If you’re a shonen anime junkie, it’s doubtful you haven’t yet checked out Bleach. Like Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, and the several successful action series before it, the sprawling supernatural tale is packed with epic brawls, memorable characters, and plenty of filler. Ichigo Kurosaki, your typical teenager, is suddenly whisked away into the world of the Soul Reapers, powerful entities tasked with rounding up rowdy souls who linger in the living realm as malevolent spirits long after kicking the bucket.

During the Wii’s raucous run, one of my personal favorite adventures happened to be No More Heroes. As a longtime fan of Suda51, this rock-and-roll journey’s particular brand of insanity resonated with me. And as I guided otaku renegade Travis Touchdown through the ranks of the most powerful assassins in the land, I had the time of my life. Unfortunately, none of my friends were ever too interested in giving this stellar game a try, as its graphics weren’t modern enough and they didn’t own Wiis. However, with the release of No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise, for the PlayStation 3 featuring Move support, that excuse no longer flies. Heroes’ Paradise presents the original game in 720p with the choice to play with either motion controls or simple DualShock input.

After several successful map packs each featuring an equally engrossing zombie playground for the shambling undead, Call of Duty: Black Ops has introduced what will likely be its final DLC expansion until Modern Warfare 3. While the title has certainly has had its highs and lows, tackling each new zombie expansion has been the cherry on the top of the sundae for me. Unfortunately, friends did not always see fit to purchase each additional map packs (and I couldn’t blame them) so much of the massacring fell squarely on myself or one other partner.
Review: Save Yammi
When I first picked up a Nintendo DS, I knew I had to get Pac-Pix, a game that involved drawing Pac-Men and then drawing lines to corral them into the direction they needed to go, all in an effort to gobble up the several ghosts terrorizing you in each level. And I was completely engrossed. Fast-forward to 2001, and a friend of mine is appalled that I’ve never seen or heard of Chillingo’s mobile slide-fest Cut the Rope. So, like Angry Birds and the rest, I was initially hesitant to buy into whatever fad surrounded the popular title, until I dove right in and soon realized I couldn’t get enough of Save Yammi, a more recent release from BULKYPIX.
Review: HungryMaster
What do you get when you combine lovable retro-styled arcade graphics with absolutely abominable English localization and translation? HungryMaster, of course! In this innocently adorable, quirky little mobile title, you’re tasked with turning all the monsters you can eat into delicious foods for the diminutive Delica’s tummy. A sequel to developer xionchannel’s popular app ElectroMaster, this embarrassingly cute quickfire arcade-style game is packed with personality and easy-to-learn controls. But, like its patchy English, it still has quite a few kinks to work out before I can call it a must-have.
