Games That Will Cost You a Kidney: Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete

Posted on August 23, 2023August 24, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

So, it hasn’t been uncommon on this section of “expensive” retro games, to see Working Designs published titles making the rounds. These games were fairly pricey during their heyday (given their premium packaging), and today – in part due to said packaging – these games can run for a few hundred dollars. Lunar: Silver Star…

Posted on August 14, 2023August 23, 2023 by Usmania

On 12th May 2023, almost 4 years of painstaking waiting came to its anticipated conclusion. The release of the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was finally upon us. I made sure to wake up extra early that day, and before work, drove all the way to my nearest Game shop, waiting in line…

News Round-Up: Baldur’s Gate 3 Challenges Zelda, FFXVI Falls Short in Sales Expectations, and is Xbox Series S Holding Back the Series X?

Posted on August 11, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Regrettably, I might have underestimated Baldur’s Gate 3’s potential as a GotY contender when I proclaimed a few weeks ago that only Starfield remained – as a yet to be released title – posing a serious challenge to Nintendo’s Masterpiece (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom). Baldur’s Gate has arrived on PC, and…

Posted on July 31, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Producer Naoki Yoshida, has read your (or at least from some fans) responses regarding his latest game, Final Fantasy XVI. Needless to say, he is not pleased.

Final Fantasy XVI Review: The Most Entertaining Final Fantasy in Decades

Posted on July 21, 2023July 21, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Yoshida, and Creative Business Unit III, crafted an experience in Final Fantasy XVI, that in my opinion, delivers a storyline, and audio/visual presentation on par with some of Sakaguchi’s best work. Yes, in my opinion, Final Fantasy XVI is a worthy successor to Final Fantasy X (XI, and XIV were online entries, FFXII was great,…

Throwback Bit Thursday: 1998 For a JRPG Fan!

Posted on July 20, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

So, it is hard to believe, but it has been a quarter century since 1998. I have very fond memories, perhaps my fondest memories, as a gamer are from that year.  While most of my time was spent playing (oh blessed days!) WCW/NWO Revenge, Ocarina of Time, and Golden Eye.  I did play some JRPGs…

Final Fantasy XVI’s Initial Sales Disappoint Fans: Should Square Enix Panic?

Posted on July 12, 2023July 12, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

So, give it or take, Final Fantasy XVI has sold about 3 million copies, as we quickly approach its first month of sales. Square Enix hasn’t given further updates from that early number, which likely means that the majority of people who wanted Final Fantasy XVI, already bought it, and any other sales beyond that…
