![]() But its overall narrative kept me invested enough to want to see it through to the end, with encounters with other characters adding a nice dose of context to the other story mode, Soul Chronicle. Unfortunately, that lack of voice acting and those static screens mean the plot can get a little dry at times. There’s also a great sense of progression thanks to the RPG elements and smartly designed weapon upgrade system that kept me coming back. Libra is challenging, its mission variety does a great job of keeping the combat fresh, and it forced me to explore movesets in ways I otherwise wouldn’t have. But after a couple of hours, it quickly became one of my favorite story modes I’ve ever played in a fighting game. ![]() Libra of Souls starts slow with a story presented almost entirely without voice acting or cutscenes. The main attraction, Libra of Souls, is an RPG-esque mode that focuses on your created character, known in the world as “The Conduit.” You’ll level up, buy new gear and items, travel around Europe and Asia via a map screen, and complete missions, sometimes with crazy conditions like beating a series of enemies in an arena as slippery as an ice rink. Yet rather than telling two different stories, they actually cover the same timeline in wildly different ways. Libra of Souls and Soul Chronicle are Soulcalibur 6’s two story modes. SoulCalibur VIs starting lineup of 20 characters 17 returning veterans, two new faces, and the series most appropriate guest star to date, Geralt of The Witcher fame is about the norm for the first new release of a generation, and its safe to assume that many notable absentees will rejoin the battle down the line, with popular. ![]() A Tale of Souls and Swords, Eternally Retold And even with all the new mechanics that could complicate Soulcalibur 6, it’s still one of the easiest fighting games to jump into, start slamming buttons, and still have a great time. I love that lethal hits are new “super” counters that are very similar to crush counters in Street Fighter 5. I’m thankful guard impacts no longer cost meter. The rest of Soulcalibur 6’s mechanics feel like a refinement of an already fantastic combat system. And Soul Charges add a choice for players when spending their meter: Either dump a bar of meter on one huge move that deals damage up front, or use a Soul Charge to potentially deal more damage over a longer period of time. It’s a great addition that adds further distinction between characters. Players can build meter by landing attacks, then at the cost of a bar of meter, give themselves a unique buff and access to new powerful moves and combos. It has its own narrative, world map, item. Other characters have their own ideal outcomes from a Reversal Edge clash, rewarding those who do the research while adding a deeper level of mind games in matches.Įvery character now also has a Soul Charge. Its lore-heavy with dialogue choices that are mostly fluff, with custom character creations to fight. However, both vertical and horizontal attacks allow him to get great follow up damage, with a horizontal attack even allowing him to combo into a Critical Edge.

Richardson's sudsy love goes back to his eastern Kentucky childhood, watching his grandmother wash clothes. "The year I turned three, Santa brought me a toy washing machine," he shared. He has also written a terrific book on the subject. Richardson, however, loves laundry with the zeal of a lifelong passion. Others may be more pragmatic: They need a crisp, white shirt, and the only way to make that happen is to clean and iron it.

King, Mann, and their artistic team produced a clever comic that really dives into the minds of the collected heroes of the DC universe. This was a very unique and fascinating crossover comic which contains some notable flaws, but is something that I quite enjoyed. Can the killer be caught before they strike again, or will this case irreparably damage the world’s greatest superheroes? Whatever happens, the DC universe will never be the same again. As the heroes attempt to uncover the killer lurking amongst them, their world will be further turned upside down when the confessions and therapy sessions recorded at Sanctuary are leaked to the media, casting a new light on them. However, Booster and Harley are both convinced that they saw the other commit the crime, and are now out to stop the other survivor by any means necessary. The answer may lie with the only two survivors of the Sanctuary massacre, the greatest hero you have never heard of, Booster Gold, and the mad clown princess, Harley Quinn. ![]() But who is responsible for the killings, and could the culprit be one of their own? As the world’s superheroes reel from the deaths of friends and colleagues such as Roy Harper, Red Devil, Commander Steel, Poison Ivy and Wally West, their thoughts swiftly turn to justice. However, no sanctuary lasts forever, and after losing contact with the facility, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman arrive to find Sanctuary in shambles and several patients brutally killed. Sanctuary is a hidden facility containing a cutting-edge artificial intelligence programmed to provide advanced therapy, support and counselling to any hero that needs it after harsh battles and traumatic events. Realising this and determined to help their fellow superheroes, the trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman designed Sanctuary. Heroes in Crisis turned out to be a rather fun and intriguing comic, especially as King came up with another fascinating narrative.Īfter years of fighting and surviving against the very worst evils in the universe, even the greatest heroes will start to crack under the unreal pressures of their chosen lives. I was also drawn to this comic as I am major fan of Tom King and Clay Mann after the work they recently did on Batman, which featured some really cool and compelling storylines. However, I recently grabbed the Heroes in Crisis collected edition (containing all nine issues of the limited series), mostly because I had heard some conflicting reports about whether it was any good, and I thought that it would be worth seeing just what sort of comic it really was. ![]() Now I have to admit that I have been somewhat avoiding a lot of the recent DC crossover events, mainly because I think the universe is getting a bit too complicated, what with the multiple versions of characters and timelines. For this latest Throwback Thursday article, I look at an interesting DC Comics crossover event from a couple of years ago, the deep and compelling Heroes in Crisis. Welcome back to my Throwback Thursday series, where I republish old reviews, review books I have read before or review older books I have only just had a chance to read.

As his fame soared in the late 1950s, he toured actively, appeared in over a dozen films, was a regular on "Arthur Godfrey & His Friends" from 1955-1957, and hosted ABC TV's "The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom" from 1957-1960. ![]() Boone's many signature songs include his hit covers of such R&B classics as Fats Domino's "Ain't That A Shame" (1955) and Ivory Joe Hunter's "I Almost Lost My Mind" (1956), as well as such traditional pop favorites as "Don't Forbid Me" (1956), "Love Letters In The Sand" (1957), and "April Love" (1957), the title song from the movie in which he co-starred with Shirley Jones.īorn in Jacksonville, Florida and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Boone began recording for Republic Records in 1953 before moving to Dot in 1955.

The Christian church created legends of righteous and godly saints battling and vanquishing Satan in the form of dragons. Other mythical beasts such as trolls, elves and fairies interact with people (sometimes mischievously, sometimes helpfully) but their main role is not as a combatant. They don't simply exist for their own sake they exist largely as a foil for bold adventurers. ![]() But this doesn't really make sense because a creature as powerful as a dragon surely doesn't need to pay for anything, right? It's probably more of a symbolic treasure, not for the hoarding dragon but instead a reward for the brave warriors, such as the Knights of Camelot (opens in new tab) who would vanquish the evil beast.ĭragons are one of the few monsters cast in mythology primarily as a powerful and fearsome opponent to be slain.
