WARNING: The following episode contains spoilers for Ace Attorney and the Danganronpa series
This week on The Entertainment Dome, James shares his thoughts on the new direction Evolve has taken, I get particularly irate over the recent episode of Ace Attorney and we both get very excited over the new Danganronpa 3 anime.
Sonic the Hedgehog for Xbox 360 and PS3 was a disaster. There is no good defense for this game; even ten years after its release, the vast majority consider this to be one of the darkest moments in Sonic’s history. A moment that very nearly killed him. But, despite the justifiable hate this game has received, there seems to be one thing that we all seem to agree on – it had some fantastic music. Continue reading
WARNING: The following episode contains spoilers for RWBY Volume 3
After a week’s hiatus due to sudden illness, James and I return to The Entertainment Dome to catch up on all those Ace Attorney episode we neglected to talk about. Not only that, but James also shares his first impressions of the new Berserk anime, as well as the new Pokémon revealed for Sun & Moon. Also, I’m really quiet for some reason. Better use headphones.
It’s weird how quickly fans of the Kirby series were willing to accept the idea of the pink puffball piloting a robot. Normally, a deviation from the norm is a sure-fire way to incite unwarranted anger in people. I mean, look at some other franchises.
When The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker was announced with its cel-shaded graphics and kid-friendly appearance, it was immediately deemed by some fans as the worst game ever. When Banjo & Kazooie made their triumphant return with some weird racing-but-not-really-racing game, gamers everywhere vomited profusely at the mere sight of it. And do I even need to mention how nearly every Sonic the Hedgehog game since the early 2000s splits the fanbase in half?
Yet with this title, Kirby: Planet Robobot, nobody seemed to have a bad thing to say about the idea. I’m sure there’s at least one person who saw the inclusion of a robot as some kind of assault on their childhood but I personally never saw any criticism regarding the concept. But was all this acceptance well placed? Were we right to be so confident in this new idea? Well, that’s what this review’s all about. Continue reading
You ever have one of those pieces of music that just brings a smile to your face every time you hear it? For me, this is easily one of those tracks. Despite it technically being an orchestral cover of the first game’s main theme, Simple and Clean, I’ve always treated this as its own track; one that represents the entirety of the franchise. Continue reading
James and I are back to finish off our thoughts on this year’s E3! Not much else to say except to listen in on our opinions towards the samplings of Sony, Nintendo and Square Enix.
It’s that time of year again! James and I are ready to talk about all things E3 related, but there’s so much to do, we’ve had to split it into two parts. So listen on and enjoy our apathy, confusion and approval at the announcements made by EA, Bethesda, Microsoft and Ubisoft.
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Cardcaptor Sakura
Two weeks ago, I wrote an article about Cardcaptor Sakura and why I liked the show despite me not being the target demographic. Waxing nostalgically like that helped remind me of one of my favourite aspects of the show – the Clow Cards themselves. It’s hard to really explain but something about a set of magical cards, each with their own abilities and different themes and such just really appeals to me; so much so that I actually own a real-life deck of the cards (I have no regrets).
So, just because I want to, I’ve decided to rank all 53 of the Clow Cards, from least favourite to most favourite, in the first of a new series of articles I call Random Rankings. Continue reading
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story
When it comes to writing for these VG Music Picks articles, I impose a couple of rules on myself that determine what pieces of music I cover. One such rule is “can I write a couple of paragraphs where I can justify why I like the music based solely on the music whilst also sounding as pretentious as possible?” I like to think I do a decent enough job pretending like I know what I’m talking about when it comes to music but, sometimes, it’s hard to justify why I like a particular track. Sometimes, it’s just good. Continue reading
This week on The Entertainment Dome, our RWBY talk is finally over… and James is not happy. We spend a good while discussing Volume 3 and how it’s simultaneously amazing and heart-breaking, as well as some of our hopes for Volume 4. We also manage to get some quick pre-E3 news in (or as I like to call it, PrE3); specifically some of the leaks that have already emerged.
