I was never a fan of Apollo Justice. He wasn’t a bad character, per se, but there wasn’t really anything about him that stood out. He was uninteresting and underdeveloped, and the fact that he wound up being completely overshadowed in his own game didn’t help his case. Despite that, when Dual Destinies was announced, I hoped that he would return. Continue reading

The Entertainment Dome Episode 17 – Owl, Cat or Sea Lion?
This week on The Entertainment Dome, we actually stay on topic for once as we share our thoughts on the recent Overwatch beta and it’s many characters, discuss the tasty new info revealed for Pokémon Sun & Moon and get excited (and a little angry) over the launch details for Ace Attorney 6.
My VG Music Picks #28 – Theme of Ryu (Street Fighter V)
The thing with some character themes is that, after a while, it’s hard to explain why they fit the character in question. They’ve been associated with that character for so long that it just works, with no proper explanation. When you hear that track, you immediately think of the character. For me, Ryu’s theme is the perfect example of that. Continue reading
The Entertainment Dome Episode 2 – Screwing the Pooch
This week on The Entertainment Dome, I get to gush over Project X Zone all over again, we talk about EA’s upcoming DLC for Star Wars: Battlefront and why they’re bad (we even have statistics!) and have a bit of a bitch about Doctor Who.
My VG Music Picks #23 -Turnabout Sisters ~ Music Box Melody (Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney)
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney got so much right. It was one of those games that I was super hyped for and it managed to surpass all of my lofty expectations. It had so many memorable moments that I hope to never forget; one of them being the scene accompanied by this week’s music pick. Continue reading
My VG Music Picks #18 – Pursuit ~ Cornered (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney)
There are many reasons for an Ace Attorney fan to get excited for a new game. One of them is what the new Pursuit theme will sound like. Every game has had one and they are usually one of the best tracks. While this music pick might not be my favourite iteration, it’s easily the most recognisable, the most iconic and it was the first. Continue reading
Remember Me – Cherished Memory or Totally Forgettable?
(originally posted January 23rd 2015)
Sometimes all it takes is an idea to get me to play a game. It could seem relatively minor but the very notion is enough to grab my interest. For Remember Me, it was the ability to enter a person’s memory and alter it. I can’t remember exactly where I heard about it but it made me want to give the game a go, despite its mixed reviews. Having now played it, though, is the game itself any good? Continue reading
Nine Characters That Should Be in a Project X Zone Sequel
(originally posted October 31st 2014)
In case the month’s worth of articles didn’t make it painfully obvious by this point, I love Project X Zone and, though it may never happen, I still dream of a sequel. What would change? What would be kept the same? I dunno, but what I do know is who I’d want to appear in it. The only rule is that they have to be Capcom, Sega and Namco characters. Continue reading
Five Crossovers That Should Have Been Like Project X Zone
(originally posted October 24th 2014)
If it wasn’t clear enough by this point, a lot of my love for Project X Zone comes from its set-up and character interaction. As such, I couldn’t help but think how good some crossovers could have been if they adopted a similar route. A lot of videogame crossovers just have the characters fight each other, which is entertaining but it very much lacks that special charm that something like Project X Zone had, which is ultimately why it’s one of my favourite video games. It may be but a fantasy to never come but I can certainly dream of a world where these existing crossovers were a hell of a lot more awesome. Continue reading
Ten of My Favourite Music Tracks from Project X Zone
(originally posted October 17th 2014)
I briefly mentioned it in the article I wrote two weeks ago, but Project X Zone has an amazing soundtrack. Granted, most of the tracks are remixes of already existing tracks but there are still plenty of original tracks and, regardless of originality, they are all really good. So, to honour it, here’s a list of ten of my top picks. Continue reading
