Valkryst started his cosplay feature (which he’s late on right now…), and the contest announced last time was cancelled because we literally had no response out of it, but we’ll do something else later on.

DS Review – Dragon Ball: Origins

Ah, Dragon Ball. Atari just can’t stop milking the franchise. But they come to us this time with something a little different. Instead of going with Dragon Ball Z, they bring us part of the original Dragon Ball adventure. Yeah, I was surprised when they announced that. Even in the NES/SNES era, Dragon Ball games mostly concentrated on Z (with a few exceptions), so this was quite welcome.

Now I still wasn’t sure what to expect from the game itself.
So let’s see if it’s actually any good.

PC review – Spiderman: Web of Shadows

Web of Shadows? more like Web of Fails

Hi everyone.

Well,  one of the games I was really hoping would be good, because the videos made it look really fun and all. I mean, it looks like a Spiderman game should look like, it seems to feel like Spiderman… But actually playing it… *shrugs*
Now I’m playing the PC version of the game, so I can’t comment on the console versions. But this is really a big disappointment. (just a note here, I didn’t think of taking screenshots while playing, and I’m not going back in the game to take some).

Read on for specifics.

Video game-based Movie Review: Onechanbara

Video game movies tend to suck ass. There are a few exceptions of course, but overall, for some reason movie makers can’t do any good when it comes to making video game movies.
But can you really go wrong with a movie with hot japanese girls in bikinis/schoolgirl outfits killing zombies with katanas that also parodies everything anime/zombie flick/action movie? The answer is no, you can’t go wrong with that. And that is really all Onechanbara is about.

DS Review: Kirby Super Star Ultra

Hey everyone, Jobocan here, and bringing you the first review on Save Point!

Kirby has always been one of Nintendo’s really big names, and calling Kirby Super Star on the SNES one of the best games on a system would be quite the understatement. When I heard that the game was getting ported on the DS, I was really happy about it, and thought that taking one of the best SNES games and modifying it for the DS would be one of the best things ever.
Well after playing through most of it (96% to be exact) I must say I was almost right.
