“Turnabout For Tomorrow” picks up right where “The Cosmic Turnabout” left off – Athena is accused of Clay Terran’s murder, a mysterious Phantom is still running amok, and Apollo is still donning bandages and an eyepatch. One thing’s for sure – we’ve got an Ace Attorney finale on our hands! I’ll be deconstructing the caseContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout For Tomorrow” (Dual Destinies – Case 5)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Cosmic Turnabout” (Dual Destinies – Case 4)
Dual Destinies began with an explosion, so it’s only fitting that the finale kicks off with a bang. Though this isn’t the final case, “The Cosmic Turnabout” is the first part of a fantastic climax. I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each. This willContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Cosmic Turnabout” (Dual Destinies – Case 4)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Academy” (Dual Destinies – Case 3)
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: “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: “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: “Recipe For Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 3)
“Recipe For Turnabout” was supposed to be a case from “Justice For All” but it ended up getting cut and repurposed for “Trials & Tribulations”. It fits neatly into the third case slot … but does it continue the trend of unfortunate Phoenix Wright third cases? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categoriesContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Recipe For Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 3)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Stolen Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 2)
“The Stolen Turnabout” is a filler case, no doubt about it, but it remains one of the fanbase’s favourite filler cases in the series. That being said, I have my personal gripes … I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten for each. This will give aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Stolen Turnabout” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 2)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The First Turnabout” (Phoenix Wright – Case 1)
Since Ace Attorney 7 is taking longer than I thought, I’ve ended up going back to the classics for a sort of nostalgic retrospective. I love this series so much, but the original trilogy still holds a special place in my heart – so that seems the best place to start an (un)official Deep Dive!Continue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The First Turnabout” (Phoenix Wright – Case 1)”
“The Sexy Brutale” Is Almost Great – REVIEW
While looking for my next Detective / Mystery game to play on Steam, I stumbled across a fairly cheap, moderately well-reviewed title called “The Sexy Brutale”. It’s quite a short game that revolves around a time loop gimmick, and I feel it was almost a great experience – I’ll explain what I liked about it,Continue reading ““The Sexy Brutale” Is Almost Great – REVIEW”
