Chobits is a romantic comedy / science fiction story that came out over twenty years ago. It is a story by the famous Clamp team of manga writers and artists (responsible for the Magic Knight Rayearth and Cardcaptor Sakura IPs, amongst others), although this time directed at the shonen (boy) market. I recently purchased the… Continue reading
Story The heroine of this game is a Japanese schoolgirl who wakes up in a dark and dank dungeon somewhere and immediately has to do battle with a green goblin. She has no idea why, or who she is or how she got there. After defeating the goblin, the young amnesiac encounters a mysterious woman… Continue reading
In case you are interested in another Metroidvania to keep you occupied this winter, here is another one from The Long Library, Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. Story Ender Lilies is set in a literally “blighted” medieval or renaissance world. Everyone has been taken by the Blight, which is sort of a sickness and… Continue reading
I really liked The Game Trilogy and I think you will too. That being said, you do have to remember that it’s a product of its time. It’s from the 1970s. The way women are treated in particular might raise your eyebrows. But ultimately, the hero seems to try to do right by them, or… Continue reading
This is going to be a sub-series of the From the Steam Vault series that I started a couple weeks ago, dedicated only to the Metroidvania games in my steam library, of which there are twenty-four. The long nights this time of year are perfect for this type of game. You should play one and… Continue reading

So when I finished watching Season One of the anime series Call of the Night and realized that the second season still wasn’t available now almost three years later (although it is under production), I decided to order all of the manga issues so that I could finish… Continue reading
This is another quick survey review of the game Hades. I bought it during one of the sales. From the tags on Steam, like “Action Rogue-like”, I expected just a sort of button mashing adrenaline rush sort of experience from the game. But that’s not it at all. There definitely is some cool action and… Continue reading
I have 442 Steam games. I’ve played about 50 of them. You’re probably in a similar situation (It’s those cursed sales.) I realized that I was never actually going to play all of these games, even a little, unless I made a concerted effort, and so I am going to do that with this blog… Continue reading
If you’ve developed an appetite for Colosseum style battles after watching Gladiator II and are wondering if there is anything else out there worth watching, let me recommend The Way of the Dragon starring Bruce Lee. It isn’t about ancient Rome, but it does come to us all the way back from the Rome of… Continue reading
Correction: There is only one season of this anime available at the moment. The second season is confirmed though. I saw two discs in the case and assumed it was two seasons, but the second disc is more episodes of season one. Call of the Night was an anime I bought over the summer, but… Continue reading
