In a stark contrast to Microsoft’s open approach towards its Xbox Series X/S console – the American company has allowed plenty of Western media, and some “Influencers” a hands on trial with its console – Sony has kept the PlayStation 5 under wraps. This has changed a bit over the last few days, as the…
Nintendo is known for stellar first party games, and some of the most beloved video game franchises in history. The company is also known for its secretive nature when it comes to unveiling new titles. In this day and age of social media and internet news outlets, we have gotten used to following our favorite…
Enix’s Star Ocean series is one of the few J-RPG franchises that originated in the 16-bit era that remains, to this day, somewhat relevant on home consoles. While the latest entries have been disappointing as SO: The Last Hope, and Integrity and Faithlessness, have for the most part been fairly average RPGs. One thing that…
After years of CD Projekt Red preaching that they wouldn’t subject its employees to the “Crunch Time” practices employed by most development studios (themselves included) across the industry, a Bloomberg report claims that the studio has broken its promise as we approach Cyberpunk 2077’s November 19th release date.

Everyone who regularly reads the site can attest to the fact that I am not a big fan of the Final Fantasy series post the departure of its creator Hironobu Sakaguchi. I am not alone in that line of thinking either. In fact, apart from Final Fantasy XII ( the game absolutely felt nothing like…
Metro 2033, and Metro: Last Light are in my opinion, the greatest first person shooting single player experiences ever made. Based on the Russian novels by Dmitry Glukhovsky, the games perfectly captured the essence of the books. The novels were highly atmospheric. Reading through Metro 2033, I could imagine the chilly temperatures of Russia’s vast,…

It should also be seen as an investment on their Xbox Game Pass platform, which is considered by the company as its future, and more importantly, the future of the industry. With Microsoft wanting to put Game Pass…
In the middle of the epic pre-order battle between Sony’s PS5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo news and announcements have been almost non existent. To top it off, this week Microsoft announced its “Megaton” buyout of ZeniMax Bethesda, and social media warriors continue to battle on discussions about the implications that such a historic…
14 years after Grandia III (PS2), and we never got Grandia IV. We might have to blame the aforementioned 3rd iteration of the franchise (I refuse to acknowledge Grandia Xtreme’s existence) for the death of the series. True, the JRPG genre in general, peaked in the late 90’s and early 00’s, then gradually declined back…
The News of Microsoft’s monumental, and historic buyout of ZeniMax/Bethesda, has many on social media wondering what Sony plans to do in order to ‘get back’ at Microsoft for the move. These fans are likely to wait a long time for such as response from Sony, as it is unlikely that they have the financial…
