Phoenix Wright and co. go back to school – by invitation, of course. Phoenix is due to give a defence seminar at Themis Academy, but in classic Ace Attorney fashion something goes horribly wrong. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each. This will giveContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Academy” (Dual Destinies – Case 3)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Monstrous Turnabout” (Dual Destinies – Case 2)
Case 2 of Dual Destinies – “The Monstrous Turnabout” – takes us back in time chronologically to when Apollo first met Athena. Their meeting, however, comes in the middle of a small town locked room murder mystery investigation … because of course it does. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and givingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Monstrous Turnabout” (Dual Destinies – Case 2)”
My Top 20 Favourite Videogame Soundtracks
Videogames are my favourite medium of entertainment – they combine all of my favourite things, like pulsating action and intricate, long-form storytelling, all in an interactable package. My other great love in life is music – so you can imagine the praise I hold for some of my favourite videogame soundtracks. For the sake ofContinue reading “My Top 20 Favourite Videogame Soundtracks”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Countdown” (Dual Destinies – Case 1)
We’ve entered a new era of Ace Attorney – Shu Takumi is no longer the creative force behind the games, and for better or for worse that led to a fresh take on the Ace Attorney canon with “Dual Destinies”. The first case, “Turnabout Countdown”, certainly kicks things off with a bang. I’ll be deconstructingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Countdown” (Dual Destinies – Case 1)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Succession” (Apollo Justice – Case 4)
An artist is poisoned in his studio, a magic troupe’s dark secrets are revealed, and an old foe rears his ugly head. It’s final case time, and “Turnabout Succession” has a lot to say! I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each. This will giveContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Succession” (Apollo Justice – Case 4)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Serenade” (Apollo Justice – Case 3)
“Turnabout Serenade”, the third case of “Apollo Justice”, has a bit of a sour reputation in the Ace Attorney fanbase. Some see it as a perpetuation of the infamous “third case syndrome” while others, such as myself, used to rank it as middling relative to the rest of the series. But do I still lookContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Serenade” (Apollo Justice – Case 3)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Corner” (Apollo Justice – Case 2)
“Turnabout Corner” is the second case of “Apollo Justice”, and it immediately follows the high-stakes intensity of “Turnabout Trump” with more earth-shattering revelations about characters we thought we knew. Only joking – it’s a rudimentary filler case. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each.Continue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Corner” (Apollo Justice – Case 2)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Trump” (Apollo Justice – Case 1)
With the Ace Attorney trilogy coming to its natural conclusion, Shu Takumi assumed that his hit lawyer series was over and done with. But, after Capcom pushed for a sequel, Takumi came back in order to get it right. The first case of the new Apollo Justice era is “Turnabout Trump”, a murky romp withContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Trump” (Apollo Justice – Case 1)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Bridge to the Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 5)
After three games and fourteen cases of storytelling, it all comes down to this. “Bridge to the Turnabout” is a fan favourite case, and for good reason – but will it hold up to an intensive retrospective? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each.Continue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Bridge to the Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 5)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Beginnings” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 4)
“Turnabout Beginnings”, much like the first case of the game, is a flashback case that puts Mia Fey at the helm once more. Over the course of a harrowing trial, we start to understand the horrible events that set the narrative of the present day into motion. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinctContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Beginnings” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 4)”
