Dragon Ball FighterZ review

Chillin’ With Krillin

HIGH Blowing enemies away with super attacks, then seeing the result from outer space.

LOW That’s one insufferably drawn-out story mode.

WTF Android 21 has one hell of an eating disorder.


Dragon Ball Xenoverse Review

Yell, punch, yell, fly, yell, yell, repeat

Dragonball Xenoverse

HIGH Each match looks like a scene straight from the anime

Of course, since most fighting games have incredibly steep learning curves, this doesn't work quite the way it should.

Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku – Review

Based on Akira Toriyama's insanely popular anime series, DBZ is an awful game that exists solely to make money off fans of the anime. Just how bad is it? It's so bad that my girlfriend's ten-year-old son, a huge Dragon Ball Z fan, spent 15 minutes playing it before putting it down in frustration. Fortunately for him, he didn't have to play through the whole game and write a review…
