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….

Forspoken Might Flop While Sonic Frontiers Sells 2.9 Million Units, and The New Zelda Will Be $70

Posted on February 11, 2023February 11, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Square Enix, Sega and Nintendo, have all made head lines this week. One would think that we might have travelled back to the 1990s, but sadly, that is not case.  Out of the three headlines that we will discuss here, only one is positive, and that’s Sonic Frontiers’ commercial success despite the game’s ho-hum critical…

2023 is Here and The Never Ending Realm Turns 20 Years Old

Posted on January 1, 2023February 11, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Twenty years ago, I was 17 years old, and had an extreme passion with playing JRPGs and reviewing them in written form. In reality, some of my oldest reviews were written way before 2003, and on an actual ‘word processor’ typewriter. Reviews for games like Suikoden, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Final…

TGIF: Which was the Largest “Next Gen” Console Leap?

Posted on June 3, 2022June 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

I guess, if I asked someone the question of “what have been your favorite home console ‘next gen’ moments in any console generation?” The answer would be largely dependent on the age of the person being asked the question. To me, these special moments took place during the 32/64-bit era. The transition from 2-D to…

The Best Games of 2001 According to GameRankings

Posted on April 28, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

By 2001, The PlayStation 2 had begun to receive its sophomore software and its catalogue began to fill up with great games. These games included Final Fantasy X and the cultural phenomenon Grand Theft Auto III.   This was also the year where the Dreamcast was, for all intents and purposes, declared ‘dead’. Microsoft and Nintendo…

Throwback Bit Thursday: A Brief 1997 Nintendo 64 Memoir

Posted on April 22, 2022April 22, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Ah! 1997! To be 13 years old again! To have a crush on Ginger Spice again! So many memories, but perhaps none dearer than my time as a new Nintendo 64 owner and the hours I spent playing Turok, Golden Eye, and Star Fox 64.  Truth be told, I probably played more of Super Mario…

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild 2 Delayed Until 2023 

Posted on April 8, 2022April 8, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Given the massive commercial (over 26 million copies sold) and critical success of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nintendo’s 35-year-old franchise has never been more popular than it is today. Thus, the news of a delay for its sequel has caused some disappointment amongst fans.  Nintendo Shares Drop 6% After News  The…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Super Mario Odyssey a Homage to the Mario Saga 

Posted on March 17, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

This week, I reached the Super Mario Odyssey credits for the second time since 2018. The first time around, I mainly rushed through the game trying to get just enough moons to reach the finish line. It was a fun experience, and I greatly enjoyed Nintendo’s technical mastery of the Switch hardware at the time….

Shigeru Miyamoto on What Makes Ocarina of Time a Special Game

Posted on March 14, 2022March 14, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

I can never write enough about the Legend of Zelda: of Ocarina of Time, as it is my favorite game of all time. Thus, on my weekly internet search about the game and its development, I ran into a rather interesting Shigeru Miyamoto “Iwata Asks” interview.  The interview is part of a long string of…
