Final Fantasy is a long-time running series populated by good to great games. But there are a few exceptions to that rule. I have made an effort to list the five worst main Final Fantasy games of all time on this list. This is not a list based on Metacritic or GameRankings. It is a list…
While the Xbox 360 arrived in 2005, its impressive next generation software did not hit stores until 2006. The year also saw the launch of the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii, meaning a ‘new’ console generation had just begun.  As usual, Sony’s system had an awful launch lineup, and thus, none of its games…
The PlayStation brand is, or at least used to be, synonymous with ‘Japanese Role-Playing Games’. After all, it was the original PlayStation (along with Final Fantasy VII) console that boomed JRPGs into their golden age on the west. While the PlayStation 2’s historic success (it remains the best selling home console of all time with…

Microsoft promised Game Pass users that there would be ten Final Fantasy games coming to the Xbox Game Pass in 2020. Obviously, it’s 2021 now. So…

This top ten will do away with the…
August 12, 2005 The worst thing that could have happened to the RPG genre was the Square-Enix merger. This merger united the two RPG giants into a single entity that threatens to monopolize the genre, as only a few giant publishers like Namco can now stand on it’s way. It was not only the worst…
October, 18, 2005 First of all I am sad to say that the new Zelda currently titled Twilight Princess has been postponed until next year spring at the least. This is no doubt a hard blow to the Nintendo faithful, and RPG fans everywhere. The thing that worries me is that the game gets canned…
THE SERIES TURNING POINT After ten entries in the longest, and greatest traditional RPG series ever (FFXI doesn’t count) I approached FFXII, the eleventh game in this series, with doubt, and even dread. No longer was the series helmed by the wise Hironobu Sakaguchi, and almost no one (Ito being an exception) who had worked…
