Going where several other blogs have gone before.
Just so you know this is not an unbiased review, this is in fact it's supremely biased review. I didn't want to watch WrestleMania this year. I haven't watched WWE tv regularly for two years, skipping the regular programming and picking a select number of pay-per-views a year instead. This is by far the best… Continue reading I’m still not over it: WrestleMania 38 reviewed
This last week, I finally beat Prey 2017, and you know what…I really liked it. I really like explorative immersive sim design but rarely feel compelled to put up with the expected levels of jank and obtuseness the genre often comes tied with. Prey, however, is a very streamlined version of that formula. The mechanics… Continue reading Prey: Vibes > Audio Logs
SPOILER DISCLAIMER: The general review portions of this article will contain spoilers for up to the Factory segment Let me make one thing clear: Resident Evil Village is 2021’s game of the year. That is not to say that it's the best game that will come out this year, though it might be. What I… Continue reading Resident Evil 8 Review: Streamlined Journey Through Shadow
So I was late to the party with the Mafia Trilogy. I hadn’t heard of the franchise until early 2020 when I bought Mafia 3 on a whim from a friend’s recommendation. I greatly enjoyed the game and it seems I got it at the perfect time as Mafia 1 and 2 Definitive Edition were… Continue reading Mafia Trilogy: Stylistic Substance
History's most universally beloved year is over. And has been for a while now, actually. This was supposed to come out quite a while ago, but better late than never. It was a trying time for everyone filled with all sorts of unpleasantries that I doubt you need us reminding you of here. It was… Continue reading The Story Arc’s Top Games of 2020
Bt Jre Best You might have noticed this article is a little bit shorter than the previous one. Since there is so much to talk about in this arc we’ve decided to split our breakdown of the Frieza Saga into multiple parts to be a little shorter and easier to digest. This article contains a… Continue reading The Frieza Saga Part 1: A Princes Pride: Dragon Ball Z Kai Retrospective Arc by Arc
By: Jre Best I've been stuck staring at a blank text document for nearly an hour completely stumped as to how to write the opening paragraph of a review for Dragon Ball Z. How does one write an introduction do a show, no, a franchise that needs no introduction. Dragon Ball Z is unquestionably one… Continue reading An Introduction to: Revisiting Dragon Ball Z Kai Arc by Arc: History
A Journey Through the Game of the 2010s June 2020 Jre Best Well, I knew this would happen at some point. Yes, this month's Virtual Odyssey will only be covering one game, Xenoblade Chronicles. This game lives up to its reputation as an absurdly large piece of software. Something the many who bought Definitive Edition… Continue reading Virtual Odyssey June 2020: Xenoblade Chronicles
Written by: Jre, Skeith, and Victiny I think it's fair to say Min Min is one of the most out of the box picks to ever be added to Smash. That might sound odd to you considering she's a first-party Nintendo character from a relatively recent game but just stop and think about the kinds… Continue reading 6 Obscure First-Party Nintendo Characters That Could Be In Super Smash Bros Ultimate Fighter Pass 2
By Jre Best I have a deep appreciation for the Sega Genesis despite not being alive during the Nintendo and Sega console wars. But one thing Sega is notoriously good at is preserving their history through brilliant collections. One of the cornerstone games of my childhood was the brilliantly constructed Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. A… Continue reading Legacy of Rage a Street of Rage 4 Review
Jre Best A couple weeks ago I spent way too long writing about this year's bizarre mess of a Wrestlemania so it's no secret that I'm a fan of the strange world of professional wrestling. One thing you might not know if you aren’t a fan is that there's more to wrestling than just the… Continue reading The Kingdom Of Sports – An Introduction New Japan Pro-Wrestling
The Strangest Stage of them All By Jre Best I'm writing these opening paragraphs half a week away from WrestleMania 36. One of the reasons for that is, well, it always feels nice being ahead of your work for once doesn't it? The more practical reason being that with every passing day the situation surrounding… Continue reading WrestleMania 36 Days 1&2 Review
Virtual Odyssey A Journey Through the Game of the 2010s March 2020 Jre Best So how was your March?... Yeah it hasn't been a great month for anyone really. International pandemic, thousands of deaths, and political incompetence are what these next couple months will be remembered for. As of time of writing millions across the… Continue reading VIRTUAL ODYSSEY: MARCH 2020
Virtual Odyssey A Journey Through the Game of the 2010s February 2020 Jre Best Well, February was an interesting month. January was kind of an easy ride with me being able to finish four games in a relatively expedient manner. Granted all those games were quite short remasters of even older games but still, progress… Continue reading VIRTUAL ODYSSEY: FEBRUARY 2020
February might be the shortest month of the year, but we at the Story Arc aren’t letting that slow us down! We’re giving you even more content than last month because we have nothing better to do have an incredible work ethic. Wednesday, February 5th Skeith is a long time fan of the Sakura Wars series, so he’s… Continue reading WELCOME, INTERNET PERSON: FEBRUARY SCHEDULE
