New countdown site launched for Omega Labyrinth Life
Posted on 6 years ago by Devin(@Sonicb00m111) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A new teaser countdown site has appeared online that corresponds with the upcoming RPG title Omega Labyrinth Life, coming with the “title” of Omega Labyrinth 0083 Stardust Memory.
While it is unclear what the title might be referring to, Gematsu has translated the other text on the site. For the countdown itself, the tagline “Oppai! I’ve come home!” can be deciphered, while also making reference to an “Operation Star Breasts”.
According to the site, this mission is intended to rain breasts down upon the earth and make the greatness of breasts more widely known to people.
The countdown is set to end on May 14th at 17:00 JST, at which time another teaser site will be opened up with more new information on the title.

[Review] Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
Posted on 6 years ago by Campbell(@CampbellSGill) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 30, 2019
Developer: Square Enix / Virtuos
Publisher: Square Enix
If you’ve ever watched the Star Wars prequel trilogy and thought “Man, this would be so much better if it were a Japanese role playing game,” then Final Fantasy XII is the game for you. With its fusion of medieval and sci-fi ideas in its setting and its heavy political overtones, it easily draws plenty of comparisons to George Lucas’s iconic space operas – it even comes complete with an evil Senate-led Empire and a plucky young orphan destined to take it down. Also like the prequel trilogy, Final Fantasy XII has been a point of contention for its series’ fans ever since its first release on the PS2 in 2006. Its unconventional real-time combat was a far cry from the classic turn-based battles that had defined the franchise up to that point, and the entire core structure of its politically charged storytelling and combat management felt like a dramatic change from traditional Final Fantasy experiences.

[Review] Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package
Posted on 6 years ago by Jakob Vujovic(@jakovujo) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: May 10, 2019
Developer: Volition / Deep Silver
Publisher: Deep Silver
There are certain genres that Nintendo consoles have historically missed out on. During the Wii generation, the Call of Duty style shooter was sorely missed – if not for an actual lack of ports (and well-forgotten games like The Conduit), then at least for the Wii’s inability to impressively render HD set piece spectacles. Open world games in the vein of Grand Theft Auto found similar enough success to spawn countless formulaic imitations, but the open world genre saw almost no representation on the Wii, and a handful of really bad ports on the Wii U. Perhaps the Wii’s greatest legacy was the perception that Nintendo consoles are bound to miss out on those “hardcore” blockbuster experiences.
