For the past decade, video game file sizes have shot up to extraordinary levels. Going into the 2020s, it seems that the problem has only been exacerbated. File sizes are going up for a multitude of reasons and along with it comes a multitude of problems. Why is this happening? There’s no easy answer to…
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age was a wonderful game. For me, it was my very first experience with the Dragon Quest franchise, and I honestly fell in love. I instantly felt like I missed out on years of wonderful JRPGs. I honestly don’t know what took me so long to give this…
Last month, on December 12th to be exact, marked the 15th anniversary of Working Designs’ defunction. For those of you unfamiliar with the company, Working Designs was an American publisher that brought over Japanese games to the States. Most of these Japanese games were role-playing games that otherwise would have never made it to our…
Nintendo might be up to something. 2020 was a big year for Nintendo and it seems like it’s all leading up to something big. The Switch also just got its biggest Online update yet and with little to show for it so far. So many things are coming (or, ending) for the Switch in March…

Kingdom Hearts was one of the first RPGs I ever played on my PlayStation 2. I remember thinking it was revolutionary. I was so excited to see a game that lets you visit Disney worlds and interact with those characters. To this day I have replayed it and the other games in the franchise multiple…
I recently started a new save file on Fallout: New Vegas, and I’m enjoying it more now than ever. New Vegas was released on October 19th, 2010 as a follow-up to 2008’s Fallout 3. It was developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was met with high reviews at the time of…
In my lifetime, there have only been two game releases that had me more hyped up about them than I was back in 1999 for Final Fantasy VIII. Those games were Super Mario 64, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. That I expected Final Fantasy VIII to stand proudly with those two masterpieces…
Hades, developed by Supergiant Games, is a refreshing take on the roguelike (or, roguelite) genre. Originally released in 2018, Hades has won several Game of the Year awards in 2020. That’s no accident — the game is absolutely excellent. For several reasons, Hades embodies what a good roguelite should be. More importantly, Hades represents what…
