Lumines Remastered Review

JettLeave a comment

I missed Lumines in its 2004 heyday. While I have since grown up to embrace a platform-agnostic lifestyle, this game came out during a time when I was a fierce Nintendo loyalist and wanted nothing to do with anything associated with the PlayStation brand. So much so, that I actually got a PSP for free and sold it a few days later before even opening the box. Despite seeming to be a game right up my alley, this was caught squarely in the crosshairs of my overzealous fandom.

Fast forward to 2018 and Lumines finally makes its way to a Nintendo console, among other platforms to receive Lumines Remastered. Not to say that I wouldn’t have played it on something else, but the Switch seems like a great place to play this specific game due to its pick-up-and play nature and how well it could work as a portable experience. Does this blast from the past still shine in modern times?

God of War Review

JettLeave a comment

I’ll always love that first God of War game. Even though I experienced it on the PlayStation 3 years after its original release, I was wowed by the game’s balance of frenetic action, bombastic setpieces, Greek mythology, and light puzzle solving to keep players on their toes. However, the formula got stale after a while, and issues with Kratos’ always angry character design became too hard to ignore. Though the series would add five other games to its catalogue before going on hiatus, I never got very far in II or III and I skipped the rest.

Had Kratos never come back, I would have been okay with that. His first game made an impact on me that I’ll always cherish and I thought that was good enough. 2018’s God of War proves that sentiment wrong as the Greek God returns in a wholly new experience that is bigger and better than any game in the franchise before it.

Ed Revealed in Street Fighter V

JettLeave a comment

Though news of Ed’s appearance as the next DLC character in Street Fighter V has been leaked on a number of fronts, he finally makes his formal debut in this trailer released by Capcom.

Having made his debut in Balrog’s Street Fighter IV ending as a kid, Ed is rapidly aging due to harnessing Psycho Power, hence why he looks like a full-grown adult now. Beyond having access to special energy, he’s trained under Balrog, giving him a boxing-style flair to his approach.

Ed looks awesome. Say what you will about his default costume, his fighting style looks like a blast to play as. Haven’t picked up Street Fighter V in quite some time, but this is a character that I definitely want to invest some time into.

For those who have access to the upcoming online beta, he will be playable this week. After that, he’ll be available in the near future. Get that fight money ready for one more cool character on the roster!
