Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master (Sega Genesis)

Posted on May 8, 2022May 8, 2022 by Paul Cessna

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,…

Oblivion: A Massive Leap for The Elder Scrolls Series

Posted on April 10, 2022April 16, 2022 by Paul Cessna

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…

Morrowind: Is the RPG Worth a Play Today?

Posted on March 26, 2022April 16, 2022 by Paul Cessna

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…

Elden Ring Sells 12m: Are Turn-Based JRPGs a Thing of the Past?

Posted on March 21, 2022March 22, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

It is well known that Japanese role-playing games, also known as JRPGs, had their golden era more than two decades ago in the mid to late 1990s. Heck, we even wrote a historical lesson on the topic a few years ago on this site.   Removing Pokémon games from the fray, JRPGs have played second…

Prince of Persia: An Incredible Platformer

Posted on March 19, 2022March 19, 2022 by Paul Cessna

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…

Shigeru Miyamoto on What Makes Ocarina of Time a Special Game

Posted on March 14, 2022March 14, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

I can never write enough about the Legend of Zelda: of Ocarina of Time, as it is my favorite game of all time. Thus, on my weekly internet search about the game and its development, I ran into a rather interesting Shigeru Miyamoto “Iwata Asks” interview.  The interview is part of a long string of…

No Escape (1994): Revisiting Nostalgia for Better or Worse?

Posted on March 12, 2022April 16, 2022 by Paul Cessna

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…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Resident Evil 5

Posted on March 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

To be honest, Resident Evil 5 had tough shoes to fill. Resident Evil 4 was seen as a watershed moment for the series, and its unprecedented critical and commercial success paved the way for the massive wave of hype surrounding the franchise’s 5th entry.   Resident Evil 4 shook the very foundations of the 3rd…

Waterworld on SNES: A Sunken Relic

Posted on March 4, 2022April 16, 2022 by Paul Cessna

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…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Posted on March 3, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is my favorite Castlevania game of all time. Yes, I know, blasphemy! But keep in mind that I have always preferred 3-D over 2-D gaming, and that Castlevania 64, despite all its flaws, has been the Castlevania game that I have played the most.   Castlevania is a series that never quite got…
