FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE (Nintendo Switch 2) Review
Nintendo’s hardware has never been known for graphically intensive nor detailed games. As Sony and Microsoft waged their neverending war over high-fidelity, cross-platform AAA franchises of varying degrees of fun, Nintendo has consistently floated by with solidly innovative, very fun, and endlessly charming first-party titles that could only be played on a Nintendo console. In recent years, AAA po...[Read More]
Final Fantasy XVI Review (Xbox Series X)
Okay, Interwebs, we’re about to have an uncomfortable conversation about how you all think when it comes to console releases. Consoles will never be better than PCs. Never. Ever. People will not look at a console and say, “Wow, I wish a PC did that.” That will never happen, so you have to accept it, stop comparing it, and move on. Standards are not as high and pure as PC releases. The quicker we a...[Read More]
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Review (Xbox Series X)
Lord. Is it review night for remasters and remakes? Feels like it. And, hey, I’m okay with it, especially if a game turns out as well as it did with Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster from publisher Square Enix. Certainly, one of my most pleasant surprises in 2024. What’s interesting about my time with Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is that I didn’t know how much I missed traditional turn-based role-playi...[Read More]
Final Fantasy XVI Review (PC)
Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in. Let me tell you a tale, good readers.

Final Fantasy XVI (PS5) Review
As I’ve entered my thirties, I’ve found it to be incredibly difficult to be excited for a new game — truly excited. Think midnight release of Skyrim type of excited. That kind of excitement can only be described to non-gamers as opening a much-desired gift on Christmas morning (or another holiday) as a pre-teenager. This level of excitement has become a fleeting memory as I’...[Read More]

Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line Review
It has been a long time since I’ve been enthralled with a rhythm game. My experience with this genre has mainly consisted of finger tap games for the iPhone, DJ Hero from Activision, and the occasional Guitar Hero when I’m feeling lucky. All of them were challenging, sometimes impossible, but all of them have gone the way of the Dodo bird, which is sad. Of course, a game like Theatrhythm: Final Ba...[Read More]
