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...
Happy Halloween friends! As many of my long-time readers know, I try to review a scary game in time for Halloween. Typically, I pick a spooky game from whatever backlog era I’m currently working on. For example, in recent years I reviewed Resident Evil 0, Fatal Frame, and Luigi’s Mansion – all games from the GameCube/PS2/Xbox generation. This year, I...
I’m going to start the month off with a review for a game that was added to my backlog after being requested from multiple readers. The game in question is Devil May Cry. This is one that I’ve never played before and one that was not originally on my list. As I said above, about a year ago I asked...
It feels like the release of Endwalker was just yesterday. But in reality, it’s been several months since FFXIV’s latest expansion. And as usual SE has been busy working on new content for fans to enjoy. Now, if you’ve been paying attention to everything going on in the world of Final Fantasy XIV, you might be wondering what new...
It’s here! The Final Fantasy XIV expansion that brings an end to the game’s ten-plus year-long storyline – Endwalker. This expansion brings FFXIV up to version 6.0, and as mentioned earlier, finally brings an end the Hydaelyn/Zodiark story-arc. This add-on sees the level cap raised to 90 and includes two new playable jobs; Sage and Reaper. As usual with any...
Halloween is almost here! You know what that means, it’s time to review a horror game! Deciding which game to play through this time was no easy task. Looking through my backlog, there were a number of great spooky titles released for the PS2/GameCube/Xbox platforms. But in the end, I decided to go down some familiar territory and stick with...
Sometimes it’s always nice to revisit the classics. The last time I talked about the original Quake was back in 2013. Quake is one of those games that I keep coming back to over the years. Yes, it shows its age when put up against many modern titles. Yet, it still manages to maintain a persistent charm. Recently, Bethesda Softworks...
It’s hard to think that this time last year I had all but quit playing Final Fantasy XIV. A lot has changed since then, and I’m not just talking about the game itself. For starters, my wife has recently started playing again after an almost eight year hiatus. In fact, so has my son! But that’s not all… After over...
Wow! It’s been over a month since my last game review and what a month it’s been! Aside from the normal craziness that comes with the Christmas season, here in the US we’ve also been dealing with the aftermath of the presidential election as well as a rise in pandemic cases. As a result, with the exception of going to...
Wow. It’s been a while since I’ve talked in detail about Final Fantasy XIV. I suppose that’s because I took a year off from the game! I know, that’s pretty hard to believe. Ever since the original launch of FFXIV 1.0, I’ve been an avid player. But after nine years of consistent playing, both the toxic community and the repetition...
