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,…
Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda/ZeniMax can be seen as a direct answer to Sony’s first party strength. 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…
History Repeats Itself …Almost… Perhaps, even before Microsofts botched Halo Infinite presentation, analyst’s forecasts and even the trends on social media painted a somewhat ominous picture for the Xbox Series X over the course of the next generation when matched against the Sony PlayStation 5. The grim forecast for Microsoft was not the result of…
For the past few months we have lamented the loss of Microsoft’s Halo Infinite as a powerful incentive to buy an Xbox Series X at launch. The Xbox Brand has toiled behind the PlayStation juggernaut for the past decade because of its lack of great exclusive titles. However, fortunes are about change for the company….
Over the years, numerous gaming franchises, from Super Mario Bros and Mortal Kombat to World of Warcraft and Prince of Persia have (albeit with limited success) made the transition to the big screen with live-action film adaptations. However, there has been one glaring absentee in this list, that being the hugely beloved Legend of Zelda…
Sony has done a great job in showcasing its games prior to the November 12th launch of its PlayStation 5 console. Buzz on social media, and the internet is at all time high levels, and the company is heading towards a total sell out of its Next Generation console over the Holidays. The company has…
Chrono Cross (2000) isn’t as widely beloved (or remembered), as its predecessor; the incomparable Chrono Trigger. This, despite being released at the climax of the JRPG golden era, and to stellar amounts of critical reception. The game still holds a 94 Metacritic rating, which is a higher rating than any FF game (only FFIX has…
