A game largely ingrained in its source material, Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment features a strong combat system and a ton of content at a bargain price, but the perplexing character creator and other flaws may ruin it for those that are not already fans of the franchise.

Excellently designed combat system; Story is perfect complement to anime for fans

Character creator is useless; Frame rate drops and load times in hub town

Deception IV: Blood Ties' Vita release was my initiation to the series. As a newcomer, I didn't know what to expect, and the trailers presented something I could only describe at the time as "kooky".

100 new missions; New character; Studio Mode

New missions are nothing new; Still makes little sense; Gets repetitive

Game Info Sword Art Online is a popular anime series about gamers getting trapped inside an MMORPG. As the story goes, the release of Sword Art Online is treated as reverently as Dragon Warrior , with gamers all over the nation waiting in line to pick up their copy of the game.

I don't care what anyone else says: 2014 was a great year for gaming. From one month to the next, publishers delivered a slew of memorable titles and unexpected cult-classic sequels.

Two of my favorite things in the world are video games and anime which is why I'm always a little apprehensive when a game is created that merges the two. Well, the ones that we here in the States are privy to that is and that list isn't exactly a long one.

Hardcore trappers only I really liked the original release of Deception IV . It was refreshing to see the series get another lease on life after taking a hiatus with Trapt all the way back in 2005, and newcomer Laegrinna fit right in.

Hey, watch your step! I can't save you from that bear trap, or that axe either. That aside, welcome back to the world of Deception IV: Nightmare Princess , a sequel to Deception IV: Blood Ties from KOEI TECMO.

For the most part the story elements are deftly handled and Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment offers up a solid RPG experience at a budget price.

Re: Hollow Fragment is an appropriate title for yet another shallow licensed game.

Competent Translation; flexible and rewarding battle system; thrilling boss battles; lots to do

Floaty and weak controls; constant technical issues; boring script; creepy attitude towards female characters

Sometimes it takes a few paragraphs to explain what makes a game fun. But that's not the case with Deception. The charm of this long-running franchise is simple. It mixes the best elements from Home Alone with the murderous glee of being a cold-blooded serial killer.
