The dream is over…for Lunar fans who awaited a 3rd entry in the beloved 16-bit era series which earned worldwide renown when it was ported to the PlayStation in the late 1990s. Sean Lowe, the man behind the efforts to revitalize the series received (reportedly) a message from Game Arts earlier this month confirming that…
Last week, we listed the best games of the year 1990 according to GameRankings.com. That year was dominated by Sega Genesis arcade conversions. Today, we list 1991’s greatest games according to their critical average on the now defunct site. This week the SNES takes over the listing, and that should not come as a…
The announcement of Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition sent shockwaves across the internet. The Chrono series has been somewhat of an under-utilized internal property for Square Enix. Consequently, it was a shocking surprise when last year a Nvidia GeForce Now leaked listing of unannounced games in development listed a Chrono Cross Remaster as one…

Video games were in their infancy period, and thus, new genres and groundbreaking gameplay innovations were a more common occurrence than in modern times. The most important of event of all was the transition…
The PlayStation 3 was an interesting machine, to say the least. It was a tech marvel when it first launched back in 2006 as it featured Blue-Ray playback right out of the box and a “cell” CPU that was, at least on paper, state of the art. However, the system’s performance in actual game…
What ten games would you bring if you were stranded on a deserted island? has crossed my mind before and is an often used, made up scenario to discuss “the best”. In the unlikely event I ended up stranded on a deserted island, I would need an irrational Tetsuya Nomura/Kazushigue Nojima plot device that would…
Before anyone complains about Dark Souls not being ‘Throwback” material, know that it has been more than 10 years since Dark Souls was first unleashed upon the gaming world, and that it was released two console generations ago on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. What made me consider the game for today’s weekly section…
