When it comes to gaming, it’s not that unusual to hear claims about a particular title being one of the “greatest games of all time” or how it “changed gaming forever”. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve heard things like this about a specific game, only to end up disappointed when I finally get my hands on it....
It’s here! The Final Fantasy XIV expansion that brings an end to the game’s ten-plus year-long storyline – Endwalker. This expansion brings FFXIV up to version 6.0, and as mentioned earlier, finally brings an end the Hydaelyn/Zodiark story-arc. This add-on sees the level cap raised to 90 and includes two new playable jobs; Sage and Reaper. As usual with any...
My backlog of RPGs has finally brought me to the fourth entry in the Dragon Quest saga, Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen. I started playing this game back in early September and due to my busy schedule, it took me until mid-November to finish it. I think I clocked in right at about fifty hours of playtime with...
Today, I’m going to share my thoughts on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. But, let me start this review with a statement. No. The recent release of the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: The Definitive Edition was not a factor in how long it took me to finish my playthrough for this game. In fact, by the time GTA Trilogy hit...
Halloween is almost here! You know what that means, it’s time to review a horror game! Deciding which game to play through this time was no easy task. Looking through my backlog, there were a number of great spooky titles released for the PS2/GameCube/Xbox platforms. But in the end, I decided to go down some familiar territory and stick with...
This is a post I’ve been wanting to make for a little while. But, I decided to spend quite a bit of time with the game before sharing my thoughts. I’ll start by saying that Diablo is one of my favorite gaming franchises. So when I learned that a remaster of the classic Diablo II was being developed – I...
Fighting games. A genre that just never goes out of style. Over the years I’ve covered a number of classic brawler titles. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Dead or Alive, and of course, Tekken. It’s been well over a year since I posted my review for Tekken 3 (a game that actually earned a perfect score from me). Even though I...
It’s time to get serious! My recent review of Battlefield 1942 really had me itching for some more first-person action. So after combing through my backlog I came across the perfect title; Serious Sam – The First Encounter. This is a game that’s been sitting in my Steam library since 2013. I think it’s beyond time for me to blow...
I started my RPG catch-up project a little over a year ago. In that time, I’ve covered a number of retro RPG titles. One of the highlights of this project so far were my reviews of the Bard’s Tale Trilogy. As someone who grew up playing the Wizardry franchise, Bard’s Tale was an absolute blast from the past. It only...
This is a review that I’ve been wanting to write for a long time. I started this website nine years ago and over the course of that time I’ve discussed a lot of games. It’s no secret that RPGs are one of my biggest gaming passions. This may surprise many of you, but I love first person shooters just as...
