Fortunately, this article about Skies of Arcadia is not an April Fool’s satire, as the news broke out a few days before April 1st. Despite this, the rumors of a Skies of Arcadia Remaster do not come from an official source, but from an insider from a popular xbox podcast XboxEra. The insider in the…
My 6 year old son’s obsession with Sonic is what drove me to purchase, and play Sonic’s newest entry with him. Truth be told, while I have played nearly all of the entries within the Sonic series; I haven’t been excited about a Sonic game since 1998, and Sonic Adventure’s Dreamcast reveal. Sonic (Despite its…
It’s no controversy to suggest that for over a decade, Sonic the Hedgehog has experienced a major slump in the standard of games produced. Sure, Sonic Colors and Generations garnered praise from the majority and games such as Sonic Riders and Sonic Unleashed had its fair share of admirers, but not to the level of…
Square Enix, Sega and Nintendo, have all made head lines this week. One would think that we might have travelled back to the 1990s, but sadly, that is not case. Out of the three headlines that we will discuss here, only one is positive, and that’s Sonic Frontiers’ commercial success despite the game’s ho-hum critical…
According to Kotaku, last month, the co-creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, Yuji Naka, was arrested for purchasing shares in a development studio (Aiming) before its involvement in a Dragon Quest game was announced.

He is best remembered within the world of video games for his exploits as Sony Computer Entertainment of America’s Vice President during the PlayStation’s early days and as Sega’s President of the American branch during the late Saturn early Dreamcast era. He successfully laid the groundwork…
When we think about old classic turn-based Japanese Role-Playing games, Final Fantasy Tactics and the Shining Force series come to mind. A game that is not often mentioned, and it should be (mentioned) among those great titles, is Dragon Force. Dragon Force is a tactical Sega RPG. It was published by Sega in Japan, but…
There was a period in my life when my brothers and I competed heavily in fighting games. Street Fighter, Super Chinese Fighter, Tekken, and a few others kept us occupied for hours on end. When we eventually tired of battling each other, we often transitioned to playing co-op games. One game I remember playing significantly…
The Sega Saturn is, at least to me, the most legendary of the 32/64-bit era machines. The reason? I didn’t own one, and I only know a single person who did. Furthermore, this person lost the console two decades ago. As a JRPG fan, it was painful that the Sega Saturn was also the home…
