The Best Games of 2010 According to GameRankings

Posted on July 6, 2022July 6, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Traditionally, when talking about great years for gaming, 1998 is often referred to as the greatest year for gaming ever. A close look at 2010 showcases a gaming list (at the top level) that is as good, or nearly as good, as the legendary 1998 top ten best games’ list.  2010 brought us games in…

As we approach the end of the 2000s decade, we begin to see some of the most refined games from the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 era. As always, we took off the list games with less than 20 reviews to their name, and games that had multiple versions on the list.   We have removed versions…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Resident Evil 5

Posted on March 10, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

To be honest, Resident Evil 5 had tough shoes to fill. Resident Evil 4 was seen as a watershed moment for the series, and its unprecedented critical and commercial success paved the way for the massive wave of hype surrounding the franchise’s 5th entry.   Resident Evil 4 shook the very foundations of the 3rd…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

Posted on March 3, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is my favorite Castlevania game of all time. Yes, I know, blasphemy! But keep in mind that I have always preferred 3-D over 2-D gaming, and that Castlevania 64, despite all its flaws, has been the Castlevania game that I have played the most.   Castlevania is a series that never quite got…

Throwback Bit Thursday: The Last of Us

Posted on January 27, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

The PlayStation 3 was an interesting machine, to say the least. It was a tech marvel when it first launched back in 2006 as it featured Blue-Ray playback right out of the box and a “cell” CPU that was, at least on paper, state of the art.   However, the system’s performance in actual game…

Posted on January 20, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

Before anyone complains about Dark Souls not being ‘Throwback” material, know that it has been more than 10 years since Dark Souls was first unleashed upon the gaming world, and that it was released two console generations ago on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.  What made me consider the game for today’s weekly section…

Throwback Bit Thursday: Final Fantasy XIII

Posted on July 22, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

For months, I have dreaded the arrival of this day. The day where I would have to write about Final Fantasy XIII on our weekly Throwback Bit Thursday series. My dread on writing about Final Fantasy XIII doesn’t stem from my fading memories of the game as only a little more than a decade has…
