Throwback Bit Thursday: Street Fighter II 

Posted on June 9, 2022June 9, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The 1990s were a good time for everything related to martial arts. Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, and Van Damme movies were all the rage. Kids shows like the Power Rangers and movies like The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles drove younglings all over America into Martial Arts schools.   Before the wired special effects shenanigans turned…

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…

Shinji Mikami: Resident Evil 4 Remake Can “Make the Story Better”

Posted on February 6, 2022February 8, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

In my honest opinion, before the modern remakes (Resident Evil 2: Remake is excellent), the Resident Evil series has had two big high points amongst some great titles, and other more pedestrian ones. The high points? Resident Evil 2 (PS1) and Resident Evil 4 (GC).   In terms of modern relevance, RE4 has been the most…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Breath of Fire Musings

Posted on December 16, 2021December 17, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Breath of Fire, as a series, has been dead for a long time (last game was Breath of Fire VI, a free to play online game in Japan), but you can still enjoy the series’ games across different platforms. My experience with the series is limited with Breath of Fire IV being my favorite, but…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Breath of Fire IV

Posted on September 16, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Breath of Fire III is often remembered (perhaps, rightfully) as the more legendary game of the pair of PlayStation entries in this series. However, I truly found myself enjoying, for the most part, Breath of Fire IV. A Mid Tier RPG? One of the reasons why I enjoyed Breath of the Fire IV, is that…

Monster Hunter Rise Review

Posted on April 10, 2021June 29, 2021 by Dakota Deitsch

Monster Hunter is a franchise that has been around for quite some time now. It has always been successful, especially in Japan, but western audiences have flocked to this series since the release of Monster Hunter World in 2018. World became Capcom’s most successful game ever, so with the announcement of Monster Hunter Rise and…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Resident Evil 2

Posted on February 26, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

In many gaming circles, 1998 is considered the best year for video games in history. Games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Xenogears, Half-Life, Banjo-Kazooie, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Tekken 3, and Resident Evil 2 among others. All these games (many which still top All Time Great listings) were released within…

Monster Hunter: World Reintroduces The Franchise Perfectly

Posted on February 14, 2021February 14, 2021 by Dakota Deitsch

The Monster Hunter franchise has been extremely successful in Japan, spanning across multiple consoles and handhelds alike. Here in Western markets though, it never quite took off in the same way that it did in Japan. Monster Hunter: World though, changed things tremendously. Monster Hunter: World was able to break out in a way that…
