Review: 'Odin Sphere: Leifthraser' — Completing the Sphere of Magical Goodness
Review Summary: When developer Vanillaware learned that Dragon’s Crown was a diamond in the rough. Ever wondered if a game could be a hit a second time around? Developer Vanillaware definitely decided to do so. You may remember the hidden gem on the PlayStation 2. With it back, bigger, better, and more beautiful than ever – the game is a must have for JRPG Side-Scrolling Platforming enthusiasts.

Mass Effect: Andromeda's Facial Animations Led to People to Harassing the Wrong Person (NSFW)
There's no secret that #MassEffectAndromeda has been getting hit by some criticism regarding character facial animations, limited character creation, and a rough few hours of gameplay. It's a game that has sent long-time fans in a frenzy before the game's release this coming Tuesday. Due to this initial frenzy that fans have formed up into, it was time for BioWare to speak up about what was happening and how it was happening. However, what isn't justified? The attacking of a person that had nothing to do with a game.

'Anthem' Will be Third Person According to the Games Director
It's been only a few days since the opening moments of BioWare and EA's upcoming title Anthem had made my heart skip a couple of beats. It was a game that graced us with wonderment, beauty, and astonishing mechanics that could leave many curious to just what we would experience next year. From legendary guns, to exotics, to our own unique loadouts that would cause us to leave our enemies reeling in agony from our bombardments of mortars, bullets, and explosive capabilities.

'Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood' Suffering Early Access Troubles
When the words "early access" are uttered in relation to an MMO, there's no doubt that heads turn. Dedicated fans will steel themselves in preparation for what's to come. These fans will grind, they will play, they will bog down the servers as they race around the clock to be the first to eat through the game's content. But these fans won't be prepared for the snags. Those snags can be a problem, especially when the #EarlyAccess is promoted as the game's functioning pre-order.

'Destiny 2' Won't Run at 60 FPS on Project Scorpio or PlayStation 4 Pro
If you've been able to keep up with the upcoming Bungie title #Destiny2, you by now know it has already been announced that the game will be taking full support of both Project Scorpio and the PlayStation 4 Pro. However, it's not taking advantage in the way you nor myself would have expected in the least. While the trailers and teasers have certainly given us an amazing glimpse at the upcoming title, there's no doubt that what you are about to hear, is the very last thing you wish to hear at that.

Three Things 'Destiny' Is Desperately Missing Even With 'Rise of Iron'
Destiny's final year is almost upon us when Rise of Iron launches on September 30th for both Xbox One and PlayStation 4. With this final year comes a place where the former Halo developer Bungie could quite easily launch quite a few test items in this upcoming expansion. With Destiny 2 quite possibly already in heavy development, Destiny is getting a decent amount of content to hold us over for a year, much like the expansion Taken King was supposed to do, but in a much bigger way.

Day 3 Video Game Challenge: Time Is Valuable And I Spent So Much On This Game
Let me tell you my story... Many years ago - before marriage... before children... before a full-time career, I played far too many video games and I spent far too much money on those games, but it was my solitary place and I found joy in disappearing into the various worlds that I encountered through many games. Most of my games were RPG's because as you may have read in my Day 2 article, I was an only child. So, being an only child left a decent amount of games out of my collection because I had no-one to co-op with or join online. So I spent my days and nights building into my RPG characters. I played them all: Final Fantasy, Blue Dragon, Fallout, Borderlands, Infinite Undiscovery, Resonance of Fate, Fable, Dragon Age, Dragon Quest, Dark Cloud & Rouge Galaxy (a enitrely overlooked game by the way) and so many more over the years.

A guardian angel to some, and an angel of mercy to others, she saved countless lives during her time with the organization, and hasn't let its dissolution stop her from doing what she feels is right.
