On Friday I announced a competition here on Plus XP. I had 10 codes to give away for the latest Fist Of The North Star: Ken’s Rage DLC for PlayStation 3. The competition was simple. Think of a caption of this screen shot, and 10 of the best captions will receive a the prize of Shin & Thouzer’s Original Costumes & 2 New Missions which would usually cost £4.99/€6.19 each. It would appear that only nine people entered the competition. [...]
November last year saw the release of Fist Of The North Star: Kens Rage on the PlayStation3 and XBox 360. The game based on the hit Anime and Manga series, told the story of Kenshiro and his battle against his brothers and his struggle to be soul successor to the fighting style Hokotu Shinken. I reviewed the game and was really impressed by the sheer amount of content and how everything in the game pretty much came together perfectly. Also [...]
Good games based on manga/anime series in my opinion are few and far between. Hell any games that are based on either a film/cartoon/pther media haven’t been a roaring success, sure there have been some ok ones, such as the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game, or The Lord Of The Rings: The Third Age. But to me games such as these haven’t been the greatest in my opinion. But I have always gone by the mentality that games shouldn’t be judged [...]
Hack and slash games have ranked highly in my opinion for some time now. These games are classic for releasing some rage and more importantly a great genre to mix up some button combinations giving you a good variety of ways to attack your enemy. I have always been a manga fan and in recent times, video games of manga series haven’t really gone that well in my opinion, except for maybe pokemon but that’s the only exception. But in [...]
MarkBOSS was armed with his camera at this mays MCM Expo and this is what he filmed.
I have been a huge fan of beat ‘em up games. Ever since Streets Of Rage on the Sega Megadrive, I have always had a soft spot for games were you progress through the level by beating the seven shades of crazy out of your enemies with your bare fists, or whatever weapons you happen to find lying around. I am also a big fan of manga and anime. Weather it be a Death Note, Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, you name [...]
I love my manga, besides gaming Manga and anime are next in line in my collection of ridiculously geeky things. I am slowly filling up my shelf with manga books and dvds. The story telling, the style and the awesome amount of over the top combat its truley a great read for any geek such as myself. I am forever coming across titles I havn’t heard of. One of my most recent disscoveries was Fist Of The North Star a [...]
Trying to get into the video games world is a tricky task. Trickier then say Ikaruga or World at War on Veteran. Specifically, gaming journalism it seems is the first ideal foot in the doorway for any other job in the gaming industry. This makes gaming journalism extremely competitive and career possibilities few and far among. About a year ago a thought ran across my mind- Hmm I want to make money, BUT I want to play video games while [...]
