Review - Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin

Wow, how long has it been since I've posted anything on this blog? Over a year? It feels like a lot has happened since I've stopped regularly blogging, but it really didn't. I've been busy working 6 days a week, 9 hours a day for most of the past 3 years now, leaving me very little time to enjoy anything else in life. During what free time I did have though, half of it was spent playing Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin with my friends, and here is my review for the game.

Keep in mind that this is my first Dark Souls game and I have very little knowledge about Dark Souls I or the original Dark Souls II. With that said, let's get down to business.

Review - Kid Icarus: Uprising

I recently finished the Solo campaign for Kid Icarus: Uprising, and have been playing around with Together Mode as well. Does Pit's return from the NES classic Kid Icarus fly fair on the 3DS, or will he finished after this review?

Review - Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy

Do you like Final Fantasy? Do you like music games? If you said yes to both, I'm sure you've heard about Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy already. Read on to see whether if this game is worth the time saving the crystals, or if you should save your money.

Review - New Super Mario Bros. 2

New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the sequel to the Nintendo DS's New Super Mario Bros. and Nintendo Wii's New Super Mario Bros. Wii... obviously. What did Nintendo do to make New Super Mario Bros. 2 a new experience from that of the other two games, and how does it fare as a game on its own?

Review - Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward

The sequel to the first game that I reviewed on this blog, 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, is finally out. Does Virtue's Last Reward live up to the grand story telling of 999, or does it fall short in achieving the quality that the first game offered? Most of all, is this game right for you? Read on to hear my thoughts on the game, now that I have finished it. Of course, my reviews are spoiler free, so read on safely.

Review - Coin Dozer

Here's a casual time-waster, Coin Dozer for the iOS and Android. If you've already read my post about going to Dave and Busters for the first time, then you know that I have played an actual coin dozer game. So how good is this app in simulating the gameplay digitally?

Tapjoy - Well, first off, let me point out that I got this game off of Tapjoy from Dead Trigger to get some additional gold in-game. If any other app games you play uses Tapjoy, you can get Coin Dozer off of Tapjoy for whatever game you'd like. In fact, I got some gold for downloading and playing it, and some more for reaching level 4 as a second offer from Tapjoy.

Review - Dead Trigger

I never thought that I would be playing a First Person Shooter on a mobile device. But after seeing Dead Trigger, I figured I'd give it a try and see how good it is. I mean, why not? The game is free now.

Review - Deity Wars + Tips

Here's another pseudo-card-game that was released maybe a month or so ago in the US, called Deity Wars. I was doing some research on Rage of Bahamut, and someone mentioned how this new game is very similar to Rage of Bahamut, except better. I still haven't played Rage of Bahamut, but considering how good Deity Wars seems to be, I will most likely be sticking with Deity Wars. The only other game in the genre I have experienced is Dark Summoner, so I will make several comparisons with that however.

Review - Dark Summoner + Tips

After getting my smartphone, I felt the need to play some game that has a progressive aspect that I can play once in a while to build myself up. Naturally, a casual RPG title seemed appropriate, so I tried searching for RPG games that were available on Google Play. What I found wasn't really much of an RPG, but it was also a title that I kept seeing in ads on some of the other games I play. They were Rage of Bahamut and Dark Summoner. Both seemed to share similar concepts, and I decided to give Dark Summoner a try first, to see how it plays out.

Review - Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Verizon)

So it's been 3 weeks since I've gotten my Galaxy Nexus phone, and I figured I should give a report on my usage for my new phone that I have been waiting for for so long. It's been keeping me entertained, that's for sure.

Review - Patapon

Patapon for the PlayStation Portable is a rhythm game... but not quite like the other rhythm games out there. It certainly has some RPG elements, but it is still very different from Sequence that I have reviewed before. So what makes this game special, and how does it fare against the other games out there?

Review - Diablo III

Diablo III is a game that many people have been waiting for since the announcement a long time ago, but without a release date for the longest time. Now that it's finally released, was it worth the wait? Or does it not meet people's expectations after the popularity of Diablo II?

Review - Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future is the last game of the first trilogy. How good are the puzzles that the game offers? And are the adventures of Professor Layton and Luke an interesting one? Also, how does it compare with the previous two titles?

Review - Kirby Mass Attack

Kirby games has always been a strong part of my childhood as one of the franchises that I really enjoyed playing. Since then, I have tried nearly every Kirby game out there. However, some games like Tilt'n'Tumble and Canvas Curse were very gimmicky and not as fun as the main Kirby games like Super Star Ultra. So how does this title compare to the other Kirby games?

Review - Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

After the krazy repairs I did on my DS Lite, I decided to pick up Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks in place of Skyward Sword which I missed out on, despite it releasing on my birthday. >_>; After having completed the game, here is my review for Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

Review - Gyromancer

It's funny, I've talked several times about games of other genres that include RPG elements, and how much I enjoy them. Gyromancer is another game that I've played that combines a popular puzzle game with some RPG elements that I most certainly enjoyed as well. So what makes this game special, and why did it go unmentioned in this blog for so long?

Review - Star Ocean: Second Evolution

Star Ocean: Second Evolution is the PSP port of the old Play Station game, Star Ocean: The Second Story. So what makes this port worthwhile if you have played Star Ocean: The Second Story, and if you haven't, is this a good opportunity to pick up what you've missed out on?

Review - Just Cause 2

Just Cause 2 is an Action Adventure, Sandbox game in a modern setting, like the popular Grand Theft Auto series. Although there are no "cheat codes" like what GTA has, you get access to an aerial black market that will transport you weapons and vehicles via helicopter, and also allow upgrades for them provided you have collected enough upgrade parts scattered across the entire country of Panau, a series of islands in southeast Asia.

Review - Duke Nukem Forever DLC

This is a review for the additional campaign for Duke Nukem Forever which is bought separately as DownLoad Content (DLC). If you would like to see a review for the main campaign of Duke Nukem Forever, check out my previous review found here.

Review - Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. The Golden Sun title that many fans have been waiting for ever since their last game on the Game Boy Advance. How does this new sequel compare to the previous two games, and what effect did the huge gap between the releases have on the game?
