bitparade: R-Type Dimensions (PlayStation 3)

07/04/202029/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

I’ve got a bit of an odd relationship with scrolling shooters, be they horizontal or vertical, I genuinely enjoy playing them, but by and large I’m ridiculously rubbish at them and often find myself covering the same area over and over again with no progression and thus end up tossing them aside. This doesn’t stop […]

bitparade: Deception IV: Blood Ties

31/03/202029/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

Way, way back in 2007 we reviewed a game called TrapT. TrapT and Deception IV: Blood Ties just happen to be from the same franchise, although Blood Ties is the first of the numbered releases to make it to Europe. Thats something we dont see particularly often anymore (with the highest profile releases done in […]

bitparade: Monster Monpiece (Vita)

24/03/202029/04/2020 Duane Weatherall 1 Comment

Few games feel as confused about their identity as Monster Monpiece, a game that is, for the most part, fairly innocent. The core concept of the game that you actually play is an intriguing mish-mash of Card Collecting Game (think Magic or Pokemon…) and Tower Defence. However, and those of you who know anything about […]

bitparade: OlliOlli 2 (Vita)

17/03/202029/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

It’s no secret that I was a huge fan of OlliOlli back when it was originally released on the Vita last year. It had a few problems, which by their own admission, took developers Roll7 far too long to address (a crashing glitch being the worst culprit and a lack of leaderboards was a killer […]

bitparade: Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy (Vita)

10/03/202029/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

Despite criticism of a lack of software, not to mention that Sony themselves seem to have abandoned the device, the PlayStation Vita has really carved a niche market for itself with its catalogue of Japanese oddities, dungeon crawlers and an impressive roster of indie titles. Operation Abyss: Neo Tokyo Legacy fits into that middle category […]

bitparade: Etrian Odyssey Mystery Dungeon (Nintendo 3DS)

03/03/202029/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

t’s no secret that I’m a bit inexperienced when it comes to the Etrian Odyssey series, I’ve played many many similar games, but having not really spend much time with Nintendo’s handhelds over the years, the series has mostly past me by. The same also applies to the Mystery Dungeon series, although I had a […]

bitparade: Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax (Vita)

25/02/202029/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

Handhelds and fighters are generally a bit of a mixed affair, that’s not to say they don’t work, but its only natural that when you have a slight cramped input device, then you’re not going to necessarily be able to deliver as full an experience as you would in an Arcade or console environment. There’s […]

bitparade: Senran Kagura: Estival Verus (PlayStation 4)

18/02/202029/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

This is the second time I’ve covered a Senran Kagura game, having reviewed 2014’s Nintendo DS title Senran Kagura Burst. Back then I made a note that there was an element of fun to the side scrolling beat-em up, even if it was incredibly repetitive and rather embarrassing to play. Those values still apply 2 […]

bitparade: Republique (bitparade)

11/02/202029/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

Back in the early 2000’s certainly after the release of Konami’s Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Ubisofts Splinter Cell, it felt like any third person action game had to include a section of the game that required you to be stealthy. These were often the weakest aspects of those games as it […]

bitparade: Corpse Party: Blood Drive (Vita)

04/02/202029/04/2020 Duane Weatherall Leave a comment

I think I should start by stating that I haven’t played the previous two titles in the Corpse Party series and in actual fact I didn’t even know of the series until I started covering Blood Drive, with this in mind I don’t inte4nd to be particular judgemental of the overall story, but I am […]
