The Nintendo 64 was home to my most memorable and awe-inspiring experiences (Mario 64, Golden Eye, Ocarina of Time), but my PlayStation was my “Storytelling” console thanks to its wide wealth of JRPGs….

What Went Wrong: Sega Saturn Edition
This is how history remembers the fifth-generation consoles’ sales war: Sony won. Nintendo survived with its cartridge-based Nintendo 64, and Sega crashed and burned with its Sega Saturn.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: A Hel Of A Good Time
I have been a fan of this franchise since the first installment on the PlayStation 3 back in 2007. There have been some hiccups, but I am extremely pleased with where Ubisoft has landed with these games. Ever since Assassin’s Creed Origins, they’ve been back on the right track.

Throwback Bit Thursday: Banjo-Kazooie
Of all the Super Mario 64 clones, Banjo-Kazooie, is in my opinion the best (at least during the 32-64 bit era). Rare’s first attempt at a 3-D platformer even managed to surpass Mario 64 in a few areas. A Beautiful World One area in which Rare’s game is clearly superior to Nintendo’s revolutionary game is…
