Final Fantasy Type-0 Review

That awesome Final Fantasy game you wanted but never cam out in English, it’s coming next year but I thought’d I’d take a look at the original version to see what the original Type-0 was like to play.

Final Fantasy Type-0 is a very daring game, aesthetically nothing like any previous game, a third person tactical JRPG with a few inspirations taken from Final Fantasy VIII. It’s a huge, but rather hard game that tales a fair amount of getting used to, especially the controls.

This Final Fantasy Type-0 Review is one of the longest Fresh Perspective Reviews I’ve done in a while.. but it is a big game!

The Marvellous Miss Take Review

The Marvellous Miss Take does what few games are currently doing, putting a strong female in the lead roll. Though you’ll see a fair few inspirations from Lara Croft and the gameplay is clearly inspired by the early Metal Gear Solid games.

The Marvellous Miss Take is a stunning little game that plays well, though perhaps under-developed on the story side as well as perhaps taking a marvelous miss step in not having a much humor as they perhaps could have in a game such as this… it could have easily been an amazing parody game.

Is Hatred going too far? – (Discussing Context and Intent in Gaming)

Does Hatred offend you from you saw in the trailer? Chances are given what else is on the market you might be being a little hypocritical, even if your correct.

In Hatred; context is every thing, and without knowing the intent of the developers its hard to really know if its trying to make an ironic point (especially when compared to something like The Evil Within) or just pushing boundries for the sake or it.. or the sake of easy publicity.

Attack On Titan / Shingeki no Kyojin Anime Review

Attack on Titan or Shingeki no Kyojin is a brilliant, if hard anime to watch. Following Erin Yeager and his dreams of killing all the Titans that have plague mankind.

The Attack on Titan Anime is graphic and brutal and this review doesn’t hold back on showing how graphic it can be, though the footage will be out of context so I highly suggest giving Attack on Titan the anime a proper watch.

Maze Runner Movie Review

Maze Runner is another film based off a young adult novel, however this film stands apart as Maze Runner has a far more interesting feel to it with great suspense and characters.

My Maze Runner Review looks at cinematography in particular as the Maze is almost a character itself and looks amazing on screen. Overall your going to find Maze Runner a joy to watch and I may review the books in the future as well, this film has certainly made me want to read them.

Maze Runner may draw a fair few comparisons to the Hunger Games, Divergent and Harry Potter, but it has its own unique twist so go and see it!
