Playing Tenchu: Stealth Assassin’s a few weeks ago reminded me of an exceptional ninja game originally released on the Sega Genesis, Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master. Though I had not played it in a while, I recalled Shinobi III having some excellent sprite work and entertaining side-scroller gameplay. After recently replaying Shinobi III,…
My initial introduction to the Hylics series was by watching Hylics 2’s trailers on Youtube. This RPG’s strange and interesting graphics captured my attention, and I enjoyed the music so much I listened to the soundtrack on repeat once it was released on Mason Lindroth’s (the creator) YouTube channel. For a long time, I desired…
In 1998, stealth-focused videogames became serious contenders in the videogame market. We saw critically acclaimed releases like Metal Gear Solid for PlayStation and Thief: The Dark Project for PC. These games were exceptional, but FromSoftware’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice would later draw inspiration from another stealth-based game franchise created in 1998—Tenchu. Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, created…
An Incredible Game for the Xbox 360 Generation On Xbox 360, Oblivion is my most frequently played single player game. This title led the Elder Scrolls into the next generation on many levels: better graphics, fully voiced dialogue, and a legendary create a character system. For those who played Morrowind on the original Xbox, Oblivion…
Real-time Strategy Games and the Journey to Definitive Edition There have been countless real-time strategy games developed in the past three decades; however, relatively few RTS’ have found commercial success when compared to titles from the first-person shooter and roleplaying game genres. Some popular RTS series that come to mind are StarCraft, WarCraft, and Command…
Morrowind was a monumental game for me on the original Xbox; I easily spent over 300 hours on it in my many playthroughs. It made me love open-world, first-person RPGs. However, with newer Elder Scroll titles like Skyrim and Oblivion readily available, is it worth playing 2002’s Morrowind? Possibly. It all depends on what you…
An Introduction to the World of Prince of Persia Many who owned/own a Super Nintendo will know several of the classic platformers—Super Mario World, Mega Man X, and Donkey Kong Country 2 to name a few. I played many of these and other platformers on the wonderful home console; there were so many great platforming…
No Escape (1994) Film Over the weekend, as I was looking back at several old games, I remembered the Super Nintendo Entertainment System title No Escape. It was a movie game on SNES that I recollected fondly. I didn’t recall watching the movie, so I decided to check it out and revisit the game, and…
The Waterworld Movie I was always fascinated with the movie Waterworld. Even though it received mixed reviews upon release, I thought the world design was magnificent. It was essentially Mad Max with boats. The movie sets and vehicles always amazed me in how detailed and authentic they appeared. Everything looked like it was ripped from…
The Danish made Arcadia Fallen is a role-playing game, of sorts. Yes, I know I will be attacked by the ‘If it doesn’t have turn-based battles and statistical progression it is not a role-playing game” crew for that statement. However, my assertion holds true. Galdra Studios’ Arcadia Fallen allowed me to role-play a fantasy character…
