Learn Some Early Combos for Dengeki Bunko FIGHTING CLIMAX’s Selvaria Bles

With Dengeki Bunko FIGHTING CLIMAX’s recent home console release in Japan, Valkyria Chronicle’s Selvaria Bles now joins the game’s playable cast. For those wondering about what she is capable of, wauhti and Abelcru recently shared videos that take a look at the early combos they have been able to work out for her.

First off, wauhti describes the combos here as “day two combos,” so these shouldn’t be indicative of her overall combo potential. That said, there are already some impressive looking combos here, both for Selvaria on her own as well as with one of the many assist characters available in the game.

Abelcru’s video, on the other hand, focuses on combos and setups that are available to Selvaria when she is paired with fellow Valkyria Chronicles representative Alicia.

Star Citizen: Change is in the Air

Change is in the Air

My feelings on the subject of Star Citizen are shrouded in more shades of grey than the murkiest Seattle skyline. I’m a Golden Ticket holder, Imperator, High Admiral, and very nearly the first writer to report on the game as being a major movement in the gaming community. If I wasn’t the first to point out how it’d shape the future of the industry, I was dang close.

Legend of Grimrock 2: Foundational Improvement

Foundational Improvement

First-person, turn-based, adventuring, puzzle-solving, dungeon crawling, roleplaying games are even harder to come by nowadays than they are to describe. Might & Magic, Wizardry, and a slew of other once-popular franchises dominated the roleplaying game scene at one point, but thankfully some developers are still making games like the Legend of Grimrock series as a throwback and revival to what once was.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle Sequel Spotted on Play-Asia

Well, it seems as if Play-Asia’s mysterious game listings aren’t confined to titles that have already been announced.

Earlier today, Fabian Ortiz of ShonenGameZ noticed a peculiar addition to the online retailer: a sequel to Bandai Namco Games and CyberConnect2’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle.

Released in much of the world earlier this year, All Star Battle forsook the pure 2D fighting of Capcom’s popular arcade title in favor of their own unique blend of 2D and 3D action. While not a huge hit with the competitive community (due in part to its sub-optimal 30 frames-per-second gameplay) the JoJo’s license helped the title become one of the fastest-selling fighters in Japan.

Play-Asia’s listing details a PlayStation 3 release sometime in March 2015 but, as of now, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle 2 should be firmly placed in the rumor category.

The Secret World: The Voice on the Phone: Why Faction Matters

The Voice on the Phone: Why Faction Matters

Much of The Secret World is the same no matter which faction you chose to go with. The open world where nearly all of the game takes place is identical no matter which group you pick. If you’re a Dragon you can even team up with an Illuminati and a Templar at the same time. So the question becomes, if most of the game is the same no matter which side you join, does it really matter? I would say that yes, it very much matters and not for the reason you might be thinking.
