Despite the long running nature of the series, the PlayStation pair of “Destiny” titles both remain the most legendary and hard to find, making them “kidney”…

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.

However, what perhaps remains the franchise’s most valuable game is a 25-year-old entry.  1997’s (1998 in the U.S.) Tales of Destiny is a game that will…

Posted on December 10, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

I remember the days when you couldn’t have sensible discussion about Game of the Year awards in FB comment sessions without a number CD Projekt fans butting into the discussion in order to let everyone know that Cyberpunk 2077 would not only win the award for Game of the Year 2020 (the award went to…

So far (I am writing the game’s official review for the site), Arise, is by far, the best Tales game that I have played since Tales of Vesperia.  That said, Namco clearly…
