The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, was Nintendo GameCube’s Swan Song, and the Wii’s launch killer app for the Nintendo core gamer. While I ranked the game as the 4th best Legend of Zelda game in our “Top Ten All Time Zelda List“, Twilight Princess is my personal second favorite Zelda game, after Ocarina of…

Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt, and the Evils of Sinning by Omission
It has been nearly a week since Cyberpunk 2077’s much awaited, and now much maligned launch. The game has provided a very good, though bug filled role-playing gaming experience for high end PC players, and a poor, broken at times, bug filled experience for users at the other end of the spectrum (2013’s console owners). …

Pokémon Sword and Shield: An Incomplete Experience
Before I get into this, I definitely think it’s worth mentioning that Pokémon Sword and Shield is not my favorite installment in the Pokémon franchise. For me, that is still the second generation games, Gold and Silver. However, I have invested almost 600 hours into my copy of Pokémon Shield. I have always been a…
Throwback Bit Thursday: Tales of Symphonia
Tales of Symphonia, was a much a needed gift from the RPG gods on Nintendo’s Gamecube back in 2003. Nintendo’s console was somewhat devoid of traditional Japanese RPGs, as Sony’s PlayStation 2 had inherited the genre’s top titles from its forbearer. Namco’s fantastic fifth entry in the series would quench the JRPG thirst for Gamecube…

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla Review
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, is the 12th major chapter and the latest release in the long running Assassin’s Creed series. The game is a refinement of Ubisoft’s AnvilNext 2.0 engine, and a wonderful take on the ‘Viking’ time period. For Starters, I am not a huge fan of the Assassin’s Creed series as a whole. I…
