In my honest opinion, before the modern remakes (Resident Evil 2: Remake is excellent), the Resident Evil series has had two big high points amongst some great titles, and other more pedestrian ones. The high points? Resident Evil 2 (PS1) and Resident Evil 4 (GC). In terms of modern relevance, RE4 has been the most…

This week, Final Fantasy VII turned 25 years old (Japanese release), and it seems like the perfect moment to think back and reflect on how big a game it was for both the Japanese Role-Playing genre and the PlayStation’s emergence as the dominant home console player in the mid to late 1990s.

The famed (Xenogears/Chrono Series) composer thanked his fans in a tweet where he hinted at a big announcement for one of his current projects scheduled to take place next month.

In the unlikely event I ended up stranded on a deserted island, I would need an irrational Tetsuya Nomura/Kazushigue Nojima plot device that would…
Nintendo Switch Online subscription members will have something special to look forward to in February. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask finally arrives to the service, though we can’t vouch for the eventual quality of the emulation. Does Majora’s Mask Make the Service Expansion Pack a Worthy Investment at Last? If you have never…
Before anyone complains about Dark Souls not being ‘Throwback” material, know that it has been more than 10 years since Dark Souls was first unleashed upon the gaming world, and that it was released two console generations ago on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. What made me consider the game for today’s weekly section…
