October's PS Plus Games Have Been Announced and Nintendo is Giving Away A Free Pokemon for Halloween.

Hello and welcome to The Gamer's Source, your destination for gaming information. October's PlayStation Plus games have been announced and hackers are making their way to court for stealing from Microsoft, Epic Games and the US Government. SO, without further ado, the news: 

Vacation With A Bit of Murder in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair - The Take Your Time Review



Quick Note: This sequel takes the story from the first and improves it in many ways, but also inflates play time with some pretty useless systems. If you're a fan of the first and enjoy mystery games, dive right in. If you didn't like the first one or never played it, move onto another game.

Earlier this year the delightfully devious Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc came to the states. The twisted premise of solving your fellow classmates murders while trying to figure out why you're trapped in Hope's Peak Academy was enthralling, though there were a few confusing design choices. The sequel, Goodbye Despair, does a great job of answering some questions while stacking on many more queries, but with even more unnecessary grinding in the middle.

Trials and Executions Amongst Friends

Quick Note: Though it suffers from a small identity crisis and some odd pacing, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is still a fun time with a great story and really interesting play style. For fans of the point and click Adventure games, like Walking Dead or Zero Escape series, this is one you should check out. 

My taste in gaming has changed quite drastically over the years. For a long time I refused to play anything that wasn't a JRPG. Then I slowly moved towards the story driven action games. These days I try to play every possible genre to keep my mind open to new things and to be able to part of the gaming conversation. Two years ago, I don't think I would have enjoyed Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc as much as I did today. That's not to say the game doesn't have any flaws, but there's a great story and solid gameplay that makes those flaws easier to over look.
