As Black Friday Approaches…Will You Be Able to Find a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X in Stock on Stores? My answer to this is to keep your expectations in check. Since the launch of “next”, now “current”, generation machines last November, I have only been able to find Xbox Series Xs in Walmart shelves once in…
JRPG fans everywhere have been eagerly awaiting for new bits of information regarding the upcoming Dragon Quest XII: Flames of Fate. Dragon Quest XII will be the latest installment in Square Enix’s longest running RPG series, and while Dragon Quest isn’t as popular on Western territories as other JRPG franchises, its fanbase has grown considerably…
Speculation about an upcoming ‘Remake’ or ‘Remaster’ of a PlayStation title has been floating around for months. We shared the news of a list of leaked titles a few months ago, and Square Enix’s Chrono Cross was one of the titles featured with in it. A Beloved JRPG Gets a New Lease on Life 21…
For the past few months, I have compiled several ‘Top 1-5″ and “Top 6-10” lists chronicling nearly every genre from nearly every console around.

I remember playing this SNES JRPG and loving every minute of it, especially the memorable music. My favorite track from…
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will turn 23 years old in just 3 days, and thus, there has been no better time to reminisce, and discuss, what perhaps is Zelda’s most important entry on this edition of Throwback Bit Thursday. The topic? The game’s story, and how Miyamoto (and Nintendo EAD) approached some…
Microsoft’s historic (7.5 Billion Dollars) acquisition of Bethesda, last year, changed the gaming landscape. The Xbox brand went from having ‘Few exclusives’ to owning franchises like Doom, Dishonored, Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, among others. The buyout was good news for Xbox owners, but scary news for PlayStation loyalists who feared that the long awaited…
Before we go any further, I want to make clear that these numbers were pulled out of Wikipedia (in large part), so some of these tallies might be either inaccurate or not up to date. An example of this is the Assassin’s Creed sales tally. The game had sold 155 million units prior to Assasin’s…
Let us get this out of the way, since its inception, Pokémon has been the best selling Japanese Role-Playing Game franchise in the world.
