This is how history remembers the fifth-generation consoles’ sales war: Sony won. Nintendo survived with its cartridge-based Nintendo 64, and Sega crashed and burned with its Sega Saturn. Hard cold facts (sales numbers) confirm the introductory paragraph. Sony’s PlayStation took the video gaming market by storm selling an unprecedented 102.49 million units. Nintendo would take…
I have been a fan of this franchise since the first installment on the PlayStation 3 back in 2007. There have been some hiccups, but I am extremely pleased with where Ubisoft has landed with these games. Ever since Assassin’s Creed Origins, they’ve been back on the right track. A Beautiful Open World Assassin’s Creed:…
Of all the Super Mario 64 clones, Banjo-Kazooie, is in my opinion the best (at least during the 32-64 bit era). Rare’s first attempt at a 3-D platformer even managed to surpass Mario 64 in a few areas. A Beautiful World One area in which Rare’s game is clearly superior to Nintendo’s revolutionary game is…
Much like villains, JRPGs wouldn’t be much of anything without their heroes. They defeat the evil that they face and make us cheer for them along the way. There are plenty to pick from but this week we will be looking at just 5 of the very best. Cloud – Final Fantasy VII You can…

Fallout 3 is my favorite Fallout game. True, Fallout: New Vegas is the better Role-Playing game, but the experience of exploring a vast post-apocalyptic wasteland that Fallout 3 provided hasn’t been matched by any of its sequels.  Fallout 3 and Freedom in Gaming Perhaps the one thing that struck me the most about my…
The last decade has brought us some wonderful JRPGs. There are plenty to choose from but according to Metacritic, these are the top five from the last ten years. 1. Persona 5 (Metascore 93) Persona 5 was initially released on September 15th, 2016. Since then it has received a definitive released called Persona 5 Royal,…
I have never chronicled my progress through a game before in an article like this. However, I feel that Dragon Quest XI, and my experience with it is worthy of a write up before I finish the game and deliver the official review for the website.  I Was Never A Fan of the Dragon Quest…
The short answer is yes, but it is more complicated than that. I am extremely excited for the new direction of the games (Pokémon Legends: Arceus) but I am also very worried. Don’t Fix What’s Not Broken For 25 years now, the Pokémon games have retained their familiar structure. You start in the first town…
