“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”
My Idea For A “Fangan” (Danganronpa Fan Game)
Let’s try something completely different to my usual blog post – Danganronpa is one of my favourite videogame series of all time, and many years ago when I first played them I wrote a “Fangan” that never saw the light of day … until now! I found an old plan for my story – “DanganronpaContinue reading “My Idea For A “Fangan” (Danganronpa Fan Game)”
The Sinking City – Almost A Classic
It’s been a while since I’ve done a game review on this blog – what better way to re-start this type of post than with a game I replayed recently that nobody cares about anymore, “The Sinking City”! Frogwares are more known for their Sherlock Holmes games, so I was surprised when they released aContinue reading “The Sinking City – Almost A Classic”
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”
Assassin’s Creed Protagonists Ranked
Whenever a new AC game comes out, fans always want to know three things – what are the new mechanics, what’s the setting, and is the protagonist going to sweep me off my feet? More often than not the protagonists have been great characters, each with interesting backstories and motivations. But I certainly have myContinue reading “Assassin’s Creed Protagonists Ranked”
Assassin’s Creed – The Best & Worst Thing About Each Game
I’ve played every single mainline Assassin’s Creed game, most of them more than once, and I can confidently say that none of them are outright bad. Some have aged poorly, others integrate bad mechanics, the more recent ones are too long, but each one serves up an interesting and (usually) engaging experience. That being said,Continue reading “Assassin’s Creed – The Best & Worst Thing About Each Game”
Assassin’s Creed – Ezio Trilogy Power Ranking
The Ezio Trilogy is widely considered to be the peak of the Assassin’s Creed franchise (which is kinda sad, if you think about it), and I recently sat down to play them all back to back. Whilst they have their flaws, they’re nothing if not unabashedly fun. I thought it would be fun to powerContinue reading “Assassin’s Creed – Ezio Trilogy Power Ranking”
