This week on The Entertainment Dome, I pretty much have to talk about the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 rumours, James is very excited for Star Wars: Visions, and less so for the Dead Space remake.

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
The Entertainment Dome Episode 85 – Shadow of Microtransactions
This week on The Entertainment Dome, I get to rant a little bit about the dark side of the Kirby series thanks to the new game for Switch, James is unimpressed with the live-action Fullmetal Alchemist movie and we naturally discuss the decision to remove microtransactions from Shadow of War.
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 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
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 13 – Fantastic Beasts and Where the Hell Are They?
It’s not been a good year so far, but that won’t stop us from being positive! This week on The Entertainment Dome, we officially introduce a weekly segment where we recap the Ace Attorney anime, we discuss the recent trailer for the new, not Harry Potter movie and we dive down a deep, dark hole when James brings up the upcoming Preacher adaptation (also we fade out at the end too early – whoops).
The Entertainment Dome Episode 5 – Harry Potter and the Final Fantasy Debate
It’s been a slow news week, but that’s not going to stop James and I from rambling a bunch. This week, James shares his recent experience with Xenoblade Chronicles (the best game ever), we relive our teenage years with a Harry Potter discussion and we have a bit of a ramble about the Final Fantasy series.
Ten Characters I Want in Super Smash Bros
(originally posted April 17th 2015)
Who should be playable in the next Super Smash Bros? It’s a question that many have asked and even more have answered. Every time a new instalment is announced, people immediately begin debating as to who should make the cut. No other fighting game series seems to generate this much discussion. Smash Bros is kind of like the videogame equivalent of Hollywood; everyone’s desperate to make it there. Continue reading
