Video game reviews, fan fiction, gaming news, and more! Since 2003. We especially love JRPGs, RPGs and the best of the rest. Never Ending Realm: Where your favorite games live forever!
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…
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…
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…
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…
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.

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…
My son turned five years of age at end of January. Being that he seems to love old Sega Genesis Sonic games and Minecraft, I felt that it was the proper time to finally let him have a video gaming system of its own. I was a five-year-old myself when my mother first got…
Last week, we listed the best games of the year 1990 according to GameRankings.com. That year was dominated by Sega Genesis arcade conversions. Today, we list 1991’s greatest games according to their critical average on the now defunct site. This week the SNES takes over the listing, and that should not come as a…
While the Nintendo 64 is my favorite console of all time, I would be doing myself and our readers a disservice if I told them that Paper Mario was my favorite N64 game. Heck, it wasn’t even my favorite RPG on the system. While critics raved about Paper Mario 22 years ago, I never found…
This week, Final Fantasy VII turned 25 years old (Japanese release), and it seems like the perfect moment to think back and reflect on how big a game it was for both the Japanese Role-Playing genre and the PlayStation’s emergence as the dominant home console player in the mid to late 1990s.
