Save Against Fear 2015

9. September 2015 · by Rydain Darkstar · in Reviews

A charity fundraiser weekend of tabletop gaming shenanigans in which I attempted to fill the shoes of a first-person shooter, a noble luchador, and an eight-year-old girl (and her monster).

R.O.T.O.R.

R.O.T.O.R.

26. August 2015 · by Rydain Darkstar · in Reviews

I expected R.O.T.O.R. to be bad in the usual dull sense of nonexistent filmcraft, though perhaps with another amusing reference or two to share with those in the know. I was so very wrong in the best possible way.

Mad Max: Fury Road

Mad Max: Fury Road

21. May 2015 · by Rydain Darkstar · in Reviews

A full throttle rampage through a junkyard wasteland of skulls and rust and chrome. A straight up action flick reveling in its nature while flipping a rocket-powered bird at tired genre conventions. A heavy metal symphony with a human heart.

Dynasty Warriors 5

Dynasty Warriors 5

24. March 2015 · by Rydain Darkstar · in Reviews

Early on, my concept of Dynasty Warriors appreciation was messing around on easy mode with the fat guy or the chakram girl or the claw guy who looked like Vega. Dynasty Warriors 5 turned me from a casual dabbler into a proper fan of the series and enthusiast for Three Kingdoms history and lore. The love remains strong a decade after its release.

Warriors Orochi

Warriors Orochi

28. September 2014 · by Rydain Darkstar · in Reviews

Seven years ago, I randomly spotted this crossover of Dynasty and Samurai Warriors during the obligatory mall visit Gamestop walkthrough. It was equal parts grandeur and absurdity, thoughtful craft and happy accident slapdash. It was a beat ’em up addiction with “it” factor rivaled only by my reigning personal KOEI Jesus of Dynasty Warriors 5.
