Slice, Dice & Rice - Review

Slice, Dice & Rice is a very simple fighting game that reminds me of those SNES games you saw at a Hollywood Video rental store and you looked at the cover and go, "This looks cool but I've never heard of it, maybe I should play it?"

You go home and enjoy the eye-popping graphics but you just didn't have fun. It didn't quite exactly sucked but just wasn't blowing you out of the water either. It just wasn't a memorable experience.

This is exactly what this game is.



The game mechanics are simple. You have 3 attacks and a parry button. You got a vertical, horizontal, and heavy attack. No health bars. One attack and you're dead meat, sucka.

First of all, the graphics look super cool and RADICAL, DUDE. I love the flashy graphics and feels very simple to the eyes. However, the gameplay felt very barebones to me and it quickly lost its flavor.

Their reasons however is to casualize the fighting game flavor so that more people can access it at a higher competitive level. Although I admire their efforts to bring in more people in the Fighting Game Community it has always fell flat and lost the very reason why fighting games are good in the first place: Complexity.

I couldn't force myself to play any longer. It just got boring real fast. In order to get good in this game you have to time everything. Mashing buttons will not work, son.

Now, I didn't want to give up on this game quite yet. There has to be some other modes to keep this game interesting enough for me to keep playing right?



Wrong. Here's the other modes. Story mode for all 8 characters.. Just a wall of text for the story before each match. Then you got versus mode for COUCH MULTIPLAYER. The thing that bothers me is that this game could have easily grown if this had online multiplayer but it doesn't. This is what ultimately killed this game in my honest opinion.

And last but not least training mode.

That's basically it, nothing memorable about it. Just kinda popped up on Steam and had no other redeeming qualities to it. If you had some extra cash, say.. 10 buckaroos laying around and wanted to play with your bros on something competitive.. Sure, why not? But then again there's plenty of other worthwhile couch multiplayer games way more worthy than this, like Nidhogg 2.

If you're looking for anything else it's not going to last long in your library.

Pros:

+Great graphics
+Simple, elegant gameplay

Cons:

-No online multiplayer
-Crappy story mode
-Lacks other modes/features, barebones.

2/5

League of Legends has a ton of K-Pop references

For those of you who live under a rock League of Legends is one of the worlds largest and most popular multiplayer PC games at the moment. It is backed up by a strong esports community and is especially known to have the best players from Korea. With that being said though, it would be a no-brainer to include K-Pop references in League of Legends. Certain Champions have various skins you can purchase and included with them is their own exclusive dances which ties to a lot of K-Pop music videos. Check out the video below.

Want to revoke EA's Star War's License? Sign this Massive Petition

My face when I realized there's thousands of people who signed it already For those of you who are unaware, In 2013 EA has partnered with Disney to develop Star Wars video games. However, EA's newest Star Wars game Battlefront II has hit a HUEG-MONGOUS controversy where their entire content of progression has heavily relied on pay to win mechanics. It was more popularized on /r/StarWarsBattlefront when they realized you can become better at someone else in the game by buying loot crates in-game with real cash.You can however earn credits by playing but compared to purchasing loot crates in the game it will be a lot quicker for people who purchased it which isn't fair. If Battlefront 2 was free I'd be ok with it but the game has a massive 60 dollar pricetag. Now they're taking it a step further by introducing a change.org petition and as of this writing they're at 65K. If you want revoke EA's license (which I hope you do) please do so over here.

Nidhogg 2 Review

Well this time around they heavily improved upon the formula. And one of the most obvious notes is it improved on the graphics quite significantly. Instead of simple 8-bit graphics it seems like it reached to a more 16-bit approach, showing off even more silliness off of the game. From the first Nidhogg you didn't have much customization of your main character. You can add a bunch of silly clothing to him/her according to your taste. I hope they will add more customizations in the near future I like it quite a lot. And one of the more intriguing additions to the sequel is more weapons. Unlike the first you only had a rapier. This one has added a Broadsword, Dagger, and a new ranged weapon, bows. For singleplayer content everything is the same you have to go through 10 levels and win. But I liked knowing they added more detailed levels to keep things interesting. Now for multiplayer, you got regular matchmaking and a newly implemented ranked mode.
