For my latest playthrough/review, I decided to return to the Xbox shelf and pick up a title that I’ve been waiting to review for quite some time. That game is Dead or Alive Ultimate. This title is actually a remastered collection of the first two games in the Dead or Alive series. Dead or Alive is a franchise I’ve never...
Final Fantasy Adventure. Man, what a blast from the past. All it takes is hearing the opening notes on the title screen of this game and I’m transported back to a much simpler time in my life. I can remember laying on the living room rug with my Game Boy and being completely captivated. I didn’t have a care in...
By now, everyone has heard of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. I posted a review for the modern day Castlevania clone a little over a year ago. And despite a somewhat rough launch, the game was largely successful. Like many, I fully expected that sooner of later we’d receive news of a Bloodstained sequel. Much to my surprise, the developers...
I have waited a long time to review this game. As many of my readers know, I’ve been a gamer for most of my life. When I was a young boy, I cut my teeth on a variety of arcade classics. But it was the Nintendo Entertainment System that really ignited my obsession with gaming. I played nearly every NES...
Years ago when I reviewed a number of PC games from the late 90’s and early 2000’s, there was one game on the list that I desperately wanted to talk about, Daikatana. There was just one problem, when I sat down to play the game, I ran into all sorts of incompatibilities and technical issues. When playing older games, these...
Final Fantasy VII Remake. After years of waiting, it is finally here! These days, many classic games are seeing remastered versions and re-releases. Naturally, most of these are welcomed by fans. But often enough, these remasters seem to come out of left-field. This game, however, is a title that fans have begged and pleaded for. For years, industry experts said...
When it comes to RPG games, there’s typically two different categories that tend to come to mind. Western-style RPGs and Japanese-style RPGs. Generally speaking, western RPGs are typically stat-heavy games that draw their inspiration from tabletop classics like Dungeons & Dragons. Good examples of western RPGs are games like Ultima and Wizardry. Recently, I posted reviews for The Bard’s Tale...
This is a review I’ve been wanting to write for quite some time. Years ago, when I played through my initial round of late-90’s PC games, I reviewed a number of classic FPS titles. One of the games I was really excited to talk about, but couldn’t manage to review at the time, was SiN. SiN is a game that...
It’s only been a week since I posted my review for the second chapter in the Bard’s Tale Trilogy. It seems that the Covid 19 quarantine has afforded me with a little more free time than usual. So I decided to take full advantage of the situation and I used the time to complete the third entry of the series,...
So far in this generational backlog I’ve reviewed titles from the GameCube, Xbox, and Playstation 2. All of these are great home gaming systems. But I would be amiss if I neglected to give some attention to the handheld scene. Of course, the big handheld system at the turn of the century was the Game Boy Advance. It was small...
