The Top 5 RPGs I Must Replay Now and Then

Posted on February 21, 2023February 21, 2023 by Samuel Rivera

Last week, I wrote a column about the JRPGs that I would like to replay some day, but most likely would never get around to replaying for a variety of reasons. Today, I will list a completely opposite collection of games. These are RPGs (not all are JRPGs) that I must replay every 1-2 years….

Throwback Bit Thursday: Remembering a Merry 1998 Christmas 

Posted on December 22, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

It is known (if you are a long time reader of the site), that 1998 is, in my honest opinion, is the greatest year in gaming, bar none. Most us will look back at that time when we were 10-14 years old, as the best time for video games, regardless of the year. That said, 1998…

The Best Games of 1998 According to GameRankings

Posted on April 6, 2022April 16, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

By my reckoning, 1998 is the greatest year in gaming history. No other year had or has had as many great games released within it. In 1998, the Nintendo 64 continued its trend of having a historically great game and taking the best game of the year awards (for the 3rd year in a row)….

Posted on March 14, 2022March 14, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

I can never write enough about the Legend of Zelda: of Ocarina of Time, as it is my favorite game of all time. Thus, on my weekly internet search about the game and its development, I ran into a rather interesting Shigeru Miyamoto “Iwata Asks” interview.  The interview is part of a long string of…

Posted on January 25, 2022January 26, 2022 by Samuel Rivera

What ten games would you bring if you were stranded on a deserted island? has crossed my mind before and is an often used, made up scenario to discuss “the best”. In the unlikely event I ended up stranded on a deserted island, I would need an irrational Tetsuya Nomura/Kazushigue Nojima plot device that would…

Posted on December 2, 2021 by Samuel Rivera

It is hard to believe, at times, but it has been 10 years since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D graced Nintendo 3DS systems everywhere.  Ocarina of Time’s portable remake was the sole reason for my 3DS purchase, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results.
