A Japanese TV Channel took up the task of polling 50,000 Japanese gamers. The poll asked these gamers to name their favorite game of all time. Given the large sample size of polled gamers, the choices listed here represent the current state of Japanese gaming, as far as Japan’s favorite games go. So let’s do…
Final Fantasy XVI is one of the most eagerly anticipated titles of 2022. Details about the game have been scarce enough, and its ‘no show’ at the Tokyo Games Show was disappointing for fans. The game’s producer, Naoki Yoshida, addressed FFXVI’s ‘missing in action’ status for 2021 with the following twitter post: https://twitter.com/finalfantasyxvi/status/1475335618905669635?s=20 It seems…
20 years ago, many home console gamers had a very merry Christmas. Microsoft’s Xbox and Nintendo’s GameCube were new consoles on the market, and the PlayStation 2 was beginning to hit its historic stride with great games like Final Fantasy X and Metal Gear Solid 2 arriving on the system. If we dig deeper, we…
Nintendo’s 64-bit console was a great system, despite its failure to maintain Nintendo’s dominance of the home console market. The system, hampered by its chosen format for media (cartridges as opposed to CDs), featured some of, if not, the most revolutionary games of all time.

For about two decades now, Sega home consoles have been extinct. If you are 22 years old or younger, it is likely that you have never played (or much less owned) a Sega Home Console. JRPG fans who did own Sega systems back in these systems’ “heydays” know that they didn’t have as many role-playing…
When I think of fast-paced arcade shooters, the Contra series comes to my mind as games within this genre that I played during my younger days. Furyion Games’ new trailer for their upcoming (2022) fast paced arcade shooter, Death Carnival, reminded of the legendary series, only that it looks faster, more hectic, and modernly pleasing,…
Breath of Fire, as a series, has been dead for a long time (last game was Breath of Fire VI, a free to play online game in Japan), but you can still enjoy the series’ games across different platforms. My experience with the series is limited with Breath of Fire IV being my favorite, but…
The Fable franchise, at one point, was one of Microsoft’s most important exclusive properties under its Xbox brand. In fact, the Fable reboot (currently in development by PlayGround Games) is one of the most anticipated exclusive games on the Xbox Series consoles, and one that is expected to go head to head with Sony’s premier…
