Life can be very strange, indeed. Introduction: Life Is Strange is about a student named Max Caulfield, whom recently has moved back to Oregon to a private High School for her final year, known as Blackwell Academy. The premise of the game is focused on the second week of October, 2013. The town that you will become familiar with - Arcadia Bay, a quiet and small but year beautiful and charming in it’s own way. The game will quickly give you a sense of just what exactly is happening in this small town closely related to Max’s journey. Atmosphere and Charm: As soon as I started initially, I was ready to bash the game for it’s graphics. I held my reservations and trotted forward, soon to begin and realize that the game contained more of a “style” that I needed to get used to. Granted playing on the PS4 I always expect better, I quickly overcame the concept. Now? I couldn’t get enough. Arcadia Bay truly has something captivating about it, that almost makes me want ...

Detention is a 2D “ambient horror game” that puts you in the shoes of Ray, a Taiwanese student during the 1960’s Marshal Law period. The premise of the game starts mysteriously with a separate character who is important to the story before you do begin the main gameplay as Ray. Since this is a horror game I want to review the key elements that make a horror game successful. Although the game uses historical context, do not let that deter you as through most the game you are provided with enough information about the time period and Chinese lore. PLOT/STORY: Detention is a game that is chock full of historical events between the Chinese and Taiwanese - as the game progresses you find yourself discovering the main character’s struggle during the sensitive time period. Since the game is a HEAVY story based game, it is best to leave as much generalized for the viewer audience to be surprised. Story stays succulent and clear with lingering elements of “What could possibly happen next...

FUUUuuuuuSION - HUH!? Dragonball: Fusions is a one of a kind unique experience to come to the Dragon Ball fan service, an ultimate pizza pie for fans in a good sort of way - you have a game that presents classic characters in a not so normal setting, which opens up to the premise of the game: FUSIONS GALORE! Story: If you’re new to the series, or just getting acquainted, DB:Fusions is a good place to go. The game doesn’t really introduce the characters with any background but rather has fun with itself, opening a new world where you make your own character and enter this alternate realm that is some sort of mash up with time, featuring the world tournament. The game isn’t afraid to joke on some of it’s old tropes, as well as make cat calls toward the new series which is heavily influenced in here (as seen currently on Toonami as Dragon Ball Super) The story premise is at best, average and should not be the reason to buy the game. Gameplay: DB:Fusions is a mediocre ...
