Medal of Honor

Medal of Honor on PlayStation (1999)

Posted on May 15, 2022May 15, 2022 by Paul Cessna

Some of my fondest memories in gaming were the result of my eldest brother purchasing a PlayStation 1. The console allowed me to experience incredible games in stunning 3D such as Spyro the Dragon, Tomb Raider, and Final Fantasy VII. These titles were some of my favorites on the console; however, one game would make…

Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master (Sega Genesis)

Posted on May 8, 2022May 8, 2022 by Paul Cessna

Playing Tenchu: Stealth Assassin’s a few weeks ago reminded me of an exceptional ninja game originally released on the Sega Genesis, Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master.  Though I had not played it in a while, I recalled Shinobi III having some excellent sprite work and entertaining side-scroller gameplay. After recently replaying Shinobi III,…

Hylics: An Abnormal RPG

Posted on April 24, 2022April 24, 2022 by Paul Cessna

My initial introduction to the Hylics series was by watching Hylics 2’s trailers on Youtube. This RPG’s strange and interesting graphics captured my attention, and I enjoyed the music so much I listened to the soundtrack on repeat once it was released on Mason Lindroth’s (the creator) YouTube channel. For a long time, I desired…

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins Review

Posted on April 17, 2022 by Paul Cessna

In 1998, stealth-focused videogames became serious contenders in the videogame market. We saw critically acclaimed releases like Metal Gear Solid for PlayStation and Thief: The Dark Project for PC. These games were exceptional, but FromSoftware’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice would later draw inspiration from another stealth-based game franchise created in 1998—Tenchu. Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, created…

Posted on April 10, 2022April 16, 2022 by Paul Cessna

An Incredible Game for the Xbox 360 Generation On Xbox 360, Oblivion is my most frequently played single player game. This title led the Elder Scrolls into the next generation on many levels: better graphics, fully voiced dialogue, and a legendary create a character system.

Morrowind: Is the RPG Worth a Play Today?

Posted on March 26, 2022April 16, 2022 by Paul Cessna

Morrowind was a monumental game for me on the original Xbox; I easily spent over 300 hours on it in my many playthroughs. It made me love open-world, first-person RPGs. However, with newer Elder Scroll titles like Skyrim and Oblivion readily available, is it worth playing 2002’s Morrowind? Possibly. It all depends on what you…

An Introduction to the World of Prince of Persia Many who owned/own a Super Nintendo will know several of the classic platformers—Super Mario World, Mega Man X, and Donkey Kong Country 2 to name a few.

It was a movie game on SNES that I recollected fondly. I didn’t recall watching the movie, so I decided to check it out and revisit the game, and…

Waterworld on SNES: A Sunken Relic

Posted on March 4, 2022April 16, 2022 by Paul Cessna

The Waterworld Movie I was always fascinated with the movie Waterworld. Even though it received mixed reviews upon release, I thought the world design was magnificent. It was essentially Mad Max with boats. The movie sets and vehicles always amazed me in how detailed and authentic they appeared. Everything looked like it was ripped from…
