Quick Import Reviews: Gundam Breaker

Gundam Breaker Review:

Developer: Namco Bandai

Publisher: Namco Bandai Games

Release: 27th June 2013 (JP/PS3) 31st October (JP/Vita)

Probably one of the most interesting Japanese releases in 2013 was Gundam Breaker. A half Gundam, half hunting game which brought different aspects from Monster Hunter, Ragnarok Odyssey and Soul Sacrifice wrapped up into one with a hint of Dynasty Warriors Gundam in the mix too. This is definitely an interesting take on the Gundam Franchise that quite a few people haven looking forward to which involve the ability to mix and match their Gundam preferences is something that has been talked about and this is the first game to make it happen.

EAG 2014 Interview: Lauren Harrison from Namco Bandai on Animal Kaiser

In the middle of a busy day at EAG, Commander Nippon and I ran into something we haven’t seen since we were in Japan: a card terminal game, very common in Japan but almost non-existent in the west. Games like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Idolmaster, Love Plus and Dragon Ball Z have all had arcade games based around their collectible cards, but none of those saw a western release. Needless to say we were quite surprised to see the machine; not only that, but it appeared to be in mid-translation from Japanese to English. Luckily for us, Lauren Harrison from Namco Bandai was on the scene to give us more information about the game.

Xynnia Reviews Video Games Amino: A Gaming Community With a Difference

Video Games Amino is a portable gaming community. And by that I don’t actually mean a community for players of portable games (like, say, DS London or our very own Portable Gaming Centre) – I mean a gaming community that’s literally portable. If you have a portable iOS device like an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, I recommend taking a look at the Amino apps. I’ll be focusing primarily on the Video Games Amino in this review, but there is an Amino app for almost every hobby and each one is free to download and use.

Quick Review: House of the Dead 4

House of the Dead 4 PS3 Quick Review

To be honest, House of the Dead 4 is a pretty simple game. At its heart it’s a rail shooter, and it wears its heart on its sleeve. This game is a direct port of the 2005 House of the Dead 4 which broke into arcades as one of the first high-definition arcade games of the era. 

EAG 2014 Firest Impressions: Aliens

First Impressions: Aliens

Ah another Alien game, another rail shooter. Damn, I've already played Transformers, can’t be any worse than that, and to be fair it wasn't. But it was that far off, if it wasn't for Transformers however I’d be damn annoyed about this game.
