And so, a year and a half after our historically successful (yes, we went viral) April Fool’s Joke about The Legend of Dragoon’s remake; the hate mail keeps pouring in. Despite the fact that we hinted plenty of times during the article/interview spoof that it was an April Fool’s joke, and it was published on…

Horizon Forbidden West (PS5/PS4) Review
While we don’t have a review of Horizon Zero Dawn on the site, those of you who have read my work throughout the years, know that I loved the game’s visuals, storyline, and its main character. Given the above, I was thrilled when the Horizon Forbidden West was announced for PS4 and PS5. The first…
Sony Resurrects Days Gone as a Film After Canning its Game Sequel
Days Gone is a weird Sony IP. Long development struggles, a third party (Unreal 4) Engine, average critical scores, and less than stellar early sales, all hindered the franchise’s prospects. Days Gone is, certainly, Sony’s most recent ugly duckling. Sony prides itself on PlayStation being the home to the best exclusive games (85+ Metacritic ratings),…
A Mid 2022 PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X Comparison
So, I finally found a PlayStation 5 at Walmart this week. It wasn’t on shelves, for some reason Walmart refuses to stock up the PlayStation shelves (more on that below), but alas, I finally have it. It took me 1 year and 8 months after the console’s launch to find it on stores. It took…
Bernie Stolar: The Legend, The No RPG Policy, And His Dreamcast Love
Bernie Stolar passed away this week (at age 75). 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…
Games That Will Cost You a Kidney: Revelations: Persona
The original PlayStation was the home to many great Japanese Role-Playing games. Some of these games (Wild Arms, Suikoden) were modestly successful on their PS debuts and spawned franchises before dying off in the mid 2000s. Today’s subject in the weekly “Games that will cost you a kidney” series is a game that didn’t have…
TGIF: Which was the Largest “Next Gen” Console Leap?
I guess, if I asked someone the question of “what have been your favorite home console ‘next gen’ moments in any console generation?” The answer would be largely dependent on the age of the person being asked the question. To me, these special moments took place during the 32/64-bit era. The transition from 2-D to…
Games That Will Cost You a Kidney: Alundra
Editor’s Note: We have read your comments from our previous “Games That Will Cost You a Kidney” features, and most have been positive, and thoughtful. However, some of our readers have complained that a few of these games “do not cost a literal kidney” because they could be found for much less than $600 in…
TGIF: Looking Back at Horizon Zero Dawn
I never wrote an official review for Horizon Zero Dawn. So, this piece will stand as my “official” take on what I consider to be my 2nd (behind The Last of Us) favorite newest franchise of the last 10 years. To be fair, in terms of a single story driven playthrough, I might have enjoyed Horizon…
The Best Games of 2001 According to GameRankings
By 2001, The PlayStation 2 had begun to receive its sophomore software and its catalogue began to fill up with great games. These games included Final Fantasy X and the cultural phenomenon Grand Theft Auto III. This was also the year where the Dreamcast was, for all intents and purposes, declared ‘dead’. Microsoft and Nintendo…
