Persona 5 Review (PS3)

This Game Stole My Heart

Persona 5 (P5) is the fifth title (technically 6th) in Atlus' Persona series of JRPGs where you play as highschool kid in the morning and a Phantom Thief stealing hearts after class. It took a long time to develop this game, it got delayed several times too. So is the wait worth it?

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Review (PS3)

The End of a Legend

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a PS3 exclusive game that stars the legendary soldier, Solid Snake as the main character. Timeline-wise, MGS4 is the direct sequel to MGS2 and is the canonical concluding game for Solid Snake.

Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition Review (PS3)

Adventure, Loots, Loots, Loots and Legendaries!

Alright I will review this game that has been out for a long time, better late than never. Diablo III, as the name suggests, is the third installment on one of Blizzard Entertainment's games. This game was first released on PC then on consoles (PS3, PS4, XB360 and XB1). The version I'm going to review is the Ultimate Evil edition of Diablo III that includes the expansion "Reaper of Souls" for PS3 (yes, I know this version is obsolete).

Metal Gear Solid V Review Part 3: Metal Gear Online 3

A Free Multiplayer Add-on that Gives More Value to MGSV:TPP

Finally, I've got to play Metal Gear Online, the free add-on competitive multiplayer content for the game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This is the third MGO, the first one is on MGS3, the second on MSG4 (by the time I got my PS3 and MGS4 I can't download it via its P2P download method) and now the third version is in MGSV:TPP. I've never had a chance to play the past two versions but they say the Versus Ops experience in Peace Walker is similar to MGO on MGS4. Now on to the review!

Why Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is Not Perfect.

I played and reviewed MGSV:TPP. The game's great and can be very addicting, the single player campaign took me more than 150 hours just to finish all missions. You'll get your money's worth in this game while most games with the same price only gives short gameplay time. But there are stuff that makes The Phantom Pain not perfect.

This contains major spoilers, don't read this if you haven't played and completed the game.

Metal Gear Solid V Review Part 2: The Phantom Pain

A Shining Diamond Rough at the Edges

This is the larger part of the cake. MGSV:TPP is said to be 200 times larger than MGSV:GZ. The Phantom Pain is the last Metal Gear game made by Hideo Kojima and Kojima Productions. This is an expensive game to make and costs around 80 million dollars. By playing this game, I can say that Kojima Productions used the game development budget well. This game probably completes the whole Metal Gear Solid saga.

Metal Gear Solid V Review Part 1: Ground Zeroes

A Small Slice of a Bigger Cake

This is the first part or the "tutorial" part of the whole MGSV game. This should have been free or included in The Phantom Pain, but Konami and Kojima Productions decided to cut this Ground Zeroes part and released it as a separate game. My question is, why?

BioShock Review (PS3)

Underwater City of Insanity

When I heard of the game BioShock, two classic games comes to my mind: System Shock and System Shock 2. I played those two games when I was a kid, but I didn't beat them because those two games are so scary and got complicated controls, especially System Shock. Anyway, BioShock have similar, but improved, gameplay mechanics to System Shock 2 which is good.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD Edition Review

It Feels and Plays Like a Numbered MGS Title

MGS: Peace Walker is a sequel to MGS3: Snake Eater and the second PSP MGS game (not counting Metal Gear Acid) after the non-canon game, Portable Ops. Peace Walker received an HD treatment and is included in the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection/Legacy Collection.

Final Fantasy X-2 Review (PS3)

Sphere Hunting Girls and Dresspheres
This is the continuation of a great classic JRPG, Final Fantasy X. This is kinda of an odd-ball game, because of its much brighter and fun story but it reveals a dark past about Spira and Zanarkand. Now, if you want to play this game, you may (or may not, your choice) throw away some stuff that you knew about the first game, because some things here have changed a bit or drastically.

Final Fantasy X HD Review (PS3)

This is the Game's Story... erm... Review

Ahh! The 10th Final Fantasy game. Originally released for the PS2 before the Squaresoft and Enix merger. It is now released for the PS3 and PSVita (and soon on the PS4) as part of the FFX HD Collection. Can a great classic prove itself once more in this current gaming generation?

Bioshock Infinite Review (PS3)

A Thrill-ride of a Game

Bioshock Infinite is the third installment of the Bioshock game series and set before the events of the first Bioshock. This game received a lot of awards and hype from critics and gamers. I picked up this game really late and it's now cheaper. Sometimes it's good to wait for the game's price to drop.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater HD Edition Review

Rugged James Bond in HD

Metal Gear Solid 3 HD Edition is bundled as part of the MGS HD Collection and MGS Legacy Collection. This MGS3 Subsistence version with few removed features like the special movie/trailer section and the Guy Savage nightmare scene.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII Review

A Beautiful Dying World... So Little Time.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (LR:FFXIII) is the third and final entry to the Final Fantasy XIII series, dubbed as Lightning Saga. Finally the FFXIII story is ending, but does this game the best entry of the series? Lets find out.

Metal Gear Solid 2 HD Edition Review

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is the first MGS game for the Playstation 2 and features 2 characters Snake the hardened legendary soldier and Raiden a young rookie of the newly reformed FOXHOUND unit. This game has given an HD treatment and it looks good, but it shows its age. But it's gameplay and story makes this game worth playing again on your HD gaming console.

The Last of Us Review

Well Naughty Dog did it again that's for sure! It may not be a "perfect" game but in terms of presentation, gameplay and story, I seriously doubt that there will ever be a game that would top The Last of Us.
I guess what really stood out the most for me is the "feel" or the "experience" that this game delivered. But before anything else, let me tell you a little something about the story.

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Beta Impressions

I got the PS3 beta codes recently for FFXIV: ARR. After half-a-day of downloading, I finally got the chance to play it. And wooooow! The game's awesome! Because I need to follow the NDA rule, I will not post any screenshots (even though I have some off-screen photos) and I will just give my impression to this high profile MMO title from Square-Enix.
