Q.U.B.E. Director’s Cut Review

Trent Cannon Featured, PC, PS4, TC, Xbox One

Do you remember Portal? Man, that game was cool, right? I mean, it had fun, innovative puzzle-solving mechanics and slick yet simple graphics that showed you just why Valve remains one of the best game developers out there despite only putting out games with slightly more regularity than US presidential elections. And the writing was, put simply, some of the best you’re likely to find in gaming. It had a memorable, meme-tastic antagonist and made you care about a glorified paperweight. Read more …

Unwynd- Review

Trent Cannon Archive, TC

Picture yourself on a long train journey. The world outside is whizzing by at unimaginable speed. The fog is rolling over the gentle hills of the countryside, giving everything a dim, dreary feel that could really describe any part of England during a morning commute. The window beside you vibrates at a frequency designed to never quite be unpleasant but always just noticeable. You long for an escape from this situation and consider a nap, as you’re still tired from the gaming marathon you inflicted upon yourself the previous evening, but you know any hope of a nap is fleeting and will leave you only worse off afterward. You could read, but your eyes only just managed to focus on getting your key into your lock this morning and you’re not convinced they could manage to even tell what a book was at this point in the day.

Now it’s up to you to go back in time to the most iconic moments in the most iconic Shonen anime to come to the west. Provided you can ignore how headache inducing time travel is as a plot device, of course. Read more …

Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D – Review

Trent Cannon Archive, DS, Reviews, TC

I’ve been a Zelda fanboy from back when I stumbled upon my father’s NES game collection and picked up the shiny golden cartridge that was The Legend of Zelda. Admittedly, I had no idea what was happening, but the bright colours, open world, and heroic music hooked me from the very first moment. I’ve followed the series from platform to platform, saving Hyrule more times than I can remember, but my favourite game in this long running series has always been Ocarina of Time. The music, combat, and story remain relevant even today, thanks to the 3DS remake that came out a few years back. And while most entries in Legend of Zelda are loved and admired in one form or another, there is one that is often overlooked – Majora’s Mask. Read more …

J Stars Victory VS + English Release Preview

Trent Cannon Archive, Previews, TC

It seems like only yesterday I was talking about my undying love of anime. The over the top action. The occasionally insulting fan service. The plots that don’t give two red cents if you understand them or not. I’m a fan of all of it because, most of the time, anime doesn’t care about pulling its punches. Sometimes literally, when you get into the Shonen style animes that are the subject of upcoming fighting game J-Stars Victory VS+. Which, if you shout it loud enough, sounds like an attack from some animes so it is oddly appropriate. Read more …
