You know what I need in my life? A new Guilty Gear that wasn’t some weird and confusing strategy hybrid or sidescrolling beat-em-up. You know what I’m getting? A new Guilty Gear game called Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign-. At this point we only know Sol, Ky, and Millia are in it but I’m just forward to more murderous rage at I-No and Dizzy not being relegated to strategy smut RPG’s anymore.

Review - Sacred Citadel
Sacred Citadel was a game that entered my nerd radar way back at PAX 2012. After some thorough hands on time at the event, I was excited and anxious for the game to actually come out. Now that it’s finally out, let’s review the thing.

Tomoko Kuroi is a unkept Freshman who yearns for the attention of boys at her new High School. Unfortunately, she soon learns that she is quite the opposite of what people would consider popular, and many of her special interests don’t carry over to normal society. The original manga that this anime is based off of has had a large cult following grow over the last year due to the facial expressions and awkward black humor contained within.
The series starts this July in Japan. Yen Press has announced that they are localizing the manga later this year.
