Review: Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart (PSTV/PSVita)

As the Hyperdimension Neptunia series continues to grow in popularity, it was always going to be a matter of time before the other goddesses were going to get their chance in the spotlight.

Review : Magical Beat (PSVita)

Does it beat the competition or is it just tone deaf?

Magical Beat for Vita by Arc System Works is a rhythm based falling blocks puzzler with a fighting twist, taking its cues from games such as Tetris, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo and Lumines.

Review - Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late (Ps3)

Otaku Review: Under Night In Birth Exe: Late

Platform: PS3

Price: £30 from Amazon.co.uk

Release Date:   Out Now

Review code provided by NIS Europe

Note: This is a re-run of my previous review of the Japanese version of Under Night In Birth Exe: Late from Sept 2014. The only difference between the Japanese version released around then and the EU version available now is the addition of English text and voice acting, and as such the review still stands as it originally did.

What makes a good fighting game?

Opinions on this will vary. Some people say a colourful cast of characters. Some might say a variety of features such as a full story mode or even a Streets of Rage inspired affair. Perhaps a plethora of unlockables, concept art and other goodies?
