Video game reviews, fan fiction, gaming news, and more! Since 2003. We especially love JRPGs, RPGs and the best of the rest. Never Ending Realm: Where your favorite games live forever!
As I have made clear in one of my previous features, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was a gaming phenomenon. So much so, I rated it in my top 3 (canon) Zelda games of all time. It really took some of the best aspects of Breath of the Wild and combined it…
So, given that I spent the last month writing a The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time piece for its 25th anniversary, I decided to give other 1990s games some love. Today, I am remembering, and listing the most memorable Storylines from turn-based RPGs that I played during the magical 16 bit – 32 bit…
So, I know that trading games (JRPGs in this case) at GameStop will seem like a thing of the past to Generation Z gamers. But in the late 1990s, this was the way to to get the latest games while not breaking the bank (much). GameStop/Funco Land/Electronics Boutique would always win in these dealings. They…
This one was a fun article to write and one that required a great deal of thought. The 1990s were filled with JRPGs, and most titles of the era received sequels…even within the span of a year or two after the release of the first game in their respective series. The games listed here are…
Final Fantasy is a long-time running series populated by good to great games. But there are a few exceptions to that rule. I have made an effort to list the five worst main Final Fantasy games of all time on this list. This is not a list based on Metacritic or GameRankings. It is a list…
Traditionally, when talking about great years for gaming, 1998 is often referred to as the greatest year for gaming ever. A close look at 2010 showcases a gaming list (at the top level) that is as good, or nearly as good, as the legendary 1998 top ten best games’ list. 2010 brought us games in…
As we approach the end of the 2000s decade, we begin to see some of the most refined games from the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 era. As always, we took off the list games with less than 20 reviews to their name, and games that had multiple versions on the list. We have removed versions…
2008 was a great year for gaming. Big titles from major franchises such as Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto arrived on “new” console hardware. For the first time in years, a JRPG managed to break into the top ten best games of the year. The game of the year was GTA IV,…
Greetings Friends! We have, after 17 weeks, reached the 2007 GameRankings.com’s best games of the year list. As we have done recently, the lower scoring version of a game that is featured twice or more on the list is removed to allow for other titles to enter. This time, PS3 versions of BioShock and COD4…
While the Xbox 360 arrived in 2005, its impressive next generation software did not hit stores until 2006. The year also saw the launch of the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii, meaning a ‘new’ console generation had just begun. As usual, Sony’s system had an awful launch lineup, and thus, none of its games…
