  • Iron Man 3

    ,

    This was pretty damn good, especially that big action sequence at the end, with Stark jumping from Iron Man to Iron Man. I also liked what they did with the Mandarin – who cares that it’s so different from the comics, it was a neat twist. I think this is my favorite of the 3…

  • Theatrhythm Final Fantasy

    —

    ,

    I played a bunch of this game when it came out on iOS, and bought a few (pricey) packs for it, but when I saw the original 3DS version on sale on Play-Asia, I decided to pick it up, and I’m sure glad I did. The joy here is of course in playing a rhythm…

  • Killzone: Mercenary Beta

    ,

    This week if you’re a PS+ member you can download and play the multiplayer beta of Killzone: Mercenary for Vita. I’m not much of an FPS guy – much less Killzone, of which I think I’ve only played a bit of the first game – but it’s pretty impressive to see what they’ve been able…

  • Defiance

    ,

    Because I like the TV series, I’d been wanting to play the Defiance MMO for a while now – had heard that it wasn’t amazing, but good fun – and I finally started playing it last night (recently bought it for $20 on Play-Asia, but it’s also now available for that price through the PSN…

  • SCROLL

    ,

    I don’t usually write about magazines here – I do that over at The Magaziner – but I did really want to recommend the latest issue (10) of the self-published video game magazine SCROLL. It’s a fantastic look back at the Boku no Natsuyasumi (My Summer Vacation) series. As I wrote the other day, I…

  • Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time

    —

    ,

    As with everyone else on the planet right now, I’ve been playing the just released Plants vs. Zombies 2: It’s About Time on iOS. The biggest change this time is of course that it follows the free-to-play model, and so far I’m not having a problem with it – and from what I’ve been reading,…

  • Trillium

    —

    ,

    There really is a resurgence with the Vertigo imprint (or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention), and after The Wake, now I’m really loving the new series by Jeff Lemire, Trillium. I’m a huge fan of Lemire’s work, from his initial indie output, to the fantastic Sweet Tooth (his last Vertigo series), and so it’s…

  • Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

    —

    ,

    A friend kept saying how good this was, so I decided to watch it, and yes, it is indeed one of the better DC animated films. It’s the storyline that sets up the reboot of the DC Universe from a couple of years ago, and although I had read the original comic series, it was…
