The Gestahlian Empire

With E3 2015 finally behind us, I just wanted to write up a small post about what I was most interested in from the event. Overall for the big three, I think Sony won the show, with many new and innovative titles along with the announcement of some returning fan favorites. Nintendo followed suit, and unfortunately I found nothing of interest from Microsoft. As for individual games themselves, the niche and indie titles stole the show for me with Xseed Games easily having the games I'm most interested in. So now I'll list all the games I am currently keeping an eye on in alphabetical order (I will include trailers if you're curious): Battleborn - Looks like a crazy fun time + from creator of Borderlands Cosmic Star Heroine - Zeboyd never fails to deliver! I backed this one on Kickstarter and I can't wait to get my copy! Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - Looks incredible, plus Human Revolution was an amazing game. Disgaea 5  - Gotta love me some sexy devils ;) ...

Today I got the physical edition of Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus. I fell in love with the Senran Kagura series after watching the anime adaptation of the first game. I thought the games would never hit US shores, so I was shocked to hear that Xseed brought them over. I don't own a 3DS yet. (I'm waiting for the New 3DS), but when this PS Vita game arrived I got on that immediately.  Here is the box: ...and here's the contents! The Physical Edition comes with: Shinobi Syllabus (Character Info & Artbook) 39 track Soundtrack sampler Reversible cover for the Vita case The game itself...   The whole package together is 49.99. You can get it from Amazon here .

After learning about the new PS Vita Slim Limited edition bundle, I pre-ordered on and it arrived one day before the official release. I thought I'd just share some images of the unboxing of the handheld. I got the PS Vita because, as a JRPG gamer, there just wasn't any selection on the PS4 or Xbone, and all the games that held my interest were on the 3DS or Vita, so it was an easy choice along with my existing PS+ perks! Anyway, let the photos commence!  The box straight out of the package! Only about half the package's box was actually necessary.... The back of the PS Vita box.  Open the box to find....another box. This special edition came with an 8GB memory card, very nice! And here's the reason for the memory card, The Borderlands 2 Vita digital edition. It's a very fun game by the way, the humor reminds me of Portal with more use of the word Badass. USB and wall socket adapters for charging and transferring data. And after getting...

Recently my Brother purchased a PS4, and after we unboxed it, for fun I took an image of the PS2, PS3, and PS4 controllers together. For some reason it turned out to be kind of nostalgic to me...anyway, enjoy!

I've been following the coverage for E3 for 2013, and I am blown away! I love the stuff that Sony and Nintendo are coming out with, and my brother has already reordered a PS4! Games that I am excited about include: Final Fantasy XV (was Versus XIII) Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Kingdom Hearts 3 The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Dragon's Crown Destiny Super Mario 3D World Super Smash Bros X (working title) Bayonetta 2 Mario & Luigi Dream Team Shin Megami Tensei IV Pokemon X & Y The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (Link to The Past 2) Mario Kart 8 ...and many more! I'll probably make a second post. I also wanted to say, that while I loved the Xbox 360 and all the cool games it has, i am probably going to pass on the Xbox One. The games that usually get me to buy a console are Jrpgs, and since pretty much all the Japanese developers are on Sony or Nintendo's side, I will be supporting those consoles. Many of the games I want are ...

So Dead or Alive 5 was released on the 25th and I've got to say that I'm really excited for this game. I was at first very skeptical on why Tecmo was even bothering considering that Itagaki, the series creator, had left (and in a very bad way too). As I learned more and more about the game, however, I realized that maybe some new blood is needed to revolutionize the series. The game has all your favorite mainstays, a few new characters and of course the excellent fight and grapple gameplay and breast jiggling that everyone has come to expect from the series. I can't wait to get this game and start playing away. When I get the game I'll post a review here. BTW I usually play with Kasumi. Xbox 360 and PS3 versions (NTSC-U) at my local Best Buy. The Strategy Guide. (I like the poster that's included in this) Also, the game will have a collectors edition that will include: The game itself An embossed steel case A...
