Asura’s Wrath (EYE TO THE PAST)

Asura’s Wrath (EYE TO THE PAST)

Oh thank goodness, something to be positive about.  Phew… Asura’s Wrath, the result of a dream partnership between Capcom and CyberConnect2 (the .hack// and Naruto game developer), is a magnificent send-up of all things anime.  It thrives in that place where heroes have outrageous hair styles, villains are hammy and overconfident, and all problems can […]

Lego Dimensions (EYE TO THE FUTURE)

Lego Dimensions (EYE TO THE FUTURE)

I honestly wasn’t expecting “Skylanders but for LEGO” to be what came out of The LEGO Movie‘s success.  Were you?

RvB 13 – Episode 1: Prologue (THE NOW)

RvB 13 – Episode 1: Prologue (THE NOW)

WARNING: Spoilers follow. So this happened. First things first, you can tell Rooster Teeth’s fancy new partnership with Fullscreen has paid off – or maybe they’ve just refined their method; either way, the animation is top form. Character models have subtle little movements and details, the environments channel the worn-in science-fiction feel of Battlestar Galactica […]
