Delving into the Dragon World: A Dragonball Z Budokai Retrospective

8/27/2014

By Daniel Lamb

‘Dragon, Dragon! Rock the Dragon! Dragon Ball Z! Dragon, Dragon! Rock the Dragon! Come get me!’

Alright, so lyrically speaking it’s not exactly William Blake, but this was the theme song of a generation. It’s the year 2000, it’s 5:30pm, you’ve just come home from a long day at school learning about Vikings, and now you’re tuned into Cartoon Network. Of course, you are; you don’t want to miss the next exciting episode of Dragon Ball Z!

Last week we asked you to narrow down just one of your favourite characters from gaming, and whilst it's certainly not easy to settle on just one character out of a whole managerie, you attempted it anyway! We singled some of the most interesting. Only ten made the cut!

Did yours?

May the odds be ever in your favour!

Lionsgate are partnering up with video games company Kabam to produce a mobile game adaptation of their successful Hunger Games movies, fitting into the genre of a card-collecting, role-playing strategy. Within the game, players will take control of District members across Panem who have been sent on a mission to build alliances and, ultimately, help rebuild the world. The game, like with Kabam’s other gaming titles, will be entirely free to play.

The Legend of Zelda - The Wii U Waker

It’s been almost three years since Nintendo fans were teased with a tech-demo of The Legend of Zelda on Wii U. We were shown a Twilight Princess graphical-style, in glorious HD. It showed an immense battle between Ghoma and Link ensue within a vast and ancient hall. Nintendo went on to highlight some of the capabilities the 'new' gamepad had to offer in at E3 such as changing the time of day to demonstrate new lighting effects, as well as switching camera angles. But there hasn’t been much information at all since. However Eiji Anouma promised he would say more about the new Zelda Wii U title to IGN at E3 in 2014, and my body is ready.

Looking Back - What was actually wrong with Fable Anniversary?

Back in 2004, Fable gave a surprising and interesting take on the fantasy genre. It was often inventive. But never innovative. It was clumsily made in fact with a strict targeting system, clunky gameplay and an even more dire control scheme, as well as splurging a rather uncreative storyline when compared to other fantasy RPG’s. Anyone who has ever played a fantasy game knows that complex stories can be mesmerising when done properly (Dragon Age: Origins anyone?), but Fable never once attempted it within its own narrative. Fable’s story felt safe with very little risk taken on behalf of the characters or in-game events, but in its own way, this was fine. This was just Fable. It was just how Fable was.
