Review | Super Smash Brothers: Ultimate - World of Smash

So here we are, Nintendo have released Super Smash Brothers: Ultimate, the latest in their smash-hit, company-wide fighting game series. The hype leading up to this game was intense, with this being billed as the definitive game in the franchise, with more stages and characters than ever before. This is also rumoured to be Sakurai's last go with this particular property, his swansong, as it were.

So whilst the Super Smash Brothers games have always been high-quality, does this particular title live up to the sheer amount of hype it generated?

Review | SoulCalibur VI - Honing the Blade

So here it it, the latest entry in the SoulCalibur series, part of a franchise that suffered some pretty devastating blows with the last couple of installments.  Now I ask myself, can this game restore the series to its former glory, or is it simply one last gasp before it disappears for good?  In this video I will attempt to find the answer.

Octopath Traveler | Review ... Sorta

Octopath Traveler is Square-Enix's latest RPG, and was recently released for the Nintendo switch, and actually had quiet a bit of hype behind it, at least amongst RPG enthusiasts.

So the question is, does it live up to that hype? Well, read on to find out...

One thing note before we begin properly, is that I haven't actually completed the game yet; however, I have sank more than a few hours into it, so feel that I am able to give an opinion. I might do a follow up post if my opinion changes once I reach the endgame, but at the moment I really don't foresee that happening. So for now, I guess you could consider this a provisional review if you wanted.

SDCC2018 | Titans Trailer

So … DC dropped the trailer for their Titans web series at San Diego Comic Con, and here I am about to give my thoughts on it, so beware of opinions.

First, let's give a little history of Titans, or to give them there original title, the Teen Titans. They were one of the original sidekick teams, original featuring the likes of Robin, Wondergirl, and Kid Flash; although, the most popular version is the one from the 1980s, by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. This is the version that was made famous by the cartoon series in the 2000s, comprising of Robin, Raven, Cyborg Beast Boy, and Starfire.

This is the version that this series seems to be based on, except that they switch out Cyborg for Hawk and dove.

So how does it look?
