Golden Eye

An Honest 2023 Look at Golden Eye 007 on Xbox Series X

Posted on February 5, 2023February 6, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

About 3 weeks ago, Golden Eye returned on modern consoles (namely Xbox One/ Series X/S and Nintendo Switch) courtesy of Rare and Microsoft. The title is a remaster in the purest meaning of the ‘remastered’ word.  Golden Eye remains the same game that graced the Nintendo 64, but with enhancements such as a 16:9 widescreen…

Final Fantasy Producer May Have Hinted at a Possible Final Fantasy IX Remake

Posted on January 24, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Final Fantasy VII Remake Producer, Yoshinori Kitase, may have hinted at the possibility of an upcoming Final Fantasy IX ‘remake’ announcement in a New Year’s message that he posted on the Square Enix’s Official page a few weeks ago. Kitase, did not name the game itself, or even the ‘remake’ moniker, but he did talk…

TBT: Final Fantasy VII: That Time a Popular Game Killed its Princess

Posted on January 19, 2023January 20, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

So, at this point, it is well known in the gaming world (it has been nearly 26 years), that Aeris (now known as Aerith) died (was murdered really) in Final Fantasy VII. Gamers born after the fact, or near it, will not quite appreciate the shock and awe factor, of watching a heroine, or better…

The Last of Us (TV Show): Episode 1 Review

Posted on January 16, 2023January 17, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

The Last of Us is probably my favorite PS3 game of all time, and the Last of Us: Part II is, along God of War, my highest rated PlayStation 4 game ever (both scored 10/10).  Needless to say, I was very nervous when the TV show was first announced. After all, The Last of Us,…

Games That Will Cost You a Kidney: Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness

Posted on January 13, 2023January 14, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

I know what you are thinking: “The N64 Castlevanias were crap, no way that either copy of its two entries are going for more than $50.” If that’s what you thought when you first read the heading of this article; then I regret to inform you that you are (mostly) completely wrong my friend. First, the…

2023 is Here and The Never Ending Realm Turns 20 Years Old

Posted on January 1, 2023January 1, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Twenty years ago, I was 17 years old, and had an extreme passion with playing JRPGs and reviewing them in written form. In reality, some of my oldest reviews were written way before 2003, and on an actual ‘word processor’ typewriter. Reviews for games like Suikoden, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Final…

An End Year 2022 Cyberpunk 2077 Review: Is it Now Finished?

Posted on December 29, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Cyberpunk 2077, at one point, was the most overhyped RPG in history. Its hype, was mainly based on CD Projekt’s stellar reputation as a great developer with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Despite the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 was set in a world that couldn’t have been more different from The Witcher’s and that it…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Remembering a Merry 1998 Christmas 

Posted on December 22, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

It is known (if you are a long time reader of the site), that 1998 is, in my honest opinion, is the greatest year in gaming, bar none. Most us will look back at that time when we were 10-14 years old, as the best time for video games, regardless of the year. That said, 1998…

The Legend of Dragoon Remake: The Hate Mailbag Part III

Posted on December 5, 2022December 5, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

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…

Final Fantasy XVI Comes Under Fire for its Lack of Diversity

Posted on November 14, 2022November 18, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

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…
