If you have read my work on this site, you will know that I like the Fable series, and that its reboot is one of my most anticipated titles on the Xbox Series X. Microsoft, so far, has had nothing to compete against Sony’s Ghost of Tsushima and Horizon series in the open world role…

Days Gone Director: Game was Panned Because Reviewers were too ‘Woke’
And so, Days Gone continues to make news waves for controversial reasons. John Gavin, the game’s director, who has, for the most part, been bitter against Sony for its treatment of the IP, expressed in a tweet that reviewers panned the game because they were too ‘woke’ to embrace Days Gone’s gruff looking White biker…
The Legend of Dragoon Remake: The Hate Mailbag Part III
And so, a year and a half after our historically successful (yes, we went viral) April Fool’s Joke about The Legend of Dragoon’s remake; the hate mail keeps pouring in. Despite the fact that we hinted plenty of times during the article/interview spoof that it was an April Fool’s joke, and it was published on…
A Plague Tale: Requiem Review (PS5/Xbox Series X)
A Plague Tale: Requiem, was one of my most anticipated games of this year. This was mainly due the fact that I enjoyed (and had the pleasure of reviewing) the first entry in the series which was aptly titled, A Plague Tale: Innocence, a few years ago. That particular game, came out of nowhere, from a…
Final Fantasy XVI Comes Under Fire for its Lack of Diversity
Final Fantasy XVI, despite a somewhat impressive story trailer reveal a few weeks ago, has come under scrutiny, and criticism, from a group of fans wanting a more ‘diverse’ cast, within the confines of the game’s storyline, than the one shown in trailers. In an era, were US media in particular, seems to be striving…
Final Fantasy XVI New Story Trailer: Is This the Game Longtime Fans Wanted?
Final Fantasy XVI’s new trailer, aptly titled, “ambition”, is out. I had to watch it a few times to digest certain aspects of the much awaited entry; an entry which further distances itself from the older traditional style of turn-based party combat. The new entry, helmed by Naoki Yoshida, seems, at least in my view,…
Final Fantasy VIII: The Most Underrated Final Fantasy?
Now, the heading above, will sound hypocritical to some who have read our reviews over the past 20 years (the site turns 20 in 2023). Until very recently, I did not like Final Fantasy VIII; at least, not nearly as much as I did its legendary predecessor. Final Fantasy VIII was the first video game…
The 5 Most Replayable Single Player RPGs of All-Time (IMHO)
Role-Playing Games are known for their epic stories, and convincing fantasy worlds. On this top five, I will try to list the RPGs that I have replayed the most over time. These games are from different eras, and some might not be as replayable today, as some of the more modern games. However, these games…
TBT: Five Critically Underrated 32-Bit Era JRPGs
Generally speaking, the mid to late 1990s are considered the golden age of the Japanese Role Playing game genre. High Quality JRPGs flooded the PlayStation in quantities not seen since on any system. Amongst the sea of stars, some of these titles were poorly received by critics despite the fact that they were quite good…
The JRPG Gods Have Answered: Suikoden 1 & 2 are Getting Remastered
The Suikoden series has been dead for over a decade. Slow sales of traditional JRPGs during the tail end of the PlayStation 2 era played a part in the franchise’s demise. And yet, not all hope is lost. Konami announced last week that a remastered bundle of the Suikoden I & II is coming in…
