  While we wait for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to continue the remake saga, PowerWash Simulator is giving fans the chance to wash away all their troubles. Hot on the heels of today's launch of the Tomb Raider Special Pack, the power-washing sim (really, the name says it all) is getting ready to head to Midgar.   Details are light, but players can look forward to working their power-washing magic on enemies, locations and objects from Final Fantasy VII . Some of those with WASH ME written all over them were mentioned on the Square Enix Extreme Edges Twitter account, including 7th Heaven, the Hardy-Daytona motorcycle and the Guard Scorpion enemy.   RELATED: Final Fantasy VII Remake Saga Continues with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth   Stay tuned for more on the release timing as it's announced.   PowerWash Simulator is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC.   Source: Square Enix , PowerWashSim on Twitter     ---

2022 Anime Rewind: The Best Moments and Memes in Anime

Image
  What will you remember most about anime in 2022? What news, events and memes would be the ultimate definition of last year? How are you going to explain 2022 to the next generation of anime fans? Don’t worry, I’ve gathered the most interesting moments that happened in those 365 days. From the  One Piece  Times Square takeover to Ash finally becoming  Pokémon  champion, 2022 was an incredible year for anime fans!   Attack on Titan Final Season Part 3 Announcement     Who would’ve thought that Attack on Titan Final Season would last long enough to be split into three parts? After the broadcast of the last episode of Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2 , the official Twitter account for the anime announced that the series would continue with Attack on Titan Final Season Part 3 . With only a few manga chapters left of Hajime Isayama's story, the news got everyone wondering what kind of format the ending was going to take. We now know that it will be split into two halves .

OPINION: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Changed The Way We See Pokémon's Story

Image
  The nature of a prequel, or at least of a story that’s set in a series’ past, dictates that it does at least a little bit of explaining. Everything from the “It’s Darth Vader as a little kid” of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace  to “Oh, that’s where the Xenomorph came from” of Prometheus exists as foundational callbacks to the overall text — nostalgia turned into an instruction book. Pokémon Legends: Arceus , set in the Sinnoh region of the past (known as the Hisui region in those olden days) does this, too. Everything from outright explanation of distinct and obvious hints to familiar hairstyles helps build a bit of a picture of how the Pokémon world as we know it came to be.   It is, by far, the Pokémon game with the most interest in the outright exploration of its own lore. And I believe that, as with most prequels, playing Pokémon Legends: Arceus means that it’s impossible to look at the main series in the same way again.    RELATED:  Which Pokémon Game For The

OPINION: One Piece Odyssey Is the Beginning of What a Great One Piece Game Could Be

Image
  One Piece Odyssey is a pretty good game. Most of its positive attributes come from sheer enthusiasm for the material. The voice acting is expressive and consistent. The writing is often funny and laden with references to the anime/manga. The battle animations, seeking to recreate the explosive and/or cartoonish powers of the beloved Straw Hat Crew, are fun to watch — even if the nature of JRPGs have you performing them over and over again.   That said, it isn’t a perfect game. And while playing it (and enjoying it for the most part) I began to wonder why truly great One Piece games are in such short supply. It does not have the equivalent of, say, a DRAGON BALL FighterZ , something that feels like it specifically captures the unique experience of a series without re-chronicling it for us, making the game less of an adaptation and more of an extension.   Image via  Steam   Having reached its 25th year of publication in 2022, the story of One Piece is both simple and labyrin
