Level One Gaming

Well I am veering off into left field nowadays aren't I? First gaming products, now 24/7 anime stations; I promise to get back to actual GAMES soon but I felt like this was something I needed to talk about seeing as the next game I'll review comes with a free 30 day trial of this service. Today I'm gonna review Neon Alley. Whats that? You want more back story on me (said no one ever) ? Well I'm an otaku. Like a serious otaku. Like an "I signed up for a 24/7 anime station cause it was relevant to my interests," type of otaku. Now I have Netflix as I assume most of the civilized world does and I had recently watched all the anime I was interested in at the time when I heard about Neon Alley. My first thought was "So this is Crunchyroll?", but it's not. While Crunchyroll allows you to choose what you want to watch, Neon Alley is far more like TV. You have virtually no control. Another big difference is all the anime on Neon Alley is DUBBED. Now t

As someone whose been fairly big on fighting games for the past few years, I saw that it was finally time for me to get an arcade stick. I did some research, got recommendations, and my final choice was the Qanba Q4 Real Arcade Fightingstick. I thought that getting a stick would help me improve my skills and add a whole new experience to playing the game. While the choice in controller is all up to preference, the Qanba Q4 is definitely worth a look.

So I started up my good buddy, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus. Now, if you've ever played this game, you would know that it's near impossible to find any fighting game more mechanically advanced than it. Guilty Gear players are known for their incredibly precise inputs. To fully test the precision, I used 4 characters: Chipp, Jam, Potemkin, and Axl. Chip

The Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series is known far and wide throughout the anime gaming scene. It's often revered as some of the best anime adaptation games out there, but just as often damned as the worst. Before we continue, I need to mention this: I'm a HUGE Ultimate Ninja fan (Story time! Everyone gather 'round). I remember buying my first Naruto game (the very first Ultimate Ninja); I had gone to GameStop with my one of my pals and his mom 'cause he had reserved some new $60 game and had to pick it up. As for me, I headed straight for the "Under $20" sign. I shuffled aside all sorts of games but nothing caught my eye. Then, all of a sudden, I came across a pinkish box with a vaguely familiar, yellow haired, bright orange jump-suited ninja with what looked like some of his companions on the front. Soon, it came to me. "Oh yeah!" I (for some reason) exclaimed aloud, "This is the guy from that one show on Toonami!" It looked cool
