Saints Row does indeed have a jump button that plays a good bit into gameplay, especially with the side activities

As cool and likely as it would be for KH3 to feature a lot of the newer villains, I don't think they're going to do another "ultimate alliance of evil" again. At least not in the same vein as Kingdom Hearts 1 had. KH1 used maleficent and the gang as a stand in villain until the big twist at...

I feel the same. Maybe that's why I play certain games and just feel like something's missing. Jumping - and further, environments that require jumping, outside of platformers - Was a big part of making the game worlds feel alive and interactive in a lot of PS2 era games. With Context specific...

More recently, Remember Me. As much as i loved it, I feel like the extreme linearity and short length didn't give me my money's worth. Even the combo lab i feel could be improved by being able to create more of your own actual button combinations instead of switching pressen types within...

I'm disappointed to hear they took out character switching, but Tabata's openness with the development is refreshing. I'm glad they're getting the disappointing news out of the way and taking feedback from fans. Hopefully this will be the brunt of the bad news and more good news is coming. I'm...

I'm excited! Really happy they're doing a PS4 version as well. I was hoping to see some of the actual in-game art style but at least we got to see the protag.

Recently I decided to try a game from a good few years ago called Outland. I don't know if it's a lack of marketing or what but I'm honestly shocked that nobody seems to remember or talk about it, at least on a cursory look. This is turning out to be one of the best 2d side-scrollers i've ever...

Biggest offender that came to mind was Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean. I am so thankful they decided to give the option to cut off voice acting, becase every performance in the game is grating and sounds like the microphone was buried in a sofa. Even with performances that...

I'm from South Carolina so naturally everything is fried. I've never seen them anywhere else so i assume they're local but fried green tomatoes and fried pickles make me wretch.

Even if you know about the White Phosphorus scene there's a lot more to see in the game. At this point it probably won't have the same shock value as when it came out but it's still a valuable game to play if only for the story aspect. Though the gameplay itself is a little irritating at times I...

Saints Row 2 is definitely my favorite in recent years. It has a world that feels alive and real and the detail volition went into to create it is amazing. I've put probably hundreds of hours into it and every time I play it I discover a new little secret that i never saw before. It's the...

I'll admit i went into IX expecting a cutesy story and forgettable characters and mechanics but I was absolutely blown away. It has by far the best character development of any Final Fantasy I've played. It's a mystery to me why nobody really talks about this game.

Tekken 6's custmization. Not only is it ridiculously expensive to buy anything, but the customization itself is a clusterfuck. In order to get a certain hairstyle you have to buy the corresponding base and three other pieces to the hairstyle and a lot of times i've had to go back and forth...

From the Half a season I watched of it it was very well written. It was probably one of the most emotionally draining shows I've watched in some time, I was consistently on edge waiting for someone to die. I can't speak for the rest of the show really but if it follows suit from what I've seen...

I don't think it's that they're weak to fire, but the fire spell is an easy way to get rid of a bunch of them at once. But forreal though, fuck demyx. Most annoying battle of the game.
