I recently replayed “The Rise of the Golden Idol” because the DLC “The Sins Of New Wells” came out, and while playing I remembered how I’d ranked all of the levels in the original game. It only seems fair to give the sequel the same treatment (and this time, yet again, I’ll add a littleContinue reading ““The Rise of the Golden Idol” – Every Level Ranked”

Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Reclaimed” (Dual Destinies – Special Case)
“Turnabout Reclaimed” is a DLC case for Dual Destinies that sees Phoenix and Athena investigate a murder at an aquarium. There are pirates, penguins, and singing orca … but just what on earth happened at the Shipshape Aquarium? I’ll be deconstructing the case in ten distinct categories and giving a score out of ten forContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Reclaimed” (Dual Destinies – Special Case)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout For Tomorrow” (Dual Destinies – Case 5)
“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: “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 Countdown” (Dual Destinies – Case 1)
We’ve entered a new era of Ace Attorney – Shu Takumi is no longer the creative force behind the games, and for better or for worse that led to a fresh take on the Ace Attorney canon with “Dual Destinies”. The first case, “Turnabout Countdown”, certainly kicks things off with a bang. I’ll be deconstructingContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Countdown” (Dual Destinies – Case 1)”
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: “Turnabout Corner” (Apollo Justice – Case 2)
“Turnabout Corner” is the second case of “Apollo Justice”, and it immediately follows the high-stakes intensity of “Turnabout Trump” with more earth-shattering revelations about characters we thought we knew. Only joking – it’s a rudimentary filler case. 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: “Turnabout Corner” (Apollo Justice – Case 2)”
Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Trump” (Apollo Justice – Case 1)
With the Ace Attorney trilogy coming to its natural conclusion, Shu Takumi assumed that his hit lawyer series was over and done with. But, after Capcom pushed for a sequel, Takumi came back in order to get it right. The first case of the new Apollo Justice era is “Turnabout Trump”, a murky romp withContinue reading “Ace Attorney Deep Dive: “Turnabout Trump” (Apollo Justice – Case 1)”
Doctor Who “Season 1” – Episodes Ranked
New Doctor, new companion, new (or in this case returning) showrunner, and a swanky new budget courtesy of Disney. Doctor Who is back, baby! Season 1 – or Season 14, if I’m being pedantic – has come and gone … so how would I rank all eight episodes? Be wary of SPOILERS if you haven’tContinue reading “Doctor Who “Season 1” – Episodes Ranked”
