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. Â 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.  Squaresoft Never…
Nintendo Switch Online subscription members will have something special to look forward to in February. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask finally arrives to the service, though we can’t vouch for the eventual quality of the emulation.  Does Majora’s Mask Make the Service Expansion Pack a Worthy Investment at Last? If you have never…

A Japanese TV Channel took up the task of polling 50,000 Japanese gamers. The poll asked these gamers to name their favorite game of all time. Given the large sample size of polled gamers, the choices listed here represent the current state of Japanese gaming, as far as Japan’s favorite games go. So let’s do…
20 years ago, many home console gamers had a very merry Christmas. Microsoft’s Xbox and Nintendo’s GameCube were new consoles on the market, and the PlayStation 2 was beginning to hit its historic stride with great games like Final Fantasy X and Metal Gear Solid 2 arriving on the system. If we dig deeper, we…
Nintendo’s 64-bit console was a great system, despite its failure to maintain Nintendo’s dominance of the home console market. The system, hampered by its chosen format for media (cartridges as opposed to CDs), featured some of, if not, the most revolutionary games of all time. The N64 was home to the greatest first person shooters…
When it comes to big releases like The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo usually keeps a very low profile, and details of the games (leaked to the press) are kept at a bare minimum until the titles are closer to their release date. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 has followed Nintendo’s modus…
