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)”

“Murders On The Yangtze River” – Every Case Ranked

I seem to be on a hot streak of Ace Attorney-adjacent games at the moment – at first it was “Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane” which had a magical focus, and now “Murders On The Yangtze River” gave a historical Chinese spin on the genre. Time will tell which of the two I prefer,Continue reading ““Murders On The Yangtze River” – Every Case Ranked”

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Diamond Is Unbreakable” Episodes Ranked

We’ve moved away from the Stand-of-the-week adventure of “Stardust Crusaders” and into the small town mystery of “Diamond Is Unbreakable” … and I think this might be the best JoJo Part yet! There are twenty-five episodes in total (if you combine the multi-part stories), so how would I rank them all? You can check outContinue reading “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Diamond Is Unbreakable” Episodes Ranked”

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)”

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Stardust Crusaders” Episodes Ranked

Gone are the wishy-washy powers of Hamon — it’s Stand time, baby! “Stardust Crusaders” is a much more episodic season of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure than the others, which I liked … at first. The varying quality of Stands and storylines means this season is perfect for a ranking list, so I’ll do just that forContinue reading “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Stardust Crusaders” Episodes Ranked”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Memories” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 1)

Ace Attorney had amassed quite a cult following by 2004, so Shu Takumi and his team needed to pull out all the stops to make the final game in their trilogy a memorable one. The end result, “Trials & Tribulations”, exceeded expectations and then some – and the first case “Turnabout Memories” got it offContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Memories” (Trials & Tribulations – Case 1)”

Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane – Every Case Ranked

I went into “Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane” expecting an Ace Attorney rip-off with a sprinkling of magic, but it’s so much more than that – it’s a fantastic homage to one of my favourite series with some new twists to make the story unique. I’ll rank all five cases, but I may delveContinue reading “Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane – Every Case Ranked”

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Battle Tendency” Episodes Ranked

The first season of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is split into two arcs – nine episodes of “Phantom Blood”, which was pretty boring, and episodes 10-26 make up “Battle Tendency”. This arc follows a new JoJo – namely Joseph Joestar – and his adventures of mastering Hamon whilst toppling the Pillar Men. This is a bigContinue reading “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure – “Battle Tendency” Episodes Ranked”
