Xenosaga: Episode 1 (PS2) Review

Posted on February 11, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Reviewing Xenosaga: Episode 1 is a lot like reviewing the latest Final Fantasy on the market. Simply put the production values of Xenosaga are only rivaled by those of the FF series. The Xeno series might also be the only series capable of giving the Final Fantasies a run for their money. When Xenogears debuted…

Xenogears (PS1) Review: The Most Ambitious JRPG Story Ever Written

Posted on February 11, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Six years later, and we are still waiting for a true FF7 killer. A lot of RPGs have come and gone since then, some were good, some were bad and a few of them had dared to reach greatness only to fall short of it. In my eyes, the greatest attempt at surpassing the great…

Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii) Review

Posted on February 11, 2019November 3, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Xenoblade Chronicles is a Wii game considered by many to be the finest JRPG since Final Fantasy X, which is high praise but also a reminder that the genre has truly deteriorated since the late 1990’s. Xenoblade is Monolith’s latest child, and these are the same people who brought us the truly magnificent but flawed…

Wild Arms (PS1) Review

Posted on February 11, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Wild Arms is a humble RPG offering developed by Media Vision. The game was published by Sony in the US in 1997, just a few months before the inevitable release of the great Final Fantasy VII. Because of this, Wild Arms pretty much went under the radar for most gamers, but was successful enough to…

Vanguard Bandits (PS1) Review

Posted on February 11, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Vanguard Bandits is a Working Designs PS1 2000 Strategy/RPG, apparently PS1 owners got the worst of the two 32-Bit Generation Strategy/ RPGs released by By Working Designs. Unlike the all time great Dragon Force which was released on the Saturn, Vanguard Bandits while sporting the usual excellent packaging and translation work that Working Designs is…

Time Stalkers (DC) Review

Posted on February 11, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

There are some games that need to be reviewed in a certain way to make a point; this is one of them: One Saturday, I went to Electronics Boutique. I had 10 big ones. I didn’t have money to buy Skies Of Arcadia. So, I bought Time Stalkers saying to myself, “Time Stalkers can’t be…

Thousand Arms (PS1) Review

Posted on February 11, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Thousand Arms is a little PS1 RPG that was released in the US, back in 1999. The game developed by RED and published by Atlus, was distributed in a small amount of copies so by now in 2005, your best bet to get the game would be by going through Ebay. Thousand Arms is more…

The Witcher 3 (PS4) Review

Posted on February 11, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

The Witcher 3 might have been the most powerful reason that drove me to switch from the PS3/360 era to the PS4 this past holiday season. Having finished Skyrim, I wanted to experience the next great open world fantasy RPG, and The Witcher 3 provided an opportunity to do just that. The witcher 3 is…

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (GC) Review

Posted on February 11, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

This newest Legend of Zelda, has probably been the most controversial one and because of this I approached this game differently than I had approached any other of its predecessors. I can blame my lack of enthusiasm on the misconceptions I had on the Cel- Shaded look. However once I started playing I realized that…

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GC) Review

Posted on February 11, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Hail to the King! Perfection is a hard thing to find in this world, and more so in the convoluted world of video games. However if there was ever a game in the medium that deserved a perfect score that game would probably be The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In 1998 when the…
