions of Street Fighter II in the 1990s or the later enhanced ports of the original Resident Evil, it’s safe to say that they really count on their… Continue reading Relive the very best (and worst) of Street Fighter in the 30th Anniversary Collection
Among the many games that I played during my appointments at E3, getting the chance to try out the new Resident Evil 2 remake was perhaps my biggest surprise at the show. Sure, the existence of this new version of the 1998 classic wasn’t much of a secret, but to find out just how far… Continue reading E3 2018: Resident Evil 2 was my biggest surprise at the show
The journey of following a series like Monster Hunter is a perilous one. Capcom’s long-running franchise has always been know to suffer from obtuse design decisions, having impenetrable mechanics, and being extremely unfriendly to newcomers. Its fans are considered to be among of the most dedicated, and frankly, sometimes a little too devoted. And that’s… Continue reading Monster Hunter World is a huge, demanding but ultimately rewarding experience
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is an inherently inferior compilation in comparison to the first, mainly due to its lineup of games, but it excels in bringing back to light some my least favorite entries in the franchise. In fact, Capcom has done an admirable job putting this new collection together. Although neither Mega Man… Continue reading Mega Man Legacy Collection 2’s lineup might be disappointing, but it more than makes up in content
If you’ve been reading the site for a little while, you probably know this by now, but if you’re new, here’s the deal: I’m a huge fan of the Monster Hunter series. I’ve been increasingly more dedicated with each new game, and for all intents and purposes, I’ll do the same with Monster Hunter: World,… Continue reading From E3 2017: Monster Hunter: World was my big surprise at the show
The Resident Evil franchise has seen its share of ups and downs over the years, ever since its inception in 1997. What started out as one heck of a scary game -- at least for the mind of a then twelve-year-old me -- eventually turned into shooters, and the overall quality saw a big dip… Continue reading Resident Evil 7 Review – It’s been a long road home
With 2016 rapidly drawing to a close, what better time it is to look back at the state of fighting games, in a year that featured some of the biggest names in the genre making gigantic comebacks. King of Fighters and Street Fighter, in particular, were rivals since their debut in the late 1980s and early… Continue reading State of the Brawl 2016: Street Fighter V, King of Fighters XIV and co.
