The Guilty Gear franchise is known and well-loved in some gaming circles, representing some of the most solid game mechanics and off-the-wall characters of just about any fighting franchise out there. While definitely a niche brawler, the series was fun and frantic and did a great job of proving that the 2D fighting genre is alive and well, even in the face of some lofty 3D competition. Fortunately, the team behind the Guilty Gear franchise is carrying its legacy to high-def consoles with their spiritual successor, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger.
Bit Cultures writer Conner plays through his Steam library in alphabetical order, writes a brief summary of his experience on each game, and then gives them his own personal rating. Here's week 10 of Steam A to Z. This week - BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Blocks That Matter, BloodRayne: Betrayal, and Borderlands.
Funimation have announced the English voice cast for the BlazBlue: Alter Memory anime, which they have licensed for release in the U.S.
DJ Killzown Jones of RGN writes, "BlazBlue Calamity Trigger is still a solid fighter that PC fighting game fans should pick up . It is a bit of a disappointment that long load times of the games original release are still present and the games sequels aren’t offered as expansions/add on’s but these things alone should shy away games that haven’t played the game or others who are returning to the series."
