Pro Evolution Soccer 2016 Review
Platforms: Playstation 3, Playstation 4, PC (reviewed), Xbox 360, and Xbox One It’s the pre-season friendly fixture and the crowd is buoyant, their excitement palpable, the atmosphere electric. ‘The King is Back’, ‘Long Live the King’ they chant. Things often go well in these first few games, there’s no pressure – it’s a time for […]
Gemini: Heroes Reborn Review
Platforms: Playstation 4, PC, and Xbox One (reviewed) When I got the notice that Gemini: Heroes Reborn was up for review for Pop Culture Beast, I initially let it slide. I’ve never watched a minute of the new season, never mind the initial run of the series a few years ago. I couldn’t imagine it […]
Slow Down, Bull Review
Platforms: PC and Mac (reviewed) Slow Down, Bull is an item collect-athon for the PC and Mac with a rather interesting premise. You play as a bull with a bit of an artistic and perfectionist streak that’s also prone to mood swings at the drop of a hat. In his quest to make the ultimate […]
Soul Blazer Review
Platform: SNES Soul Blazer is an action-RPG that was released back in 1992 on the Super Nintendo. Not exactly a genre the SNES was drowning in at the time, but with the benefit of being 20-plus years in the future, there’s certainly a lot of other games of its ilk you can pick from on […]

He is out to learn everything he can about humanity, in order to avoid becoming scrap. During his journey QT3 will visit a number of unique planets filled with a crazy cast of characters […]
Tearaway Review
Platforms: PlayStation Vita As you begin Tearaway it becomes apparent that Media Molecule set out to create something that was not only unique, but also special. From its papercraft world to its determination to make the player feel like they are part of the game, Tearaway’s first impressions are largely positive. As the game begins, […]
Beyond: Two Souls Review
Platform: Playstation 3 (reviewed) and Playstation 4 It’s a rare occasion that a game comes along and compels you to see it through to the end in as few sittings as possible. Having something create a world you want to continue to be lost in is a rare treat indeed. Beyond: Two Souls, tries really, […]
Summer Carnival ’92 – Recca Review
Platforms: Famicom and 3DS Virtual Console On the very rare occasion, we get a nice treat on Nintendo’s Virtual Console. We saw some games that never saw a release in North America come to the Wii through the service, giving people a chance to play them without spending a good chunk of change on importing […]
