Can you believe that my last review of a Tekken game was all the way back in 2021? It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago, but it was. In that review, I shared my thoughts on the fourth entry in the Tekken fighter series. So, as you might expect, today I’m going to…
First and foremost, I apologize for the length of time it took me to write this review. Those of you who follow me closely certainly noticed that this title hung around on my “Now Playing” banner for quite awhile. Aside from being a massive game, Dragon Quest VIII also captured my attention and sucked me…
One of the drawbacks of doing game reviews the way I do is that I’m always behind the curve. For my reviews, I like to play games by chronological release date. Yes, I make exceptions from time to time. But the reason I do this is so that I can see how the industry has…
Happy Halloween! In keeping with my tradition of playing a horror game during the month of October, I come to you today with a real doozy of a game. Today, I’m going to talk about Silent Hill 4: The Room. If you’re a long time reader of this blog, then you’ll know that I’ve been…
I’m winding up my 2003 game reviews with a classic survival horror title, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. It’s been five years since I reviewed the first Fatal Frame.

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…
Recent years have seen the release of a number of classic Tomb Raider remasters. 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…
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…
At last, the time has come to discuss the final game in the Legacy of Kain series: Legacy of Kain – Defiance. I say this is the final entry in the series because it has been more than twenty years since this game was released and there has been no talk about further sequels. Which,…
