The greatest open world fantasy game of all time the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (at least by yours truly’s reckoning), returned in 2016, in remastered form for PS4 and XBOX ONE. It added mod support, and a minor graphical overhaul. In this review, I will answer the most important of questions regarding the game: Does…

Bastion (NS) Review
I had always been reluctant to buying independent games. Even with most of them being at affordable prices on the various digital stores. It was difficult for me to choose an ‘indie’ game over an older triple A game on sale for a similar price. My perception changed a bit with the advent of the…
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (NS) Review
Ni No Kuni: The Wrath of the White Witch (released in 2011 in Japan, and in January 2013 stateside), was a PS3 JRPG made by Level 5. Level 5 at the time was known for the Dark Cloud series, Rogue Galaxy and Dragon Quest VIII. As far as JRPGs go they are one of the…
The Order: 1886 (PS4) Review
The Order: 1886 is a third person action adventure in the vein of The Last of Us, with a heavier emphasis on Story telling. While Ready at Dawn (the developer) is known for graphically stunning PSP games, what they achieved (visually speaking) on the PS4 in 2015 remains five years later a wonderful tech showcase…
Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen (NS) Review
The Switch is, or at least in my personal experience has become the machine of choice for large RPG adventures. The ability to play large games in chunks anywhere and at different times thanks to portability and the ease of a touch of a button “sleep” mode has made playing massive games quite an enjoyable,…
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (3DS) Review
“Time is a Valuable Thing…” In the words of the legendary band, Linkin Park, time is truly a valuable thing. Perhaps, truly the most valuable gift of all. Time is always cruel, it never stops “ticking life away” (another LP reference), which makes both N64 Zelda entries special, and dark titles in comparison (Twilight Princess…
Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4) Review
Red Dead Redemption 2 was one of, if not the most anticipated games of this generation. It broke, and set, records for sales and revenues on its first weekend, and has sold over 25 million copies in less than a year since its release. For those not familiar with video game sales, those numbers are,…
Dark Souls: Remastered Edition (NS) Review
I will start this review off by admitting that I didn’t play Dark Souls back when it was originally released on 360/PS3. My first experience with the game has been the Dark Souls remastered edition for the Nintendo Switch which consequently is the subject of this review. I will always remember 2011 as a sad…
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (NS/WiiU) Review
Breath of the Wild if anything else is a sobering reminder that Nintendo still is in the top class of the development industry, and that the rest of the development world has been lucky that Nintendo since 2006 has been producing consoles that are a generation behind the competition thus officially placing its development teams…
Final Fantasy XV (PS4) Review
After Final Fantasy XIII I must confess that I boycotted the series. Sakaguchi’s departure left a void that remained unfilled a decade after his last game at Squaresoft; FFX. I bought FFXV at a bargain sale of used games for 9.99, meaning that my Boycott technically still stands as Square didn’t make a dime on…
