Throwback Bit Thursday: Xenogears
Xenogears, much has been written about the game on this site, and on our FB page. Twenty-three years later, it remains a fan favorite. Some would even argue that it was the greatest JRPG on the original PlayStation. Are these fans, right? Well, even if they are not, they are certainly onto something. Xenogears…
A New Jak And Daxter Could Be Just What Sony Needs
The latest news of Sony maybe playing it safe rather than greenlighting risky projects have led me to remember some of the older PlayStation classics that I miss. Classics that arguably may not have been approved if they were presented today. Naturally many come to mind, but the one series I continuously want a reboot…
Final Fantasy VII’s Tifa
Final Fantasy VII‘s cast is nothing short of memorable. In fact, it is arguably the most recognizable. For me though, Tifa ended up being my favorite for a couple of different reasons. While the cast is pretty solid, Tifa stood out to me in ways the other characters did not. Tifa and Cloud’s Childhood Friendship…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Fable II
It is no secret that I disliked the original Fable. It was much hyped-up Xbox Action- RPG that failed to deliver on many of its creator’s (Peter Molyneaux) promises. Its sequel, however, aptly titled Fable II, would end up delivering one of the most amazing RPG experiences that I have ever played. Microsoft’s answer to…
