Dreamcast Memories: Looking Back at Sega’s Last Console

Posted on September 9, 2019September 10, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

The Sega Dreamcast turns 20 today. Sega’s last console released on 9/9/99 with a multi-million dollar marketing campaign was Sega’s last effort in the hardware business. By late 2000 rumors were that Sega would pullout of the Hardware business, and they did in 2001-02 effectively killing the Dreamcast. We won’t go in depth today into…

Dark Souls: Remastered Edition (NS) Review

Posted on August 12, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

I will start this review off by admitting that I didn’t play Dark Souls back when it was originally released on 360/PS3. My first experience with the game has been the Dark Souls remastered edition for the Nintendo Switch which consequently is the subject of this review.  I will always remember 2011 as a sad…

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (NS/WiiU) Review

Posted on June 24, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Breath of the Wild if anything else is a sobering reminder that Nintendo still is in the top class of the development industry, and that the rest of the development world has been lucky that Nintendo since 2006 has been producing consoles that are a generation behind the competition thus officially placing its development teams…

Final Fantasy XV (PS4) Review

Posted on June 22, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

After Final Fantasy XIII I must confess that I boycotted the series. Sakaguchi’s departure left a void that remained unfilled a decade after his last game at Squaresoft; FFX. I bought FFXV at a bargain sale of used games for 9.99, meaning that my Boycott technically still stands as Square didn’t make a dime on…

Final Fantasy VII (NS) Remaster Review: Must-Buy for JRPG Enthusiasts

Posted on June 15, 2019April 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

More than two decades ago, Final Fantasy VII was released in North America. The game achieved previously unseen levels of  critical, and commercial success for a title on its genre.

Image via @glaciie Lon Lon Ranch Present Malon was stirred awake by the sounds of horse hooves and unintelligible chatter out side of her window. The sun was barely making its way out, but she could easily make out the form of three Hylian Knights, one them being her own Marcilus Stonard. She knew Stonard…

Image via @pikinipiki Lost Woods Present… Link could feel his head spinning. He had lost a lot of blood, and even under the guidance of Aryl the Lost Woods maze was quite frankly an annoying place to trek. The annoyance was amplified by Link’s moribund condition. “How much further Aryl? I am starting to black…

Image via @pikinipiki Hyrule’s Castle Present… Princess Zelda walked through Hyrule Castle’s stony halls with sleepy eyes and a frowned expression. It was barely first light and she had already been summoned by her father for an all important meeting in the council chamber. “So…he didn’t say what this was about?” She asked her attendant…

The Legend of Zelda: Shades of Time (FanFic) Chapter 5

Posted on June 14, 2019December 24, 2020 by Samuel Rivera

Hyrule’s Forest, Present… “Link! Wake up! Link! Link! Link! C’mon! Link!!” Link slowly opened his eyes at the sound of the Fairy’s voice. His vision remained dark, but he had to squint hard as the Fairy’s brightness was too much for his newly opened pupils. “Navi?” Link blurted out shivering, the bone piercing cold returning…
