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…
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! It’s that time of year again. Spooky season. Two years ago, I played and reviewed Corpse Party as my annual Halloween game. Ever since, I’ve had a serious urge to check out the rest of that series. So, I decided that this was going to be the year to sit down with the…
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.

During the course of this project, I have even managed to check off a number of the side-games as well. Technically, Final Fantasy…
The Final Fantasy playthrough initiative continues! Next up on my list is the original black sheep of the series, Final Fantasy X-2. That’s right, Final Fantasy 10, part 2. Confused? Well, so were lots of people. Until the release of this game, no entry in the Final Fantasy series ever had a direct sequel. Of…
I feel like it has taken forever to get this review posted, but wow this was one long game. I know I’m technically supposed to be focused mainly on PS1 games right now, but having finished Final Fantasy VII, I decided to a deviate a bit and go ahead and knock rest of the entries in…
Finally, my reviews have reached a personal milestone in the era of 16-bit gaming. I’m talking about the first Final Fantasy title for the Super Nintendo. Final Fantasy IV was originally released in the US under the name “Final Fantasy 2“. Since the second and third installments of the series were not originally brought stateside,…
