If You Love Final Fantasy X-2, You’ll Love Lightning Returns

When people ask me what Lightning Returns is like, I always respond that it’s a lot like Final Fantasy X-2. A lot of people seem to take this as an insult to Lightning Returns. It’s not. While I feel like I am in the minority, I loved FFX-2 and much of what made it so…

The Bayonetta Movie is Even More Over-the-Top than the Game

As I watched Bayonetta: Bloody Fate, the new anime film based on PS3 and 360 title Bayonetta, two thoughts kept running through my head: “This is the most 90s anime I have seen in a decade,” and “this is even more over-the-top than the game was!” Good – An Amazing Game-to-Film Adaptation Too often, when…
