A Guardian hero in your life will make that shit extra better.

Guardian heroes is one of my all time favourite games on the Saturn. Quirky anime style. Sheer on-screen mayhem. Some basic RPG-like leveling up elements. And it being a scrolling beat 'em up just rounded off the F**KING AWESOME!! So I'm absolutely stoked that this game will be getting a HD re-release. This was a criminally overlooked game on the Saturn. So this is a great chance for those who owned it, to own it in HD. Those who played it but didn't fancy taking out a second mortgage to afford a Saturn and a copy of this game, to own it at an affordable price. And for all those who had heard of it, but never played it; to check out what the fuss was all about.

This release should have happened sooner. But I'm just happy it's happening at all. I was beginning to think nobody was answering my prayers, and that Sega were annoying my letters, my sack of post-it's and the blimp I hired to hover above their offices. I'm really glad I didn't have to send this tweet to Sega...

...because things could have gotten ugly. And word would have gotten out how I'm a little bit crazy. And frankly, I just can't have that.

I wrote a review of Guardian heroes yonks ago. But if you can't be bothered to read through it, then here's my quick verdict of this game: BUT IT NAOW!!

Black refiners. We’ve gotta talk about that Milchick and Drummond moment in the Severance episode, “The After Hours”.

So, I’m watching season 2 of Severance. And as I post this, the ninth episode of the season “The After Hours” has just aired. And I really wanna talk about it. Well, I wanna talk about one moment in particular — Milchick and Drummond’s lil’ chat. Probably one of my favourite moments of the episode, which felt like the culmination of lots of Milchick moments diverging — adding a new wrinkle to a story and a world which already has more wrinkles than a newborn Shar Pei. Severance has made a commentary on a lot of things. Corporate shenanigans. Abuse of power dynamics. Sexisism. Homophobia. Religion. Consent. Control. And now I guess we can add race to the mix. Full disclaimer. To fully pre-empt and prevent being branded a liar and being misleading — the images in this post with subtitles are not official subtitles from Severance. They are subtitles I slapped on the images for extra effect and humour’s sake, in the vein of ‘What would these characters want to actually say’. I am including...

Review: Bayonetta | Bullets 'n' booty

So, what do you do when a franchise that you loved and created lies in the hands of a company you no longer work for? Easy! You make a game just like it. Except better. With more guns. More bloodshed. More hair. And a contender for the sexiest female character of all time in the lead role who strips naked to kill people. Enter, Bayonetta. Bayonetta is developed by the creator of Devil may cry, and this shows from the start. The button configuration is similar, the way you pull moves off is similar, the styles are similar. It really is a spiritual counter-part to Devil may cry. It's easy to turn your nose up at this, and cast it off as a re-hash, or a regurgitation of what we've had before. (Especially if you hate Devil may cry as much as I do). But Bayonetta is much more. The game seems shallow when you take it at place value and see nothing but half nakedness and open legs in the gameplay footage. But beneath the surface lies a damn good game, which trumps the franchise t...

Game Review: Final Fantasy VII Remake | The Real Housewives of Avalanche

So, originally I had written part of this as a '7 days with Final Fantasy VII Remake' piece, because I had thoughts that I felt compelled to type and share with all 2 people who know of this wasteland of blog. But I was so close to the end and had heard 'whispers' about the ending to this game, so figured I should just complete the damn thing so I can talk about all the things. And now here I am. Ready to talk about it all. This Review will be chock-a-block full of spoilers. So if you've not played the game yet, then read on at your own risk.

Yes. Everything Is Rubbish.
