The Entertainment Dome Episode 52 – We’ll Meet Again, Light Yagami!
This week on The Entertainment Dome, James gets excited for the upcoming second season of Attack on Titan, we give our first thoughts on Netflix’s adaptation of Death Note and, thanks to the casting of Willem DeFoe, I go on a random tangent regarding the Spider-Man movies.
My VG Music Picks #41 – God the Hundred (Project X Zone 2)
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Project X Zone 2
Sorry, folks, the Project X Zone 2 love-fest isn’t quite over yet. While I already did a whole article about some of my favourite music tracks from the game, there were still several that I omitted entirely. This is one of them. Continue reading
Twenty Characters I Want Playable in Project X Zone 3
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for the following games:
God Eater
Project X Zone
Project X Zone 2
Solatorobo: Red the Hunter
Street Fighter V
Xenoblade Chronicles
What better way to round up this month of Project X Zone 2 rambling than a wish list of characters for a possible sequel? Back in 2014, the chances of my new favourite crossover game getting a sequel seemed pretty slim. Now, though, the odds seem slightly stronger, with producer Kensuke Tsukanaka even saying he wants to continue the series.
Hopefully, we won’t have to wait long for a third title but I’m optimistic (or maybe just delusional) that it will happen, and when it does, I’ll have my fingers crossed that at least some of these characters will make an appearance.
My only rules are that they have to be brand new characters (so no characters that appeared in either PXZ or Namco X Capcom), no characters that were already on the previous list I did and they have to be from Capcom, Sega, Bandai Namco or Nintendo IPs. Continue reading
Ten of My Favourite Music Tracks from Project X Zone 2
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Project X Zone 2
One aspect I didn’t mention in the Project X Zone 2 review was its soundtrack. As a crossover of many gaming franchises, it naturally draws most of its music from those franchises and gives them fancy new remixes. The first game did the same thing but, due to licensing issues, a lot of tracks had to be replaced (and some just flat-out removed) for the Western release.
PXZ 2, however, managed to avoid this pitfall and we were gifted with an untouched, complete soundtrack (though Japan still got an exclusive pre-order that offered the original versions of the remixes which sucks but what are you gonna do?). So, to continue the trend of me pretending I know what I’m talking about when it comes to music, here’s a quick list of ten of my favourite music tracks from the game. And believe me when I say that this list was much harder to make than the last one. Seriously, this is a really good soundtrack. Continue reading
Ten Favourite Characters in Project X Zone 2
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for the following games:
Project X Zone 2
Tales of Vesperia
Xenoblade Chronicles
As I wrote in last week’s review, Project X Zone 2 has an arguably stronger cast of characters than its predecessor, with a healthy mix of familiar and not-so familiar faces. For some players, this game is the first time even seeing some of these characters, which means they need to make strong first impressions – they need to make us want to know more about them. And I’d say they certainly succeeded.
So, just because I did this last time, here are my personal ten favourite characters from the game. My one rule is that they have to be “new” characters, so no characters that also appeared in the first game. Continue reading
Project X Zone 2 – The Best Videogame Crossover Ever?
Back in October 2014 (a time when I was still writing this stuff on Tumblr), I dedicated the entire month to writing articles about Project X Zone, a crossover, tactical RPG on the 3DS featuring characters from Capcom, Sega and Namco franchises. It quickly became one of my favourite games ever upon playing it and I just wanted, nay, needed to express that love somewhere (you can check out said articles here). So, you can probably guess how I felt when a sequel was announced (spoilers: there was a lot of screaming).
Said sequel, Project X Zone 2, was released in the West in February 2016 so, one year later, I’m doing this shit again because (unsurprisingly) I love the sequel too. But is it an improvement over its predecessor or is it just the same game with only the most minute of differences? Well, that’s what a review’s for, isn’t it? Continue reading
The Entertainment Dome Episode 45 – Notice Me, Yuri Lowenthal!
Due to technical issues, it took a bit longer to get this episode out. Fortunately, we’ve recovered it, so listen on and enjoy us break down the antepenultimate episode of RWBY Volume 4 and the Fire Emblem themed Nintendo Direct.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 44 – The Lost Episode
Because of reasons, one of our episodes was lost to the ether. So, James and I decided to re-record it in our spare time for those who missed the live-show. We apologise for this and hope you enjoy our extra long ramble about the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo’s handling of it.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 42 – One More Tangent Till Christmas
It’s our last show of the year, so we celebrate by doing what we pretty much do every episode – go on random tangents. So sit back, relax and enjoy as we talk about a rather mixed bag of a RWBY episode and discuss this year’s Game Awards three weeks after it happened. Merry Christmas!
