Can you believe it has been over ten years since I reviewed the original Max Payne? It doesn’t seem like that long ago. But in truth, that review was made during the early days of this blog, before I had decided on a structure and schedule for my game reviews. Even though quite a bit…
I’ve been a gamer for four decades. During that time I’ve played video games of all types. This means that I’m certainly no stranger to games in the survival horror genre. But I don’t think I’ve ever played a game as unsettling and anxiety inducing as the game I’m going to talk about today. That…
It’s been a little while since I last reviewed a game in the Mana series. Up to this point, I’ve covered the original trilogy and the first title in the spin-off series (Legend of Mana). Today, I want to discuss a Mana game that’s largely been forgotten about, Sword of Mana. Sword of Mana is…
The epic journey that is my backlog has brought me a rather interesting title. Today, I’m going to be discussing Wario World. If this is a game that you’re not familiar with, I won’t hold it against you. Wario World, while popular during its initial release, has fallen into a bit of obscurity over the…
It’s been a while since I last stepped into the world of Pokemon. In fact, I think my last review was back in 2018, shortly after the Virtual Console release of Pokemon Silver/Gold.

First, an updated collection of the original three Tomb Raider titles (Tomb Raider I-III) was released for nearly every platform you can think of. Then, just last month, this was followed with a second collection of remasters (Tomb Raider IV-VI). The…
A little over a year ago, I posted a review for the legendary RPG, Golden Sun. Since that time, I’ve received a number of messages asking for me to talk about the sequel. Well, that time has finally arrived. Today, I’m going to be discussing Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Before I dive in to…
After spending a couple of months playing almost nothing but RPGs, it’s nice to have a change of pace. Today, I’m going to be talking about a completely different style of game, Devil May Cry 2. If you’ve been been reading this blog for a few years, you may remember that back in 2022, I…
The Old Game Hermit Valentine’s Day tradition continues! In case you are unfamiliar, every year on this day, I post a review for a sexy/cute/romantic game. This year, I decided to step away from the usual genre and try something a bit different. About a month ago, I was browsing PSN and I came across…
The time has come to discuss Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It is with great pleasure that I write this review. I say this because, it took me almost an entire year to complete this game. That might be the longest it has ever taken me to complete a single title. Yes, this is a BIG…
