It’s been three years since Koji Igarashi (or IGA, as he tends to be called) unveiled his plans for “Sword or Whip?” – the spiritual successor for the Castlevania franchise. Since that time, the game has been given a proper name; Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. The game itself is still in development with a release date scheduled for later this...
It is so easy to get hung up on RPGs and other complex games that it’s possible to forget about some of the more simpler titles out there. I recently wound up my review for Xenogears, a game that took me several months to complete. By the time I was finished, I knew I wanted my next playthrough to be...
It’s been a long time coming, but my review of Majora’s Mask is finally here! I last reviewed a Zelda game back in February of this year, when I played through Ocarina of Time.

Well, let’s take a moment to delve into that...

The big news here is not a simple redesign, but what appears to actually be a whole new model. Let’s start off easy, the new model features better battery life, a faster processor and an enhanced screen. The...
Wow. This review has been a long time coming. I purchased this game when it was released in February and I’ve been slowly grinding away at it ever since. Now, after almost 70 hours of game time I have finally finished this beast. Here are my thoughts. First, let’s talk about what Bravely Default is; here we have a classic JRPG...
I’m taking a quick break from the retro reviews to provide my impressions of the latest installment to the Castlevania series.
