Monster Hunter Generations Review | GameGrin

Monster Hunter Generations Review | GameGrin

GameGrin — Monster Hunter for the uninitiated is the game series which has you hunt monsters and that's pretty much the gist of it: hunt, carve and craft the things you hunt. Known for its sluggish combat and insane levels of grinding, has Generations done anything to help solve this issue?

Sword Art Online: Hollow Realisation - MCM Preview | GameGrin

Super Treasure Arena Preview | GameGrin

Super Treasure Arena Preview | GameGrin

GameGrin — Multiplayer games are always a great find for me personally, especially one that supports local and online. But then there's always the issue of the single-player content, and something that the current selling price can't quite justify.

The Metronomicon Review | GameGrin

The Metronomicon Review | GameGrin

GameGrin — While the art and animation never sold me, The Metronomicon takes the core concept of a rhythm game with a new spin. The main premise is that monsters have started showing up after a meteorite hits the planet, an academy is set up to train heroes to rid this problem and that's pretty much the game's narrative.

Flat Heroes Preview | GameGrin

Flat Heroes Preview | GameGrin

GameGrin — Flat Heroes is an arcadey game where you play as a square and proceed to beat challenges set in a level/world. Basic in design, it delivers by the handful, until the game becomes near impossible to beat alone without a lot of determination. Its design choice caught my eye.

World of Tanks Blitz - Halloween Event: Night Hunt | GameGrin

GameGrin — The hunt has begun, until the 24th of October, the battle of Light Vs Dark will wage. On a dark and stormy night, half a millennium ago, a great battle took place between the forces of Light and Dark. Clashing all night, only when dawn's light pierced the horizon that Light was victorious.

New Pokémon and characters revealed for Pokémon Sun and Moon | GameGrin

GameGrin — New Pokémon announcements are quickly becoming my new form of addiction like Goblin D.Va to junk food and with eight new Pokémon and two new characters, Pokémon Sun & Moon is becoming as stylish as it is fabulous.

Steins;Gate Review | GameGrin

Steins;Gate Review | GameGrin

GameGrin — If fate doesn't exist then it sure does know how make itself a recognisable concept. Steins;Gate isn't a game that is delusional about its use of punctuation, it's a delusional story that can sometimes make no sense but still sound coherent enough to believe it to be science fact than fiction.

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 New Expansion Announcement Trailer | GameGrin

GameGrin — Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is already a great game with incredible set pieces with the DLC that came along filling in the post game content somewhat respectably. Now it looks like Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2 want to finish it off with a bang in the form of Boruto to be released on the 3rd of February.

Epic Manager Preview | GameGrin

Epic Manager Preview | GameGrin

GameGrin — Epic Manager is a roguelike with D&D 4X (eXpand, eXplore, eXploit and eXterminate) elements that implements an FTL vibe that creates what could be a potentially interesting game, as long as the RNG doesn't ruin you in the first couple of turns.

God Eater 2 Rage Burst Review | GameGrin

God Eater 2 Rage Burst Review | GameGrin

GameGrin — God Eater 2 Rage Burst ( GE2RB ) is quite possibly the next best thing we'll get to having Monster Hunter on the PC (unless you play in China), but then that's only because of the monster behemoths of boss like proportion monsters you hunt down make better and cooler weapons which you'll expand over time.

Naruto Online First Impressions | GameGrin

Naruto Online First Impressions | GameGrin

GameGrin — Lame teaser aside, as with any MMO or large game, it's difficult to understand if a game's any good until having chewed through a good chunk of it and I feel that needs more time to give a full indepth review.

Hue Review | GameGrin

Hue Review | GameGrin

GameGrin — Picture a world unlike any other, where colour exists only in dull monotones. Hue, your wouldbe plucky adventurer, searches for his mum through the power of a colour ring. Changing reality with the colours of the rainbow, rendering obstacles invisible; he traverses the bleak landscape in search of the truth and most importantly home.

Overcooked Review | GameGrin

Overcooked Review | GameGrin

GameGrin — Set in a world no longer safe because of Spaghettification, and in order to do battle you must return to a time before the devourer appeared. Training is vital, for the next time you face the enemy, it will be the last chance to save the world: by cooking dishes like fish and chips!

War of the Human Tanks - Limited Operations Review | GameGrin

War of the Human Tanks - Limited Operations Review | GameGrin

GameGrin — Japon is a country rife with war, radioactive particles have made standard warfare near impossible with its interference of equipment; thus Human Tanks were developed to use the source of interference as their power source and have since become the medium which battles are fought.

My Ratchet is Clonked, can I get a Clank? | GameGrin

My Ratchet is Clonked, can I get a Clank? | GameGrin

GameGrin — I recall to a certain degree of fondness over my not so dearly missed school days, which involved a lot of anthropomorphised animals like Scooby Doo (that went off the cliff with the remake), Winnie the Pooh (again off the cliff) and Stitch (you can see a trend).

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Season Pass DLC Review | GameGrin

GameGrin — I remember the announcement of Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 and being incredibly apt and "I am L@dy". I knew from the predecessor that not purchasing the Season Pass was a missed opportunity with the ample DLC that came.
