One Piece is a Japanese anime television series adapted from the manga of the same.. The story follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body gained the properties of rubber (Think Mr. Fantastic doing martial arts) after unintentionally eating a Devil Fruit. With his crew of pirates, named the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy explores the Grand Line in search of the world’s ultimate treasure known as ...
I was not familiar with what One Piece was other than seeing the occasional artwork, cover, or game released every once in awhile. So for those like me not used to the source material, as best I can tell, it goes like this.
The sweet smell of grass in the spring. Flowers starting to bud and bloom. The crisp evening air. The crack of a baseball bat, and the roar of the crowd. It’s Springtime — well, in any other year than 2020. And in MLB The Show 20, it’s still baseball season. In many ways, this year’s Show builds upon the games that have come before it. It features roughly the same gameplay and roughly the same modes, just ...
So there I am, a battle scarred worn down warrior, face to face with a giant horse-like creature easily 5 times my size. In his right hand a massive cleaver larger than myself, easily capable of taking me out with just a few hits. I have a choice to make, do I go after him with my massive Scythe or do I go after him with Dual-Wielding swords… I choose the Scythe and I charge into battle, within 30 seconds I am ...
I’m going to take a step back from reviewing Monster Energy Supercross 3 on the PS4, and let my 3-year-old give her thoughts on the latest game in the series from Milestone. “The obstacle course looks beautiful!” Insert “track” for “obstacle course” and you can see where she’s coming from. The game is a looker, as each of its predecessors has been. The tracks look great from the beginning, whether you’re ...
Dreams, a brilliant game creator, social experiment, quite literally what may be the best example of games can be art that has ever existed. At face value Dreams has you take control of an “imp”, basically your avatar that is used to interact with the environment in Dreams, it can be used to move objects, possess characters to take control of them, use as basically a mouse to help create stages, so ...
It’s a warm Saturday night in the summer. The dirt is flying as 20 sprint cars slide around the track in a perpetual left-hand turn, jockeying for position in front of local fans and family members. The motors are a constant drone, leaving your ears ringing while the dirt and dust gets in your eyes; leaving a gritty feeling in your teeth. In video games, that smalltown dirt-track feeling has been missing for a ...
When I was younger, I actually remember my father of all people, enjoying DBZ. I would often see him watching them on Cartoon Network, to be honest I was intrigued but never quite a fan. Many folks have told me it’s better to not watch them on TV, etc etc. But that was the exposure I had, I did like the action and story, however it was painfully slow and dragged out in twenty minute bursts of people ...
Few games this generation have been as ambitious and disappointing as Death Stranding. The title had a ton of hype, as it was being developed by Hideo Kojima, and was starring the Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus. Just on those two points, and knowing there would be an epic world to explore, I was hooked from the day it was announced. Sadly – in my opinion at least – Death Stranding became enamored with itself, ...
What is really great about PlayStation VR is that Sony and other publishers can release less expensive titles onto the platform that are simple, but have a great impact on those playing. BOX VR is one of those games, a great rhythm based experience that really is a solid workout. While not as deep of a rhythm game as Beat Sabre, this gets pretty darn close for those looking to get a solid workout while playing a ...
I think I only played a demo of MediEvil on the Playstation 1. I don’t think I’ve ever played the full game. So I wasn’t especially excited for the remake for Playstation 4. I did play the demo and thought it was alright. I didn’t expect to review the final game though. Enter Sony Interactive Entertainment Canada, who gave GamesReviews.com a review code for the game. I was picked to ...
In Concrete Genie, you play as a boy who draws monsters and scenery on walls to bring a town back to life. If you read our preview of the game, you already know that the game is magical and has a certain charm to it. But does that magic and charm last the whole game? Is Concrete Genie worth checking out? Here is our review of Concrete Genie for the Playstation 4! Note: Concrete Genie includes VR modes that we…
When the publisher of The Angry Birds 2 Movie: Under Pressure VR asked if I wanted to review a copy of Angry Birds VR on PlayStation VR, without looking up trailers or videos, I was pretty sure I knew what this was going to be. With no movie knowledge, I figured I was in for Angry Birds, but in VR. You know, launching birds at structures and pigs. Well, I was wrong, but it all worked out in the end.…
Final Fantasy VIII is the most underrated FF game on the Playstation 1. The game tried new things and those new things were quickly done away with when the next game came. Many people did not like FFVIII at all during the Playstation 1 era. I loved it. And now Final Fantasy VIII is back as Final Fantasy VIII Remastered for the Playstation 4. What do I think of the game now? Is it still worth checking out? Final ...
Gaming can be an expensive undertaking these days. Even if you stick to one console, your hard earned money will slip away as fast as you let it. Between the sheer magnitude of games available, monthly subscriptions and accessories, there is no shortage of places to spend your money in the world of gaming. Luckily for us consumers, there is also no shortage of ways for you to save money, either. One of the best ...
If you’ve read my previews 1, 2, and 3 of Dragon Quest Builders 2, then you know I’ve been playing it a lot and enjoying it. And now its time for my review of the game! How good is Dragon Quest Builders 2? Let’s find out! Dragon Quest Builders 2 has a really good story. Its really the characters in the game that make it so good. Malroth is quiete a character but so is just about everyone ...
Taking the game of golf to virtual reality is a no brainer, and I'm surprised it took Sony so long to bring Everybody's Golf over to their VR juggernaut. The problem with VR golf titles is how well the game works in conjunction with the physics of a sport, notably here, golf. How well does this work, and do we recommend it? Let's dive in.
When it comes to elite controllers, Microsoft hit it out of the park when they launched their high end controller a few years ago. Despite the high asking price of about 179.99, the controller was incredibly hard to find upon release, and people loved the ability to swap parts, and create a control specifically for them. Microsoft proved you can release an overly expensive item, and have success in the ...
When I first loaded up Days Gone, I was instantly excited about the premise of the game, the mode of transportation - despite how much I hate riding motorcycles in games - and the arc the game seemingly promised me early on. And during my 35ish hours so far - full disclosure, we have not finished Days Gone, but will in the next few days - it's been an up and down ride that provides more ups than downs. How does ...
Another spring season means another year of Major League Baseball, and outside of death and taxes, you can always count on a MLB The Show experience to go along with opening day. While many sports franchises rise and fall between safe bet releases and games that push the envelope, MLB The Show has been on a steady rise for a number of years now. While 2019 marks their most ‘safe’ release in the last number of ...
Over the past month or so we've been working through Dragon Quest XI, and have been publishing our thoughts over 5 chapters, detailing the story, game play, characters, and more. Today we put those all together and give this game the score it deserves! Check it out!
Insomniac has created some really great experiences in the past, and when word spread that they would be the developer behind a new Spider-Man game exclusive to the PS4, fans were pretty excited about the prospects. Developers of the fantastic - although perhaps under appreciated Sunset Overdrive - took a lot of what made that game fantastic, and brought it over to the Marvel version of New York city. Does the ...
Bomberman has been a household name for well over a decade now, and the little bomb dropping crew is back with an update on the previously released Super Bomberman R title. Now with all the added DLC from the original, Super Bomberman R Shiny Edition has hit the PS4, and those looking for some Bomberman action are in luck! Let's dive in!
When Ubisoft first announced their brand new franchise titled The Crew, perspective fans were painted a picture of cruising across the United States, going from major city to major city, and enjoying everything in between. Console owners were promised a wide variety of cars, a great deep story, and plenty of races and events to take part in. And while Ubisoft delivered on some of those promises, what ultimately ...
Just last month, Sony and Santa Monica Studios wow'd us with the release of God of War, a reboot of the popular franchise on modern consoles that not only surpassed review expectations, but smashed sales records as well. To think that Sony could release another mega hit the next month was probably a pipe dream for many PlayStation owners, but I'm here to tell you they delivered. Detroit: Become Human is another ...
To fully appreciate a South Park game, you need to have a decent appreciation for the long running TV show, and inappropriate jokes. The Fractured But Whole is a dirty, inappropriate joke filled adventure that, if you take it to seriously, you will miss out on all the fun. For those easily offended, take a hard pass on this experience. But for those looking for a good laugh, despite personal beliefs - this is ...
Outside of Telltale titles were the story is king and gameplay is secondary, there are few games available today that blend both well, at the same time. God of War has done this, has blown my mind, and is definitely an early candidate for Game of the Year. With characters you will care about, a story that is interesting throughout, and a combat system - although it takes time to master - that is a lot of fun, ...
MLB The Show 18 is breaking any major new ground in their year-to-year baseball outing, but does slightly build on The Show 17 in enough ways to make picking up the latest iteration money well spent. While the new features brought into the game are mostly cosmetic, upping the games presentation, they do add value that will be important for those who likely pick up each iteration anyways. Those looking for a few ...
Japanese Roll Playing Games go with PlayStation like butter on bread, but not all JRPG experiences are the same, in terms of storyline, game mechanics, or overall quality. In 2018 - and when compared to what was released in 2017 - I firmly believe that Ni No Kuni 2 rises to the top, as one of the premier JRPG titles currently available on the PS4. While there are some questions around the games overall ...
The Dynasty Warriors franchise has a huge following, and although I haven't bee playing the series for long - was drawn in during the Zelda remix days when Hyrule Warriors was released - I've come to enjoy the one-vs-hundreds model that the game seems to make work so well. In previous iterations of the franchise, players would prep for their battles and then jump in for an overview menu, dealing with each fight ...
