Valkyria Chronicles - An Old War, a Little Bit Different

Copyright © SEGA


Sega announced a new Valkyria Chronicles game recently, so to celebrate I thought I'd do a review of the original game. The version I'm playing is the remastered re-release version that game out for the Playstation 4, and PC, with all the DLC included. Although, I don't expect there is any real difference to the original.

Since Valkyria Chronicles 4 is the first home console game since the original (with the others having been released on PSP), this will hopefully give me a little insight on what to expect from the upcoming game. Not to mention re-introducing me to a series that I haven't played for a good while. Does this game still hold up after almost ten years?

So without further ado, let's get started.

As always, this is just a small warning of possible spoilers before you proceed.

Justice League (2017) - The DCEU Needs a Hero

Here it is, Warner Brothers big DC Comics team-up, featuring some of the biggest name heroes in comic books; Justice League, which is a name that any fan of superhero comics should recognise.

The DC Cinematic Universe started poorly with the controversial Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice, but audiences received some in the shape of the recent Wonder Woman film. So the question is, can Justice League turn this into an upward trend, or is DC's leading lady still the only bright spot in this attempt at a shared universe?

As always, there may be some spoilers within. Although, I'll try to save them until the end this time.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Cyberpunk Security

This week I thought I'd do another retro review, and take a look at something that is often considered one of the hallmarks of anime; at least in the western sphere. So, today we'll be taking a look at Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, a series almost anyone who is into anime has probably heard of.

As usual, there may be some small spoilers beyond this point.

Ghost of Tsushima - A Little Light Speculation

During Paris Games Week, Sony announced a new IP from developers Sucker Punch, the game studio behind the inFamous, and Sly Cooper games. The game in question is called Ghosts of Tsushima, and I thought I would attempt a little light analysis of it.
