Yesterday, the Shadow of the Necropolis patch came to World of Warcraft. The long-awaited patch 1.13 includes the scourge invasion and the Naxxaramas raid tier. Classic Phase 6 is now officially in motion. Naxxaramas finally graces players’ screens in its original form for the first time since 2006. Coming as somewhat of a surprise, Blizzard…
Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light is releasing today for the Nintendo Switch. Originally released in 1990 exclusively in Japan for the Famicom system, this will be the first official Nintendo translation of the game released to western audiences. Its release further begs the question: why isn’t there a Virtual Console for…
Final Fantasy VII Remake graced retail shelves on April 10th, 2020. Being a Final Fantasy fan myself, I was looking forward to it. However, I had never played the original, until it came to the Nintendo Switch. I decided to do that before playing this remake, and I’m so glad I did. Playing the original…
Until the remake of Demon’s Souls comes out for PC, or if by some miracle Elden Ring drops next week, I’ll be stuck with the original Dark Souls trilogy. I’m not complaining, though. I recently got all the achievements for the whole trilogy. Here’s my take on why Dark Souls III is the best of…
Released in 1996 on the original PlayStation, Suikoden found commercial (on a small scale), and critical success nearly a year before Final Fantasy VII opened the mainstream market for games in the genre. For many PlayStation owners, Suikoden was their first RPG on the system. To others, their first good RPG on the systems as Beyond…
Animal Crossing: New Horizons couldn’t have asked for a better release date. Released as a Nintendo Switch exclusive on March 20, 2020, the game served as a pain reliever for the horror that is 2020. This open-ended life-simulator, which allows players to do everything from fishing to decorating their own virtual living space and island, sold…
SaGa Frontier, is a somewhat strange Japanese Role-Playing game that found critical success in Japan in 1997. The 32-bit era RPG is getting the ‘remaster’ treatment despite the fact that its critical reception stateside was mixed to say the least. The title was not a hit with American audiences, as its 71/100 Gamerankings’ meta score…
As we previously reported, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla’s release was plagued with bugs, and glitches on every platform. Many gamers were particularly bothered by the awful screen tearing on Xbox consoles. Worst of all, some bugs were even breaking the game on the PlayStation 4. Ubisoft released a massive patch on Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) that solved…
When I think about what defines an RPG, I’m reminded of my very first experience with the genre. I’ve got my Game Boy Color out and I’m enjoying Pokémon Red. That means that for me, an RPG was traditionally a turned-based game where you learned enemy weaknesses and exploited them. Naturally, there needs to be…
Players of Pokemon GO have a lot to look forward to next week. Starting December 1st, 2020, the game is rolling out a gigantic Pokemon GO update, aptly named GO Beyond. Originally announced on November 18th, there is still a ton for players to do to prepare for this patch. Here is a quick breakdown…
