Playing Maneater and its cheap Expansion to the very end within a week is confirmation of the growing chasm between myself and modern JRPGs. I shouldn’t have enjoyed Maneater as much as I did, but…
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…
My 6 year old son’s obsession with Sonic is what drove me to purchase, and play Sonic’s newest entry with him.

Thankfully, it seems that we won’t have to wait much longer in order to get a feel for how the newest entry will play, and fit,…
Legrand Legacy: Tale of the Fatebounds is an interesting, and relatively cheap indie RPG that can be purchased on the Nintendo e-shop (and Xbox Live, and PS Store). What makes Legrand Legacy unique is that it is essentially a Japanese Role-Playing Game developed by a team of 27 western developers (Semisoft). During its two-year development…

Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft’s game subscription service, already features a wide array of Japanese RPG games for its subscribers to enjoy.

A spouse (343 Industries) tries incredibly hard to please their partner (gamers and critics) by preparing their favorite dish (Halo), a dish that the spouse’s parent (Bungie) has served them for as long as they could recall in perfect tasting fashion. The spouse, lovingly tries as hard as they can, following the proper recipe, and…
