Let’s cut right to the chase, the book I’m going to talk about today focuses on a subject that’s become rather taboo in our hobby; devils and demons. The book in question is The Book of Fiends. For me, one of the most fascinating concepts in all of Dungeons & Dragons is the mythical war between the powers of good...

It doesn’t seem like that long ago, but it’s actually been a little over three years since I reviewed the last game in the Samurai Shodown series. In the genre of arcade fighting games, Samurai Shodown has always been one of the underdogs here in the west. At first glance, it may be difficult to determine why. After all, the...
At long last, the time has come for me to review one of the most beloved games of all time, Kingdom Hearts. This is a game that combines the worlds of Final Fantasy with the Disney cartoon universe. If that seems like a rather odd combination, that’s because it is. The two franchises have almost nothing at all to do...
One the latest trends WotC has been participating in lately is the publishing of adventure collections. This started a while back with Tales from the Yawning Portal and has continued most recently with Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel. With this in mind, it should be no surprise that the latest release for fifth edition D&D is another collection of adventure modules....
It took a little while, but I’ve finally finished the sixth entry in the Dragon Quest saga, the aptly named Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation. This is one of the games in the series that was not initially released in the west. Dragon Quest VI first hit the scene in Japan back in 1995 as a Super Famicom title....
When it comes to flavored coffees, I’m both a hard critic and a sucker. I can’t resist snapping up every new flavor that hits the store shelves, even though I automatically expect them to fall short of my expectations. Still, every now and then I’ll come across one that is particularly good. That was the case with my latest find,...
It is no secret that Kobold Press is one of my favorite third-party D&D supplement creators. They are well known for creating quality products (both physically and content-wise). Recent months has seen Kobold Press thrust into the spotlight amidst all of the controversy surrounding the D&D OGL. While rest of the gaming community was screaming and arguing, Kobold Press took...

I’ve mentioned this on my blog before, but when I was a young child, Star Wars (A New Hope) was one of the first movies that I ever remember watching. Needless to say, it had a massive impact on me as a child. But it wasn’t the only film that captured my imagination. If had to choose another movie from...
It has become somewhat of a tradition on this site for me to review a “girly game” for Valentine’s Day. When I use the term “girly” I don’t mean something cute and feminine like Hello Kitty or The Unicorn Princess. Instead games like Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball or HuniePop usually end up taking the spotlight. In the past I’ve...
One of the best things about starting this website and tackling my game backlog is being able to play some really amazing games that I missed out on the first time around. Yes, I know it’s considered blasphemy by many, but until I sat down to play it for this review, Chrono Trigger was one of those games. Why is...
