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)”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Farewell, My Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 4)
After one great case and two pretty woeful ones, I think a lot of people were sick of “Justice For All” before its final case. After playing “Farewell, My Turnabout”, however, a lot of fans have this game as one of the better entries in the series. That bizarre shift in appreciation will become clearContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Farewell, My Turnabout” (Justice For All – Case 4)”
Danganronpa – Every Trial Minigame Ranked
Danganronpa is known for its bombastic Class Trials, but they wouldn’t be nearly as engaging if not for the minigames. Some of them made me actively look forward to the Trials, whilst other made me groan in pain when their names flashed up. I’ll be ranking all fourteen Danganronpa minigames from worst to best –Continue reading “Danganronpa – Every Trial Minigame Ranked”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Big Top” (Justice For All – Case 3)
Urgh … well I suppose I had to reach this case eventually. “Turnabout Big Top”, the third case in “Justice For All”, is widely hated by everyone … except, weirdly, Shu Takami himself (Ace Attorney’s creator and lead writer). He called this case “basically perfect”, which is incorrect for a plethora of reasons that I’mContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Big Top” (Justice For All – Case 3)”
Arkham Trilogy – Every Boss Ranked
After playing the Rocksteady Arkham trilogy (not Origins … sorry!), I was taken aback by the (mostly) excellent boss fights. I knew these games were famed for their combat encounters, but I wasn’t expecting them to be so good! I’ll rank every main boss fight in the trilogy – so smaller bosses like the TitansContinue reading “Arkham Trilogy – Every Boss Ranked”
Arkham Trilogy – Which Game Is Best?
I recently played through the Rocksteady Arkham Trilogy (not Origins … sorry!), and was blown away by the combat and gothic presentation. I enjoyed the Batman shenanigans so much that I got to wondering – which game in the trilogy is the best? I’ll do one of my trademark Power Rankings to decide – I’llContinue reading “Arkham Trilogy – Which Game Is Best?”
Every Edgar Wright Film Ranked
Edgar Wright hasn’t made many films in his career, but his ceaseless ingenuity and style shine through in every movie – he’s quickly becoming one of my favourite directors of all time. Now that I’ve seen all six of his major releases, I can finally rank them all. Let’s get to it! Before we begin,Continue reading “Every Edgar Wright Film 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”
Which Zero Escape Game Is Best?
I’ve been a fan of the Ace Attorney and Danganronpa series for the longest time, and one of the other visual novel franchises that kept popping up in my recommended was “Zero Escape”. After playing all three, I can finally see why. Whilst I wouldn’t necessarily hold them alongside the best games of either AceContinue reading “Which Zero Escape Game Is Best?”
