Throughout gaming history there have been two staple weapons of choice, the gun and the sword. Both have been wielded by heroes and villains a like, and of course there have been all different varieties of these weapons from rocket launchers to demon possessed blades. So if you were a hero or indeed a villain, what staple weapon would you choose? The gun or the sword?
When I think of hack and slash games there are only two games that cut the mustard. Devil May Cry for its awesome story and stylish combat and Ninja Gaiden for its fantastic game play and its steep learning curve. The amount of time I have spent trying to complete Ninja Gaiden II is unreal. I still go back to it every now and again just to see if I still have the skills to beat the game. That and [...]
Most people out there see me as a gamer geek, it’s not surprising really as I run a video game review site. However there is another side to my geeky nature and that’s my love for anime, or Japanimation as I like to call it. So when Tecmo Koei and Namco Bandai posted Plus XP a copy of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3 to review, you could probably imagine my excitement
When I play a game, I am always up for a bit of a challenge. I look at some FPS titles and can’t help but whack the difficulty up to max and count the seconds it takes for me to get totally disemboweled by zombies or space aliens. Even though I do like the challenge I am never that great at it, Games are supposed to be fun at the end of the day, this is why I play them. [...]
When you hear the word Troy, what do you think of? History’s first case of a bait and switch? The average movie version with Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom playing themselves? Well, now you can think of the awesome new hack and slash game brought to us from the makers of the Dynasty Warriors series, Tecmo Koei. The game has you playing through a variety of Heroes and Heroines from Homer’s Iliad, showing all sides of the conflict through gameplay [...]
Hack and slash games for me have become one of my favorite video game genres, ever since I first got my hands on Devil May Cry 3 (The first DMC I ever played) I have had a love for them. The way you can mix up attacks with different weapons plus the fact you feel awesome taking down several enemies at one time with a flick of few buttons. It is definatly a satisfying game genre. Most hack and slash [...]
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 [...]
It is very simple to compare a game like Nintey Nine Nights to the Dynasty Warriors games both the games have the same sort of game play and mission based system. The idea behind these games is to take down armies of soldiers and complete objectives to win a war against your foes. So as you can imagine with these type of games you get a stupid amount of soldiers coming towards you and you have to fight them all [...]
I am not much of a Star Wars fan. I mean I think the films are good and very watchable. But I am not going to go out of my way and wear a stormtrooper costume to work. So basically I think the films are good but nothing to get heavily obsessed over.
