Review: A Highland Song

Out of all of the (probably too many at this point) games that I play, there are two genres that I always get excited for: rhythm games, and games that draw emotions out of my cold dead heart. One is a fun way to jam out to great music while testing my button pressings skills,

Review: Hello Kitty and Friends Happiness Parade

Sanrio is a company that, in many respects, requires no introduction. You would be hard pressed to find someone who didn’t at least have vague knowledge of the existence of Hello Kitty, the company’s most popular marketing mascot. This goes double if said person was around throughout the 1990s, when the character had a particular

Review: Invector: Rhythm Galaxy

Rhythm games are basically my lifeblood. I own more than one person probably should, invested way too much money into an arcade style controller for one of them, and occasionally slack off from work by visiting the local Round 1 arcade to play some for an hour or two. With the state of the genre

Preview: God of Rock

Rhythm games are kind of my passion. If I’m not busy pouring time into a JRPG (or wasting away my days in Final Fantasy XIV), you can usually find me jamming away in some sort of musical experience.

If there’s one thing I love about the indie scene, it’s the emphasis on the bizarre and the novel, even

Review: Hatsune Miku Project Diva Mega Mix

I’ve been a fan of the Project Diva series of rhythm games for nearly a decade now, ever since I picked up the PS3 release of Project Diva F back in 2013. I’d never even heard of Vocaloid or Hatsune Miku at that point, picking the game up on a whim as I wanted another

Review: Freedom Finger

Shoot-em-ups and bullet hells are really one of the most basic kinds of games one can make. Give the player something that shoots bullets, throw a bunch of enemies on screen that attack back, bing bang boom, you have yourself a shoot-em-up. Hell, one of the first programming classes I took back in college had

Review: Giraffe and Annika

It’s not anything new in media in general, but you do have to admit that it’s kind of satisfying to see something merged together in a result that is enjoyable in some way. One mashup that comes to mind to me pretty quickly are the music stages from Rayman Legends and how it seamlessly combined
