The Entertainment Dome Episode 153 – Foolishness, Sony
This week on The Entertainment Dome, we run through our thoughts on last week’s PlayStation 5 showcase and the announcements, including Final Fantasy XVI, Hogwarts Legacy, and Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 149 – Does Whatever the Xbox Version Can’t
This week on The Entertainment Dome, James and I complain about Spider-Man being exclusive to the PlayStation versions of the Avengers game, before remembering that we never covered the Xbox Games Showcase.
Marvel’s Avengers Beta Impressions – Avengers In Name Only?
Ever since its initial reveal at E3 2019, I have wanted desperately to like Square Enix and Crystal Dynamic’s Avengers game. Unfortunately, nearly everything about it seemed to be forcing me to be sceptical about it.
The plot was uninteresting and a culmination of some of my least favourite ‘event comic’ superhero tropes, the gameplay appeared average at best and monotonous at worst, the hyper realistic graphics made for a grey and bland-looking world, and its mere existence as a service title akin to something like Destiny meant that this was Square Enix attempting to capitalise on a trendy market by using already existing characters as the poster boys to help push it.
I wanted to give the game a chance, though, so when I was granted the opportunity to try out the game’s beta, I took it. Sometimes, you really do need a hands-on approach to better judge a product and I’ll be detailing my experiences and first impressions here. Continue reading
The Entertainment Dome Episode 139 – Good To See You
This week on The Entertainment Dome, James basically takes over to spend the whole hour and a bit expressing as many of his opinions on Final Fantasy VII Remake as he can.
The Entertainment Dome One Shot – Final Fantasy 7 Remake Demo
With everyone raving over the Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo, I figured I’d record my initial impressions as someone with no nostalgia for the original game.
Ten of My Favourite Games of the Decade
I know I’m late in saying this but, damn, this really is a new decade, huh? I never even considered it until it was pointed out to me. A lot has happened in the last ten years, and after looking at some good-looking games that are coming in the future, I’d like to reminisce about all the awesome games from the past. And, boy, there were a lot.
So, since everyone else has done it and I apparently have as much originality as a live-action Disney remake, here’s a list of some of my all-time favourite games to have been released throughout the 2010s – one from each year (I’m using the European release dates BTW). Continue reading
My VG Music Picks #86 – Bully (River City Girls)
I may have mentioned this before, but if a videogame has actual lyrical songs in it, I’m much more likely to buy it. It’s weird since videogames featuring songs isn’t new or special anymore, but I can’t help but be impressed/excited whenever it happens. I very nearly bought River City Girls just because it had an opening song that was only four lines long, and I was somewhat surprised that it had more songs like it. Continue reading
Ten Things You Might’ve Not Known About Kingdom Hearts
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Kingdom Hearts
For as much as I get frustrated with Kingdom Hearts, it’s a series that’s near and dear to me. I may grumble about some aspects of it constantly, but I’ll always keep coming back for its tight, action-RPG gameplay, enjoyable characters and its general oddball charm. And if I didn’t love it, I wouldn’t be interested in finding out curious tid-bits and random trivia all about it. So how about we take a look at the game that started it all and learn something new today? Continue reading
Favourite Moments in Fiction #23 – “My Friends Are My Power” (Kingdom Hearts)
WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for Kingdom Hearts
It sounds a little weird to say this but there was a time when Kingdom Hearts was oddly simple. While the series is notorious nowadays for its convoluted story-line, the first game is actually pretty easy to follow (for the most part – there are still some nonsensical moments). And while it may not seem as grandiose or have presentation on the same level as its superior sequels, the first game is responsible for some of the series’ most iconic traits and moments. Case in point – this scene. Continue reading
