One would think that the best games would also be the most well-known, which is often the case, but there are times that I decide to give some obscure game a chance and am baffled at how such an amazing game could have been forgotten so. I have several such games that are quite dear…

Why I’m Falling Out Of Love With Open World Games
Image By Flickr User: Ferlino Design (cc) 13 years ago a game by the name of GTA 3 launched and changed the gaming world significantly. Although it wasn’t technically the first 3D open-world game to be produced, it can be argued that it was one of the most influential and that it had a huge…
Gaming Humiliation: The Massage Mini Game in “FFX-2”
My next post on humiliating and/or embarrassing things in video games was a no-brainer. If you’ve ever had the misfortune of playing “Final Fantasy X-2”, you’ll notice right away that it’s, to put it lightly, silly. I’m not going to say too much against it, as I know it does have its fans, but I’m…
Gaming Humiliation: Constructor X in “Bomberman Generation”
Look at me, the master of creating bizarre series, has done it again. I have started another series, with this one’s purpose being to share with you all sections of games that range from really quite bad to very rather embarrassing. And back again. And a fitting beginning is one boss I have found particularly…
The Best (and Worst) of The Wolf Among Us
Image by Flickr User: BagoGames (CC) The first season of The Wolf Among Us felt absolutely brilliant! The story was engaging, the characters were interesting, and the gameplay kept me on my toes. I could not wait to talk about this game again once I had finished the final episode of the first season “Cry Wolf”. However,…
A Plea for FF8 Assistance
With Cary and Jacob already on their quests to complete “Metroid Prime” and “Final Fantasy VII”, respectively, it got me thinking of a quest of my own that I would like to accomplish one day. My own game to complete is “Final Fantasy VIII”. I have reached the final boss, but I just can’t beat…
Discussion Mondays: Early Access Games at Retail
Originally posted on Gamer Crash:
With as much controversy as “Early Access” type games are causing these days, one thing I’ve never thought to consider is how the discussion would change or intensify if these titles were sold at retail. Currently, they’re available digitally on Steam but if they were sold in stores, how would…
Resonance: Metroid Prime Trilogy Intro Music
Image By Flicker User: Jorgen Haland It’s been awhile since our last Resonance entry, so this time we’re doing not one, but three most excellent pieces of gaming music! Specifically the introductory themes from Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption!
Relationships in Games: The Romance(s)
The forming (and breaking) of intimate relationships between characters has become something of a hallmark in modern games. We muddled about by ourselves in games for years prior, taking on the toughest of enemies either alone or with a ragtag group of new-found “friends” with vacant backstories. Enter in the likes of story-heavy games, such…
Finishing Final Fantasy VII
Image by Flickr User: Borgs Dalisay (CC) Final Fantasy VII is one of my absolute favorite games from the good ol’ PSOne, probably number…4 after Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage, Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot 2: Wrath of Cortex, and Crash Bandicoot: Warped. (What can I say? I like my classic platformers!) I love…
