E3 First Impressions: Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix & Castle of Illusion

Posted on June 13, 2013

kh1.5-impressionsE3 has been quite the experience so far, with so many companies exhibiting their newest games it’s difficult to try and fit in all you want to do. But as of the demos I’ve played in the past few days, I would have to say my top vote goes for Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix. The Kingdom Hearts franchise definitely holds some sentimental value for me and after pining for Final Mix for so long, it will finally be released abroad. I was a little skeptical at first, after all, it had been over a decade since Final Mix had been released in Japan.

The Dark Knight Rises Plot Holes & Frustrations [SPOILER HEAVY]

Posted on July 23, 2012

The Dark Knight Rises is arguably the most anticipated film in the past four years, and rightfully so. It brings to life one of the most cherished superheroes of all time, and it also concludes one of the most successful film trilogies in history. But for reasons I can't even to begin to fathom, people have been labeling this a masterpiece. Really? Sure, the action set pieces are visually astonishing, and Hans Zimmer's score is fantastic, but this is hardly a masterfully done piece of cinema. Like The Dark Knight before it, there's a ton of inconsistencies, plot holes and horrible cuts and transitions between scenes.

MY PERSPECTIVE: Retake Mass Effect 3, The Ending & Bioware’s Response

Posted on May 10, 2012

The power of choices. Choices begets Freedom. And Freedom is liberating. Freedom is intoxicating. Empowering. But what happens when that Freedom is taken away from you? Pretty damn shitty, that's what. So let's set the record straight: Bioware screwed up. Big time. And everyone all across the grand internet kingdoms know this. Why? Mainly because of the vocalizations from its outspoken fan base – you don't just give gamers the ability to shape their own epic saga across three games in the Mass Effect franchise, only to diminish the significance of such choices near the end.
