Horizon Forbidden West (PS5/PS4) Review

Posted on September 21, 2022September 21, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

While we don’t have a review of Horizon Zero Dawn on the site, those of you who have read my work throughout the years, know that I loved the game’s visuals, storyline, and its main character. Given the above, I was thrilled when the Horizon Forbidden West was announced for PS4 and PS5. The first…

Sony Resurrects Days Gone as a Film After Canning its Game Sequel

Posted on August 23, 2022August 23, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Days Gone is a weird Sony IP. Long development struggles, a third party (Unreal 4) Engine, average critical scores, and less than stellar early sales, all hindered the franchise’s prospects. Days Gone is, certainly, Sony’s most recent ugly duckling. Sony prides itself on PlayStation being the home to the best exclusive games (85+ Metacritic ratings),…

A Mid 2022 PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X Comparison

Posted on August 22, 2022August 22, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

So, I finally found a PlayStation 5 at Walmart this week. It wasn’t on shelves, for some reason Walmart refuses to stock up the PlayStation shelves (more on that below), but alas, I finally have it. It took me 1 year and 8 months after the console’s  launch to find it on stores. It took…

Top 5 JRPGs That Deserved, but Didn’t Get a Sequel

Posted on July 28, 2022July 29, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

This one was a fun article to write and one that required a great deal of thought. The 1990s were filled with JRPGs, and most titles of the era received sequels…even within the span of a year or two after the release of the first game in their respective series. The games listed here are…

Games That Will Cost You a Kidney: Mystical Ninja (N64)

Posted on July 17, 2022July 17, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

When we think expensive retro games, for some strange reason, Nintendo 64 games do not come to mind. This is true, despite the fact that just last year a sealed copy of Mario 64 was sold for a whooping 1.5 million dollars at an auction. Yeah, that’s way more expensive than ‘kidney’ money. This week,…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Sonic Generations

Posted on July 14, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Sonic 3-D games, for the most part, have sucked. Don’t get me wrong, I highly enjoyed Sonic Adventure back in 1999-2000, but that might be the only 3-D game in the franchise that I thought was any good. My son (who is 5 years old) loves Sonic, he loves Mario too (and has played dozens…
