Hail to the King! Perfection is a hard thing to find in this world, and more so in the convoluted world of video games. However if there was ever a game in the medium that deserved a perfect score that game would probably be The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In 1998 when the…
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii) Review
Square Enix could learn a few things from Nintendo. The later has handled its sacred Zelda series throughout its twenty five year life span with much more care. Square has milked the FF series to no end, and did make a pedestrian main series entry in the god awful Final Fantasy XIII. Meanwhile, the Zelda…
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS) Review
The 3DS is one powerful handheld. It is not quite Vita powerful, and yet, its power lies somewhere between the Wii and the Xbox 360/PS3’s capabilities. Star Fox 64 3D has bump mapping in some levels, and the remake of the great and legendary, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is further proof…
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64/GC) Review
Nothing in this world is perfect; everything that was, or is, has flaws. It is the law of nature; it is the law of life. This law also applies to video games as human beings who are hindered by these laws create them. That being said, something very special, in fact, something quite extraordinary…
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (N64/GC) Review
While the 16 bit era came and went with only one Zelda title, the legendary A Link to the Past, the 32-64 bit era was a bit kinder to Zelda fans as it featured two great Zelda titles. One of them was of course (Arguably) the greatest game of all time Ocarina of Time in…
The Legend of Zelda (NES/GC) Review
This was the game that began everything, not just the Zelda series, but everything. Every RPG, especially Action-RPGs that came after the original Legend of Zelda, took gameplay and level design ideas from it. In 1987 this game was nothing short of revolutionary, a lot like what Ocarina of Time was in 1998. However I…
The Bard’s Tale (PS2/XBOX) Review
An Average Action RPG That Is Worth The Price of Admission Thanks to the Jackass Protagonist The Bards Tale is a weird game… in an era where every action RPG not named Zelda or Kingdom Hearts sucks, The Bards Tale is a welcome breath of fresh air, for one reason alone…its plot. No it’s not…
The Legend of Dragoon (PS1) Review: A Bad FF7 Clone
The Legend of Dragoon is a role-playing game that had seemly everything going for it: Three plus years in development, a 100 + man development team working on its creation, a massive advertisement campaign, and a multimillion-dollar budget coming out of the deep financial pockets of Sony itself. With all of this behind it, what…
Tales of Vesperia (XBOX360) Review
MAYBE THE GREATEST J-RPG TODAY! I have played the Tales Series for about three entries, Symphonia, Legendia and now the 10th installment (in Japan) 2008’s Vesperia. I must say that it is perhaps one of the few long running RPG series that has maintained high standards of quality in terms of staying true to traditional…
Tales of Symphonia (GC) Review
Namco’s 2003 Tales of Symphonia is along with Sega’s Skies of Arcadia, the only J-RPG star in the dry RPG dessert that it is the Game Cube’s landscape. The long running Tales series carries a lot of prestige with it, so it is my pleasure to say that Tales of Symphonia does not disappoint and…
