Sins of the Family

Warning: Contains spoilers for the entire Danganronpa franchise.

Ever since last year’s release of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, and its follow up Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair (both remakes of previous PSP games), the Danganronpa franchise has gained a surprisingly large cult following in the US.

So I had a small selection of PlayStation 4 games to play. Infamous: Second Son was already out and I enjoyed that, but I wanted something else to play. The only game that intrigued me at the time was Call of Duty: Ghosts. Continue reading Call of Duty: Black Ops III Beta Impressions →
