"Fairytale Fights is aiming for ‘Pixar-style Animated Super-Violence’, but what it pulls off is more ‘Aardman Reject’. It’s like someone made the characters out of dough, threw together the environment with whatever was left in the bowl, and didn’t bother to bake it. The blade-wielding Snow White looks more like a 9-year-old with clay and serious emotional problems went wild than the Disney-esque badass the designers clearly intended."
Reject Reviews rips apart games from the bottom of the bargain-barrel. This week, Jack Bromley presents Fairytale Fights.
"The main problem with Fairytale Fights is that it is amazingly boring. Nothing happens. Between the multiple controller-massages of a forty-minute chapter, nothing happens. All that’s between Candy Land, Candy Castle, and Candy Dungeon is pockets of costumed cookie dough and a few spinning obstacles which might make me look up from Facebook."
Nintendo Switch 2 code name, a massive Pokémon leak, Concord’s revival, and FOMO in collecting.
This week on the Game Deflators podcast, John and Ryan kick off the episode with a discussion about FOMO in game collecting and how it drives collectors to acquire new items they think they need. The guys discuss their own experiences and how they try to manage this urge to make more mindful collecting decisions.
Next, John and Ryan cover the latest updates on Concord, PlayStation’s live service that was recently pulled from sale. They’ll talk about the recent updates still happening on Steam and what they could mean for the game’s future. Additionally, the guys break down the recent Pokémon leaks, including leaked source codes, unused designs, and plans for upcoming titles.
Top cap off the episode, the Game Deflators discuss their experience with Fairytale Fights for the PS3. A gimmicky title with more blood and gore than you could imagine from little red riding hood; but is it still worth trying?
For co-op lovers, these games are all must-have experiences that will remind you of the glory days of gaming.

I have A LOT of games. They traverse all the generations that have been, and there are some gems in there that I’ve yet to play. Fairytale Fights happened to be one of those, I popped it into my Xbox 360 recently at the behest of a friend, and the first thing that entered my mind was “Da fuq am I playing?”
There's so many games out there that make you say this, I can't wait to find more of them!
