Dragon Quest Builders 2 (PC)
For the record, I still hate Minecraft. It’s tough to love that game, but I do understand it from afar. That’s all I can give to it at the moment. Maybe when the 4K version of it finally comes out I will rethink this opinion, but until then I will stick to LEGOs for building. Okay. Not going back to that game right now. Let’s move on. Anyway, Square Enix sent us a code for Dragon Quest Builders 2 ...[Read More]
Star Ocean First Departure R
Oh, my. Some old school turn-based/action RPG-ing hits the PlayStation 4 with Star Ocean First Departure R, which launched to the public this past week. Having played some more recent versions of Star Ocean, and absolutely feeling like it was a weird Final Fantasy knock-off, I appreciated seeing the origin of the series in action in an HD remake fashion. At least on the inside (yeah, that sounded ...[Read More]

Final Fantasy VII Remake gets more details
I cannot wait for this and I cannot believe they have a classic mode. It’s a brilliant move. Anyway, enjoy the details. a brand new blog post about FINAL FANTASY VII Remake that further details some of Producer Yoshinori Kitase’s comments during Tokyo Games Show 2019 about the entirely new “Classic Mode” that will be implemented into the highly anticipated game. The blog post may be found he...[Read More]
Final Fantasy VIII Remastered
A lot of people liked Final Fantasy VII. A lot of those people were confused and angry two years later when Final Fantasy VIII erased everything they liked about Final Fantasy VII. The role-playing game that finally captured the mainstream—and signaled Sony’s PlayStation was indeed legitimate hardware—created expectations of more Final Fantasy VII, or at least something like any previous Fin...[Read More]
Oninaki
Oninaki is equipped with all of the necessary materials to construct a genuine Japanese role-playing game. It has a world consumed by fantastic corruption and engulfed in despairing melancholy. It features combat mechanics with a creative hook and a considerable allowance of player agency. The visual package has a consistent aesthetic that works its chibi euphoria into surreal, dreamlike framework...[Read More]
Collection of Mana
Games in the Mana series center around the concept of balance. Usually, an impending environmental cataclysm squares off against the elemental forces that represent the universe-balancing force of Mana. Weave this conflict around a few intertwined destinies of a ragtag sort, throw a couple of characters down a waterfall, and you basically have a Mana game. Collection of Mana bundles the first thre...[Read More]
Dragon Quest Builders 2
I hate Minecraft. I hate it. I hate the fact that it essentially took the idea of LEGOs, sprinkled in a dash of Little Big Planet, and then called itself the best idea since sliced bread. That bothers me to my very core. I get that it has turned creativity ‘on’ within a generation (or two), who has freshly kept the game alive, much like the PC industry has kept alive Skyrim, but as a traditional g...[Read More]
ThreE3
In honor of E3 coming up in the next couple of days, I wanted to get together a list of some predictions that our team has for the gaming Super Bowl. E3 is the best time of the year for gamers. The biggest companies in the industry come together and tell us the future. It gets us fired up to be a part of this community. This year is a little different from Sony’s absence, but nonetheless, yo...[Read More]
Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster (Xbox One)
Final Fantasy X served as the model for its generation of Japanese role-playing games. Final Fantasy X-2 replaced weight with whimsy and functioned as a celebration of its legacy. Both are integral parts of a disparate narrative and emblematic saviors of Square’s, and then Square-Enix’s, post-millennium operation. How these games played is as important as what they meant; the strength of the...[Read More]
