The game holds a 96% Metacritic rating as its average score from 87 reviews. That makes it…

Spencer: Losing the Xbox One Gen (To Sony) Was the Worst Generation to Lose
Xbox’s history in gaming now spans over two decades. Hard to believe that PlayStation, as a brand, is only about 5 years older. Still, the Xbox didn’t perform badly on its freshman debut, as the original Xbox (24 million units sold) managed to outsell Nintendo’s GameCube (21.7 Million units sold), and had a bunch of…

So, I know that trading games (JRPGs in this case) at GameStop will seem like a thing of the past to Generation Z gamers.

Legend of Dragoon Sells 2 Million Units as a PS Classic, and Sony Plans a Revival
After decades of lurking in the darkness, The Legend of Dragoon grabbed some headlines this year thanks to shady emulation, and fanfare from its sect of fans.
