Throwback Bit Thursday: Re-Loving Tales of Vesperia

Posted on May 26, 2022May 26, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Tales of Vesperia is my favorite Tales game ever. After more than a decade without making a serious run through the game, I decided to give it another try last week. Basically, playing older JRPGs is difficult for me these days, because if I already know how the story ends, I quickly lose interest in…

Games That Will Cost You a Kidney: Alundra

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

Editor’s Note: We have read your comments from our previous “Games That Will Cost You a Kidney” features, and most have been positive, and thoughtful. However, some of our readers have complained that a few of these games “do not cost a literal kidney” because they could be found for much less than $600 in…

After More than 5 years Final Fantasy XV Sells 10 million Units

Posted on May 18, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

So, Final Fantasy is not what it used to be. Over the last 20 years, the series has lost its luster with critics. Even though most of its games are now multi-platform releases with considerable selling potential, its titles have struggled to sell proportionately well. Thus, the news of Final Fantasy XV finally reaching the…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Alundra is a Grown Up’s Zelda Game

Posted on May 12, 2022May 12, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

This week as I continued to play Elden Ring, I began to look back at what games were tough, or tougher than Japan’s newest poster boy. Some of the 2-D Castlevania games were very difficult. Even Castlevania 64 was quite challenging if you went for the good ending.   Castlevania 64 in particular did not…

TGIF: Looking Back at Horizon Zero Dawn

Posted on May 6, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

I never wrote an official review for Horizon Zero Dawn. So, this piece will stand as my “official” take on what I consider to be my 2nd (behind The Last of Us) favorite newest franchise of the last 10 years.  To be fair, in terms of a single story driven playthrough, I might have enjoyed Horizon…

Final Fantasy XVI Producer Wants Players That “Drifted Away” From FF Back

Posted on April 29, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

As we await for the arrival of Final Fantasy XVI, we recognize that Final Fantasy is, perhaps, the most famous name (aside from Pokemon) in terms of Japanese role-playing games. The series’ fame in the west was largely built in the 1990s with Final Fantasy VII and a few other PlayStation entries which drove the series…

Square Enix President: Japanese Developers Shouldn’t Imitate Western Games

Posted on April 19, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

It is well known that except for The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, and now Elden Ring, Western RPGs rule the gaming world in terms of sales. Square Enix is a successful company, but its Final Fantasy series has fallen off its “king of the hill” perch over the last two decades with newer RPG games…

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…

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild 2 Delayed Until 2023 

Posted on April 8, 2022April 8, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Given the massive commercial (over 26 million copies sold) and critical success of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nintendo’s 35-year-old franchise has never been more popular than it is today. Thus, the news of a delay for its sequel has caused some disappointment amongst fans.  Nintendo Shares Drop 6% After News  The…

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…
