Worse than the current Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Drift issues, and way more publicized (perhaps because the failure rate was much higher) than the PlayStation 3’s Yellow Light of death. The infamous Red Ring of Death, which plagued the Xbox 360, victimized most of us who got a launch system. The estimated rate of failure for…
It feels strange to write about Shadow of the Colossus as a “Throwback” game. Just this year, I played through its brilliant remake (Developed by Bluepoint).

Skies of Arcadia was one such casualty. Skies of…

His popularity isn’t necessarily due to his “good” takes, but rather to his outlandish statements. His most recent statements about Nintendo is guaranteed to draw the ire of some big “N” fans. Nintendo Should Ditch The Original Switch,…
Lost Odyssey = The true Final Fantasy XI? Much can be said about the Final Fantasy series in its post Sakaguchi era. The series has gone through a rollercoaster of directors, and the main single player entries have ranged from great but different (Final Fantasy XII), to on rails and non-sensical (Final Fantasy XIII), to…
Konami, a once upon time powerhouse in console gaming, with massive AAA franchises such as Metal Gear Solid and, Castlevania unders its portfolio made news waves when it pulled out of the console space back in 2015. It was a bit of a shocking move, as the company wanted to redirect its efforts to what…
The Elders Scrolls Series is Bethesda’s prime RPG franchise, but the company’s Fallout titles have been well received and commercially successful ventures. Fallout: New Vegas, developed by Obsidian Entertainment (now owned by Microsoft Studios), and published by Bethesda itself, turns 10 today, and the excitement for a sequel has never been more palpable.
