Review: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
Platform: PS3/Xbox 360
Price: £29.99 from Rice Digital (prices may vary elsewhere)
Release Date: Out Now

In advance of writing this review it occurred to me what sort of a “theme” would be appropriate for describing Persona 4 Arena Ultimax (hereafter referred as just Ultimax). That theme would be “The Best and Worst of Both Worlds”. After all, the story is about two groups of Persona users uniting a second time to stop a world ending threat, with all of their individual good and bad qualities on display as they fight shadowy duplicates and overcome personal trials. But it’s more than that, as we also have Arc System Works and Atlus once again collaborating on this sequel to Persona 4 Arena, and bringing their respective talents to the table. Ultimax, serving as the follow up, was an opportunity for Atlus and Arc Sys to build on the somewhat shaky foundation they had previously laid. Question is: just what did they build with it?

Review: Cherry Tree High I! My! Girls! (PC)

~Laugh, and the world laughs with you~

Cherry Tree High is a much loved slice-of-life adventure game released on PC a few years ago. Its humorous characters & story, coupled with its simulation gameplay that allowed you to partake in activities, meant it was a hit amongst doujin fans in the west. Some folk though didn't appreciate how the release was westernised, and now we have the de-westernised release via Nyu Media with an added surprise. A short & sweet visual novel based sequel has launched alongside the re-release and that's what we are going to take a look at today.
