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.

The Entertainment Dome Episode 21 – United in Sadness
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.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 20 – Time To Say Hello
I hope you like RWBY because that’s all we’re talking about this week on The Entertainment Dome. Continuing from the previous two episodes, James has now watched Volume 2 and pretty much echoes my thoughts on it. Be warned, there will be spoilers. We do talk about other things too, like our regular Ace Attorney anime recap and the disastrous Mighty No. 9 trailer.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 18 – Red Like Roses
We’ve got a whole lot of movie talk going on in this week’s episode of The Entertainment Dome. Specifically, we share our opinions on the current state of DC’s movies and theorise what could happen with Nintendo’s own jump into the film industry. Also, I take delight in getting James into RWBY and I probe him for his thoughts on the initial trailers.
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.
Five Videogames That Should Get Rhythm-Action Spin-Offs
As I mentioned in the Dancing All Night review, I’ve developed a fondness for rhythm-action games over the last few years. I can’t quite pinpoint where it started nor can I say why I enjoy playing them. Maybe it’s because I feel like I’m contributing to the music itself despite not being musically inclined at all.
Regardless of the reason, games like Dancing All Night make me yearn for other videogames to get a similar treatment – their own rhythm-action spin-offs that celebrate their glorious soundtracks. So, here’s a short dream list of the five games that deserve priority. Continue reading
The Entertainment Dome Episode 16 – May the Tangents Be With You
This week on The Entertainment Dome, we celebrate Star Wars Day by ironically not talking about Star Wars. Instead, we discuss practically everything else, from the rebooted Powerpuff Girls to the new Call of Duty game.
Oh, and I immediately regret a certain choice of words I use to describe the latest trailer for the Warcraft movie.
The Entertainment Dome Episode 15 – Nintendon’t Do That
This week on The Entertainment Dome, my recent experience with the Final Fantasy XV demos lead to a bit of a ramble about other RPGs, we briefly talk about the new Doctor Who companion and we react to Nintendo’s quite frankly terrible plans for E3 and beyond.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night – Pointless Party or One Last Hurrah?
Persona 4 is, without a doubt, one of the best JRPGs ever made. Anybody who’s played it will tell you that, which is probably why some people got a bit mad when Atlus started milking the crap out of it. Two fighting games, two different anime series, a crossover with Persona 3 and, today’s subject, a rhythm-action game.
Personally, while I understand some people’s frustration, I had no issues with these because 1. any opportunity to spend more time with these characters was a welcome one for me, 2. the money made from these would help fund other projects (coughPersona5cough) and 3. they were fun to play anyway. And for me, it was, bizarrely, the rhythm-action game that had me most excited.
At the time, I had only recently found myself becoming a fan of the genre thanks to the likes of Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy and the Project Diva games, so having a game like that but with Persona 4 music was a welcome one. But did the game live up to my admittedly lofty expectations? Can someone who isn’t a fan of the series enjoy it? Or does it alienate even the Persona 4 fans? Well, that’s what this review is all about. Continue reading
The Entertainment Dome Episode 14 – Ghost in the Shell: Lazy, Ignorant or Just Racist?
This week on The Entertainment Dome, James uses the music breaks as an excuse to get hyped for Game of Thrones, I finally jump into the Star Wars fandom and we get serious (and very angry) as we discuss the upcoming Ghost in the Shell movie and the controversy surrounding it.
