Asura’s Wrath = Japanese God of War?
Journalists are already calling Capcom’s Asura’s Wrath the Japanese God of War. Certainly there are similarities. Okay, there are a ton of similarities, but will the developers at CyberConnect2 be able to successfully create a game that blends Western blood-and-guts with Japanese gameplay sensibilities? Check out the trailer above and cast your vote (please)! Sep […]

Coffee Talk #214: Five Things I Can’t Wait to See at TGS 2010
I'm so bummed that I'm missing Tokyo Game Show. Part of it is that it's always incredibly fun hanging out with writer, developer, and PR friends in Tokyo. Part of it is that the karaoke is simply the best (I've never seen so many Pixies songs available anywhere else in the world). Lastly, part of it is that my tastes lean towards Japanese games and the announcements are usually super exciting for gamers like me. Here are five things I'm looking forward to hearing more about during TGS 2010.

Coffee Talk #213: My Biggest Gaming Disappointment of 2010
I've been meaning to write my (not a) review for the "Witch Hunt" DLC for Dragon Age: Origins since last Thursday. I've played it a bunch of times and I'm certainly familiar with it, but for various reasons I haven't pulled the trigger on my (not a) review. Part of it is that I don't have much to say about the game. Here's the short version: it's incredibly disappointing. Here's the long version: the gameplay, graphics, and voice acting are what you'd expect from Dragon Age, but the story -- which was purported to be a grand finale that dramatically reveals the fate of Morrigan -- is a total letdown. There's nothing grand about "Witch Hunt"; it's just another piece of good Dragon Age DLC.
