1997’s Grandia, touted to be the Sega Saturn’s answer to Final Fantasy VII, is a legitimately great Japanese Role-Playing game in its own right. The Saturn version holds an 87% GameRankings meta score. As a spiritual sequel to GameArts’ own Lunar Series, Grandia had some big boots to fill. Not Quite the “Final Fantasy VII…
“Final Fantasy XV -The Dawn of the Future-“ is more than just the definitive, true conclusion of the FFXV Saga (at least until a PS5 port of the game comes out with all the cancelled DLC restored) we all deserve, and hopefully the end of what would come to be known as the “Bahamut Saga”,…
When it comes to Pokémon, I am no stranger. I have enjoyed every generation since the beginning, but none have quite matched the effect that generation 2 had on me. I remember opening Pokémon Silver one Christmas morning and being completely excited. I had a blast with Pokémon Red but Silver just blew my mind….
For the past couple of years, Grand Theft Auto V’s online mode (GTA Online) has been making some interesting changes. Its developer, Rockstar, has decided to expand the online service into a more solo-friendly user experience. Initially published by Rockstar in September 2013, it is hard to believe the game has been out for more…
This week we are celebrating Shinji Mikami’s 30th year birthday in the industry. As such, it seems like an opportune time to look back and reflect on Resident Evil 4. The GameCube release of the series’ 4th entry is Mikami’s highest rated game, and a bona fide masterpiece. The GameCube Needed a Mega Hit Keeping…
CD Projekt, a company that gained respect, and the gaming community’s love with its Witcher franchise is now in shambles. I have never seen such a precipitous fall from grace for a “AAA” gaming company within the span of a week. Literally, two weeks ago the company was one of the most beloved publisher/developers in…
Growing up, we always had PlayStations. My first console was the first PlayStation, so I never got to experience the NES or SNES. Of course, I was born in 1992 so I pretty much missed the window anyway, but I still always felt like I missed a huge part of history. When I stumbled upon…
My obsession with Soulsborne games has led to some of my most rewarding gaming experiences… as well as been the bane of my existence. When I say “Soulsborne” games, I’m referring to FromSoftware’s quintology: Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, Dark Souls III, and Bloodborne. It is no secret that FromSoftware’s Souls series is…
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, was Nintendo GameCube’s Swan Song, and the Wii’s launch killer app for the Nintendo core gamer. While I ranked the game as the 4th best Legend of Zelda game in our “Top Ten All Time Zelda List“, Twilight Princess is my personal second favorite Zelda game, after Ocarina of…
It has been nearly a week since Cyberpunk 2077’s much awaited, and now much maligned launch. The game has provided a very good, though bug filled role-playing gaming experience for high end PC players, and a poor, broken at times, bug filled experience for users at the other end of the spectrum (2013’s console owners). …
