What a strange beast Bioshock: Infinite is. It triumphs, it falls. It aims high, and hits, yet misses at the same time. It's a lot to think through, and even though I've had a few days now to let it sit in my head, my mind has only had more to think and ponder on. To put it simply though, there's a saying about aiming for the moon, so that if you fall short, you're still among the stars. Ignoring the fact that stars are much farther out from the Earth than the moon, Bioshock: Infinite is the perfect example of aiming for the moon, shooting past the stars, and damn near getting there.

When one considers replacing or upgrading their computing machine, the main areas of focus are often the processor (CPU), graphics processing unit (GPU), and RAM. All three components undoubtedly play a large role in the overall performance of a machine, but the hardware storing user’s files is often overlooked. Most laptops and desktops today are built and shipped with what’s known as a hard disk drive (HDD) thanks to their large capacities at reasonable prices, but as time has progressed, the far more advanced technology of a solid-state drive (SSD), has become more affordable. Solid-state drives have matured to the point where speeds against a hard disk drive are not even worth comparing, but how does this benefit your computer’s performance exactly?

Hey viewers, this is Anthony Ta from The Gamer Access and this the video review on the Twilight Symphony album. To this day, the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess remains my most favorite game to this day. However, one of the most harped issues is the sound quality of the music. There is little doubt that the music was meticulously written. However, the soundtrack is played through what is essentially a grander MIDI synthesizer. Through years of work, a small group known as Zelda Reorchestrated produced a “reorchestration” album of the music in Twilight Princess. The album is titled Twilight Symphony.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess remains my most favorite game to this day. However, one of the most harped issues is the sound quality of the music. There is little doubt that the music was meticulously written. However, the soundtrack is played through what is essentially a grander MIDI synthesizer. In 2006, the advent of real orchestra use and sophisticated music software in gaming made some of Twilight Princess’s music sound noticeably artificial. It did not stop the music from creating memorable themes for the Zelda Franchise. Through years of work, a small group known as Zelda Reorchestrated produced a “reorchestration” album of the music in Twilight Princess. The album is titled Twilight Symphony. It could be described as TP’s music put through a much more realistic-sounding orchestra, but it went much further than that.

There are few movie franchises as successful, entertaining, and enjoyable as Aliens. Gearbox Software recently put out two of the best games of the generation, Borderlands and Borderlands 2. So you would think that this would be a match made in heaven, and Aliens fans would get their first great game. Well you would be horribly, horribly wrong. At its best, Aliens is a passable game. At its worst, it's a broken, buggy, ugly mess.

One of the better-known franchises within the strategy role-playing game genre is Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem is a relatively well-known franchise, mainly due to Super Smash Bros. However, like fellow games within the genre, Fire Emblem games in the past were difficult to new players. While the games slowly implemented methods over time to make them less punishing, the reset button was still an FE player’s best friend when costly mistakes happen. Despite the rather steep difficulty for newcomers, those who like Fire Emblem highly appreciate the incredibly robust gameplay system and interesting story universes. The appeal of strategy RPGs is limited, but Nintendo has brought Fire Emblem Awakening to North America and Europe. Bringing some more refinements and additions to the gameplay, Awakening seeks to be more approachable to new players.

It has been a long time since the 360 or PS3 has had a truly great JRPG. Fans of the genre over the past 5 years have had to look to the PlayStation 2 and portable systems to get their JRPGs with rare, but not unheard of, exception. Now in 2013, we have Ni no Kuni, a collaboration between Studio Ghibli, the artists behind anime movies like Spirited Away; and Level 5, the team behind the Professor Layton games and White Knight Chronicles. Now can this pair make an epic JRPG that brings the genre back to relevance and to modern consoles? Read more to find out!

Anarchy Reigns is madness, a game where black holes, air strikes, and a pimp dragon punching a robot is something that happens all within a ten minute match. That is what it would leave you to believe, but really it is a solid brawler with a lot of problems that hinder the game. The question is can these be overlooked? Read to find out!
