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….

The Top Five Sega Dreamcast RPGs According to Critics

Posted on September 4, 2021January 21, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The Sega Dreamcast was not necessarily known for its wide library of great RPGs. Perhaps, this (the DC’s small RPG library) was due to a short lived life cycle, and to Sony’s dominance in that genre. Still, Sega’s final machine did have some real gems, and we have taken up the task of listing the…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Record of Lodoss War: Advent of Cardice

Posted on September 2, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

The Record of Lodoss War: Advent of Cardice was a strange title for me. I purchased it went it first came out, but I was about 16 years old then, and was disappointed by its graphics, the fact that it didn’t play like the J-RPGs that I had become accustomed to playing, and the allure…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Shenmue

Posted on July 29, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

For all intents and purposes, Shenmue was billed as the game to save the Dreamcast. Shenmue was meant to be an ambitious multi-chapter saga set in an open world environment. According to multiple sources Shenmue and Final Fantasy VII hold the records for the most expensive games made in the 1990s. It is hard to…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Sonic Adventure

Posted on July 1, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

On September 9, 2021, Sonic Adventure will be a whooping twenty two years old (in the U.S.), and today, it is a perfect day to remember Sega’s first foray in to the 3-D arena with its premier Mascot. Sega Had Issues Translating the Sonic Formula in the 3rd Dimension Unlike Nintendo EAD, and Shigeru Mayamoto,…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Skies of Arcadia

Posted on April 8, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

The Dreamcast was a weird little system, not because there was anything wrong with it, but because it launched in the U.S. (9/9/1999) in the midst of late gen N64 software (which looked pretty good), and the beginnings of a massive PlayStation 2 hype campaign.  The Dreamcast needed to be massive sales success in order to…

Peter Moore Left Sega After a Heated Exchange With Sonic’s Creator

Posted on September 4, 2020January 9, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

British-American Executive Peter Moore has a long storied history in the video games industry. His time at Sega, as president of Sega of America, and at Microsoft, as Corporate Vice-President of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business division, make him an invaluable source of history, and information on the industry. What has always been more fascinating to me,…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Resident Evil: Code Veronica (DC)

Posted on June 18, 2020January 8, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

A failed attempt of developing a Resident Evil 2 port for the Sega Saturn ended up in the development of Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Code Veronica chronologically speaking was the true sequel to Resident Evil 2, even if Resident Evil 3: Nemesis ended up being the numbered successor to the PlayStation survival horror hit. While…

The Top Ten Greatest Consoles of All-Time

Posted on April 30, 2020November 15, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

Editor’s foreword: There are two separate rankings listed: The official ranking which is the ‘NER’ ranking, and the Personal Ranking. The entire list is mostly subjective, as quality of games and my experiences with said games are the biggest deciding factor in terms of ranking. However, the NER ranking takes many other things into consideration,…

Dreamcast Memories: Looking Back at Sega’s Last Console

Posted on September 9, 2019September 10, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

The Sega Dreamcast turns 20 today. Sega’s last console released on 9/9/99 with a multi-million dollar marketing campaign was Sega’s last effort in the hardware business. By late 2000 rumors were that Sega would pullout of the Hardware business, and they did in 2001-02 effectively killing the Dreamcast. We won’t go in depth today into…
