Anime Festival Orlando 10 just ended a few days ago and I have finally recovered. Swords of Orlandia III was so successful that AFO has made me a full time member of their staff as their RPG Elements Coordinator. Pretty spiff, if I do say so myself. You can send feedback about the game to [...]

The King of Fighters XII has been announced by Ignition Entertainment for release in U.S. stores on July 28th! I can’t wait! I’m getting it for Xbox 360 and unfortunately it will lack the clan mode that the PS3 version will contain. I hate exclusives like that because that would have been cool to try [...]

For more than a few years now, I have been heavily involved with anime conventions in Central Florida. It started out with just attending as a fan, and then I started doing panels where I talked about whatever anime or videogame I liked at the time. The past couple years, my responsibilities with conventions have [...]

I am so freaking sick of reading “No Mai, No Buy” when I read about The King of Fighters XII on Kotaku. Seriously? Really? Granted, she has a massive popularity amongst otaku and, who along with her Street Fighter counterpart Chun-Li, where the first legitimate sex symbols of videogames – beating Lara Croft to the [...]

The revival of A Boy and His Blob is looking amazing! I can’t believe this game is not being covered as much as it is. Spend less time on Kratos and more on this, gaming press! The new A Boy and His Blob takes some really great ideas from the original and adds a some [...]

I don’t see it happen often; nonetheless, I do get a little excited when 2D gameplay gets mixed in a 3D world. I’m not really talking about when 3D models are only moving exclusively on two axes, like in Street Fighter IV, but rather when 2D flat sprites on a billboard or plane are moving [...]

It was hosted by the Savannah College of Art and Design, a school that has a very interesting Game Design program. The conference had mostly SCAD students with at [...]
