Like many, my love for professional wrestling has the WWE front and center. I have become infatuated with the product they have created, for better and for worse. As I grew more interested in the sport, I wanted to broaden my horizons. This is where New Japan Pro Wrestling comes in. The premier pro wrestling promotion in Japan, NJPW houses some of the best grapplers, high flyers, and submission experts in the world. With the promotion’s popularity growing here in the United States, it was only a matter of time we would see licensed versions of these wrestlers in a video game. With Spike Chunsoft’s PS4 release of Fire Pro Wrestling World, that is now a reality. On the surface, Fire Pro Wrestling World is an arcade wrestling game. It has a consistent cartoony art style that evokes that type of nostalgia. You don’t have to manage stamina bars or wait for a finisher meter to fill; you can do any move you want right from the start of the match. It is also more fast-paced … [Read more...] about Fire Pro Wrestling World Review — Being the Elite

Monster Hunter World: How to Get the Best Mantles
Monster Hunter World players are never short of objectives to tackle, which is one of the game’s biggest selling points (and part of the reason for its positive reviews). For hunters who want to earn some bonuses, this list of the best mantles and how to earn each one is definitely worth tackling. For the uninformed, mantles are cloaks that players can wear in Monster Hunter World to earn temporary bonuses that give the hunter an advantage while preparing to take down a creature. There are lots of great mantles in the game, but these are the ones we recommend unlocking and putting to use: Status+ Mantle Use: Increases status accumulation for a short time. Unlock: To earn this mantle, players need to fully research 10 monsters. Immunity Mantle Use: Removes & Nullifies abnormal status effects for the duration of the mantle Unlock: To earn this mantle, players need to fully research 15 monsters. KO Mantle Use: Adds exhaust/stun to attacks, and improves weapons that already … [Read more...] about Monster Hunter World: How to Get the Best Mantles
Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology review
Radiant Historia, a 2010 role-playing game developed by Atlus for the Nintendo DS, had a lot going for it: a clever combat system, a complex narrative and great moment-to-moment character writing. For all that Historia did well, though, the game as a whole never quite jelled, and the package added up to a little less than the sum of its admittedly compelling parts. This would seem to make Historia both an unlikely selection for a remake and, at the same time, a perfect candidate for one. By looks alone, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology for the Nintendo 3DS doesn’t do much to excite. It offers few technical improvements over a DS game that hardly pushed that system’s limits. The visuals now make use of the 3DS’ higher resolution; character portraits have been replaced with generic anime renditions; battle icons display more detailed tactical information ... and that’s about it. In terms of overhauls, this is certainly no Metroid: Samus Returns. … [Read more...] about Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology review
Monster Hunter: World beginner’s guide
Depending on who you talk to, the Monster Hunter series has a very mixed reputation. On the one hand, it has a ravenous fanbase that won’t hesitate to import the newest games. On the other, there’s a slew of confounded gamers who quit immediately after being locked in the lengthy potion-drinking animation. In an attempt to bridge the two extremes, Capcom rebooted the series with Monster Hunter: World, which addresses a lot of the complaints while maintaining the core thrill of the hunt. But whichever side of the fence you’re on, there’s a lot to learn before going toe-to-much-bigger-toe with the game’s titular monsters. This guide will get you up to speed. Editor’s note We wanted our Monster Hunter: World guides to be as comprehensive as possible, so we enlisted the help of an expert.
