However, the NER ranking takes many other things into consideration,…

Bastion (NS) Review
I had always been reluctant to buying independent games. Even with most of them being at affordable prices on the various digital stores. It was difficult for me to choose an ‘indie’ game over an older triple A game on sale for a similar price. My perception changed a bit with the advent of the…
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch (NS) Review
Ni No Kuni: The Wrath of the White Witch (released in 2011 in Japan, and in January 2013 stateside), was a PS3 JRPG made by Level 5. Level 5 at the time was known for the Dark Cloud series, Rogue Galaxy and Dragon Quest VIII. As far as JRPGs go they are one of the…
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask (3DS) Review
“Time is a Valuable Thing…” In the words of the legendary band, Linkin Park, time is truly a valuable thing. Perhaps, truly the most valuable gift of all. Time is always cruel, it never stops “ticking life away” (another LP reference), which makes both N64 Zelda entries special, and dark titles in comparison (Twilight Princess…

In an interesting development, Nintendo has filed patents for Hinged detachable Joy Cons (see illustrations) for it’s Nintendo Switch hybrid console.

The Legend of Zelda canned, On FFXII, and on the Revolution’s Controller Article
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 Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS) Review
The 3DS is one powerful handheld. It is not quite Vita powerful, and yet, its power lies somewhere between the Wii and the Xbox 360/PS3’s capabilities. Star Fox 64 3D has bump mapping in some levels, and the remake of the great and legendary, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is further proof…
