Review of Summon Nights: Twin Age

Uppfinnarn — Thu, 13 May 2010 12:37:51 +0000

This game is set in a world where everything is caused by Spirits, the official language is cliché and all names seems to be just a bunch of scrambled letters thrown together. Everyone also dress worse than in Final Fantasy X, and no one seems to have put any care into either the character design or the voice acting.

There are two main characters, Aldo and Reiha, who somehow gets windled up in a nonsensical story involving spirits. That’s [...]

Smash64 Characters: Pikachu

Pikachu, all our most hated annoying yellow mouse from Pokémon… Who doesn’t know him? Pikachu goes from being useless junk of a Pokémon to being one of the most overpowered characters in SSB64!

Pikachu was initially the annoying yellow mouse who stole the title of Pokémon’s mascot from Clefairy. Unlike Clefairy however, Pikachu is completely useless in the Pokémon games. He is fast, but all other stats are low. His “Pika-Pikaaah!” was cute the first season of the Anime, then [...]

I’m going to start with my favorite character: Captain Falcon.

Captain Falcon comes from some random failure of a racing game called F-Zero. I’ve never heard of that game, so It’s most likely not worth playing, so Captain Falcon’s Backstory isn’t [...]

Review: Disgaea: Hour of Darkness

Strategy… RPGs… Are about to… Get a… Serious… Kick in the… ASS! – Trailer

[review pros="Great story, incredibly deep gameplay" cons="Hard as hell" score="100"]

What I’m reviewing here isn’t actually Hour of Darkness, but rather the DS port Disgaea DS. There is also a PSP port with the lame name Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness. I couldn’t get my hands on the PlayStation 2 original.

The best description i can come up with to describe this masterpiece is: Take the Final Fantasy Tactics series, make [...]
