Final Fantasy XVI cover

Final Fantasy XVI: Story is Heavily Inspired by Game of Thrones, and its Combat by Devil May Cry

Posted on May 24, 2023May 24, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Final Fantasy XVI (its first four hours) have been sent to big website writers, and the preview notes are in. As we have discussed before Final Fantasy XVI will feature a much darker, more mature story, coupled with fast paced action combat.  The previews have been largely positive, and most writers have loved the new…

Nintendo Does it Again! The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is an Early Favorite for GoTY Awards

Posted on May 12, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Main (Nintendo EAD developed) Zelda games are never just good, they are either very good, or great, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (so far) has proven to be the rule, rather than the exception. The game holds a 96% Metacritic rating as its average score from 87 reviews. That makes it…

Square Enix: FFXVI Ditched Turn-Based Combat to Attract GTA Fans and Forspoken Fails

Posted on March 10, 2023March 10, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Final Fantasy XVI producer, Naoki Yoshida, is not shy about making big waves on the news. After going on a strange rant about how the term “JRPG” was discriminatory; a rant that stirred controversial takes amongst the JRPG fanzine. Yoshida takes controversy to a new level, yet again, by suggesting that Final Fantasy XVI took…

The Top 5 RPGs I Must Replay Now and Then

Posted on February 21, 2023February 21, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Last week, I wrote a column about the JRPGs that I would like to replay some day, but most likely would never get around to replaying for a variety of reasons. Today, I will list a completely opposite collection of games. These are RPGs (not all are JRPGs) that I must replay every 1-2 years….

God of War: Ragnarok (PS4/PS5) Review

Posted on February 17, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

2018’s God of War is one of the best game of all time, and certainly, one of the best games on the PlayStation 4’s stellar catalogue of exclusive games. Its sequel does nothing to take the series somewhere new. It is a continuation of the first game’s storyline, and its gameplay mechanics.  Raganarok is slightly…

Games That Will Cost You a Kidney: Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness

Posted on January 13, 2023January 14, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

I know what you are thinking: “The N64 Castlevanias were crap, no way that either copy of its two entries are going for more than $50.” If that’s what you thought when you first read the heading of this article; then I regret to inform you that you are (mostly) completely wrong my friend. First, the…

The Last of Us Series Sells 37 Million Units: Is Part III in the Works?

Posted on January 6, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

The Last of Us has been around for nearly a decade (2013), and it could be argued that depending on how well made, and popular the upcoming (Jan 15) HBO show becomes, the franchise will reach a peak in popularity far surpassing anything that it has accomplished so far.  Thus, the possibility of The Last…

A Plague Tale: Requiem Review (PS5/Xbox Series X)

Posted on November 23, 2022November 23, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

A Plague Tale: Requiem, was one of my most anticipated games of this year. This was mainly due the fact that I enjoyed (and had the pleasure of reviewing) the first entry in the series which was aptly titled, A Plague Tale: Innocence, a few years ago.  That particular game, came out of nowhere, from a…

Games That Will Cost You a Kidney: Mystical Ninja (N64)

Posted on July 17, 2022July 17, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

When we think expensive retro games, for some strange reason, Nintendo 64 games do not come to mind. This is true, despite the fact that just last year a sealed copy of Mario 64 was sold for a whooping 1.5 million dollars at an auction. Yeah, that’s way more expensive than ‘kidney’ money. This week,…
