Posted on September 13, 2023September 13, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

According to the Video Game Chronicle, Square Enix’s stock has dropped 30% from its peak value this year. The slump took place in the months following Final Fantasy XVI’s release, and it closed at its lowest value (since May 2022) on Wednesday. Square Enix’s downfall since its the release of its biggest AAA title of…

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…

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,…

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…

Sega Was Confident it Would Beat Sony (in 1996) According to Leak

Posted on July 5, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

And so, the era of leaked documents continues, but this time we are going back on a Nostalgic trip to 1996. During this time period, Nintendo was king, and about to unleash the most powerful video gaming system (PC or otherwise) known to man in the Nintendo 64. Sega had a leg up on Sony…

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth Further Embraces its Sequel Role in New Trailer

Posted on June 13, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

I had to two main gripes with Final Fantasy VII: Remake. The first one was the it wasn’t a remake of the original, but a sequel, marketed as a ‘remake’ of the legendary title. The second, that Nomura’s nonsensical approach to story telling had turned Final Fantasy VII’s original Sci-Fi/Fantasy tour de force into a…

Final Fantasy XVI: Story is Heavily Inspired by Game of Thrones, and its Combat by Devil May Cry

Posted on May 24, 2023May 24, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Final Fantasy XVI (its first four hours) have been sent to big website writers, and the preview notes are in. As we have discussed before Final Fantasy XVI will feature a much darker, more mature story, coupled with fast paced action combat.  The previews have been largely positive, and most writers have loved the new…

Spencer: Losing the Xbox One Gen (To Sony) Was the Worst Generation to Lose

Posted on May 6, 2023May 6, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Xbox’s history in gaming now spans over two decades. Hard to believe that PlayStation, as a brand, is only about 5 years older. Still, the Xbox didn’t perform badly on its freshman debut, as the original Xbox (24 million units sold) managed to outsell Nintendo’s GameCube (21.7 Million units sold), and had a bunch of…

Legend of Dragoon Sells 2 Million Units as a PS Classic, and Sony Plans a Revival

Posted on April 1, 2023April 1, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

After decades of lurking in the darkness, The Legend of Dragoon grabbed some headlines this year thanks to shady emulation, and fanfare from its sect of fans. While I have previously referred to LoD fans, as the “Legend of Dragoon Cult”, I guess I will have to start calling the group something else now, as…
