Even in our darkest moments if we look hard enough theres a spark of light.
Of all the games I played in 2014, I think this one is my favorite. This game tells the story of a little princess who wakes up in a strange fantasy world that she must save. It's really refreshing to see a Princess saving herself and not the other way around! The world the artwork and the storytelling are BEAUTIFUL. Every line in the game is literally a verse of poetry. It's not always perfect but it's still awfully cute. Aurora is adorable and there are plenty of awesome characters you'll meet along the way.
The combat is a pretty basic. It's Turned based like Final Fantasy with a couple twists. It's not very hard and if you have ever played a video game before I reccomend Expert difficulty otherwise the game might end up boring you. The fights get more challenging as the game progresses but aside from boss fights I never really had a problem.
Oh and did I mention the music? The music in this game is incredible. When i first bought the game I listened to the title screen for a while before actually playing <3 Here's a link to the OST if you end up enjoying it as much as me. http://musique.coeurdepirate.com/album/child-of-light
Overall I think this is a great game. I really enjoyed it and reccomend it to anyone who like turned based RPGs and wonderful stories!

Life is Strange Review
In 1982 the question was posed "Can a computer make you cry?" Well here in 2015 the answer is yes. And without a doubt this game will make you go through a full range of emotions. DONTNOD has made another game with a fantastic story but this time they did everything a lot better.
Life is Strange is a game that should capture you within the first 15 minutes of playing, and if you are a hard sell then by the end of the first chapter you should be hooked. The story starts off strong and finishes even stronger. The games setting takes place in a small bay town that almost seems trapped in another time. I particulary got a 90s vibe, but perhaps that's just me. The soundtrack is fantastic and almost seems to capture the setting perfectly, the music almost seems out of time itself.
The main tenet of this game is that you have the ability to rewind time at any point. Think The Butterfly Effect only way way better. There is no combat which is great because as proved in DONTNODs previous game Remenber Me, that's not really their thing. The rewind ability is simple to use and opens up a lot of possiblities while your out exploring the world.
You play as a atypical young woman in highschool who almost seems to redefine what a female protaganist has to be. She has a personality that isn't your typical female role in a video game, or in life rather. I found a lot of myself in her and really enjoyed the character overall. You'll meet a lot of strong characters in this game, and might just find yourself falling in love with a few of them in a short time.
For a game about time travel it stays pretty grounded in reality, and offers a lot of twists and turns along the way. I truly reccomend this game to anyone looking for a good story that will take you on a wild and heart-wrenching ride.

Tomb Raider E3 Trailer
I've never really played a Tomb Raider game. I think I tried the PlayStation game before but it was really hard to move around and I never gave it a second chance.
It looks really neat. And it's being made my Square Enix so the story should be great.

The Secret World Trailer
This game looks so much fun. It's a major departure from what every other MMO is and the storyline looks so deep. I don't know of many "science fiction" MMO's but this seems to be one of the best looking ones ever.
Dark days are coming...

Blabber Box - Episode 2
This is Nexon's new web show. The first episode premiered in January. It's a pretty fun show that gives updates on all their games and much more. It's a really creative idea. I loathe most of Nexon's company decisions but this one is a good one.
Hopefully Luis is not replaced!

Oh! Edo Rocket Review
The town of Edo wouldn't be the ideal place for any of us to want to live. In this town it's against the law to have any fun at all! All this changes when a cute and starry eyed girl comes to town claiming she is a Moon Princess? Seikichi a young fireworks maker is approached by her and is asked to make a firework that can reach the... moon!? It soon becomes the goal of Seikich Tamaya to create this firework and cheer all of Edo up with it's launch. With the help of all his neighbors, can he do it?
Oh! Edo Rocket features a rich cast of zany characters all of which I fell in love with and I'm pretty sure you will too. Aside from the main characters Seikichi and Sora, you'll meet a bunch more interesting individuals. Ginjuro one of Seikichi's neighbors plays a big part in the show, and becomes somewhat of a father figure to Seikichi and Sora throughout. Not without his own problems he becomes a very interesting character to watch. You'll come to know him as "Captain Belly Button" A member of a strange organization called the Men in Black. There are many other odd characters you will meet throughout the show and Seikichi's neighbors are no exception. You'll find yourself never wanting to leave the Furai Row House which is the housing block where the show takes place most of the time.
There is plenty of comedy in this anime, and I find it to be Moon Phasey in it's nature. The show taking place in in the 19 century Edo, Japan is complete with helicopters, televisions, and.. cell phones? That's just one example of how wacky the show can be.
I rate Oh! Edo Rocket a 4 out of 5. Meaning I liked it. The only reason I can't give it a perfect score is because, a lot of stuff goes unexplained. There are many loose ends and it feels like there should have been more to the show. It was a really fun watch though and I hope you give it a chance.
