“Reunion, and Turnabout”, the second case of “Justice For All”, is unique in that it’s the first Ace Attorney case to be told out of order. Chronologically, it takes place before “The Lost Turnabout” and is framed as Phoenix recounting his unorthodox reunion with Maya. Many fans consider this a step up from the openingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Reunion, and Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 2)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Lost Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 1)
After the success of the first game, Shu Takami – Ace Attorney’s primary writer – was ordered by Capcom to make an entire trilogy. After months of writing and re-writing, and after being rushed by tight deadlines, it wasn’t long before “Justice For All” released in Japan. Its first case “The Lost Turnabout” has aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “The Lost Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 1)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Rise from the Ashes” (Phoenix Wright – Case 5)
Originally a bonus case added to mark the Nintendo DS release of the first game, “Rise from the Ashes” sees Phoenix and Edgeworth battle in the courtroom once more to take on their toughest challenge yet. I have a thing or two to say about this one … so it’s time for a comprehensive DeepContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Rise from the Ashes” (Phoenix Wright – Case 5)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Goodbyes” (Phoenix Wright – Case 4)
Originally the final case of the first game, “Turnabout Goodbyes” saw the DL-6 Incident come to its conclusion in dramatic manner. For many, this is the case that first displayed Ace Attorney’s immense storytelling capabilities – but will it hold up to an intensive Deep Dive? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categoriesContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Goodbyes” (Phoenix Wright – Case 4)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Samurai” (Phoenix Wright – Case 3)
“Turnabout Samurai” is easily the most controversial case in the first Ace Attorney game – most think it birthed the infamous “Case Three Syndrome”, while others (including myself) find it charming and harmless … but will it hold up to a intensive retrospective? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving aContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Samurai” (Phoenix Wright – Case 3)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Sisters” (Phoenix Wright – Case 2)
After a fairly standard tutorial case, I was ready for Ace Attorney to truly wow me. While it didn’t accomplish that (for reasons I’ll explain shortly), it was certainly a step in the right direction – albeit a small one. Like with how I reviewed The First Turnabout, I’ll be evaluating the merits of “TurnaboutContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Sisters” (Phoenix Wright – 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)”
OPPENHEIMER is a Tour de Force – REVIEW
I’m writing this review fresh out of the cinema … Maybe it’s an intense case of recency bias, but I think “Oppenheimer” is the film of the year, and certainly one of Christopher Nolan’s crowning achievements. I’ll go into more detail as the review goes on, but for now I’ll confidently say it’s a tourContinue reading “OPPENHEIMER is a Tour de Force – REVIEW”
Super Mario Galaxy – 10 Best (& Worst) Stars
Super Mario Galaxy is easily one of my favourite games of all time, and I’ve already ranked each galaxy, but that doesn’t tell the whole story – I’m going to pick my 10 favourite (and least favourite) stars / levels. As an added challenge, I’m not going to pick any of the purple coin levels.Continue reading “Super Mario Galaxy – 10 Best (& Worst) Stars”
Persona: Golden vs Royal vs Strikers
Persona is a series that I’ve fallen head over heels for, and every time I pick up a new entry I have a blast with it. Here are the three fantastic games I’ve played so far: Now that I’ve finally completed all three, I can do one of my trademark Power Rankings (pitting each gameContinue reading “Persona: Golden vs Royal vs Strikers”
