A short while ago, I was asked if I’d ever consider doing classic game reviews, like Super Nintendo, N64, Gamecube and, heck anything older than PS4/Xbox One. Honestly, I probably wouldn’t have if I hadn’t been asked since I consider stuff from all those eras pretty well-tread ground. However, everyone’s experiences are, as they say,…

Trails Through Daybreak II Demos are Now Available
With the arrival of the new comes the impending release of the latest entry in the Legend of Heroes series. Despite being the kind of JRPG that caters heavily to true diehards, it’s still going quite strong, to the point that I can’t even keep track of the main entries anymore. The latest game is…
Metaphor ReFantazio – It’s Darn Good So Far!
After finally picking it up for Christmas (and after sitting on it for a week in favor of playing through Sly 2: Band of Thieves again), I’ve finally gotten started with Atlus’ latest: Metaphor ReFantazio. I’ve got about 12 hours into the game so far and have just cleared the first dungeon. And, I have…
Bravely Default 2: Demo Review
Although I am indeed an RPG fan, I feel like there’s just so many RPG’s out there that one would really need to catch my eye in order to entice me to buy it. One such series that I’ve always passed over was Bravely Default, which, aside from having a rather odd name, didn’t appear…
Wanderjahr: Demo Review
Wanderjahr is a cute and colorful JRPG with a deceptive level of difficulty. In fact, the game’s subtitle is “Try Again or Walk Away”, which seems like a clear challenge to the player. Are you going to try again and figure out where you went wrong…or give up? Well, considering I took the latter route,…
Cheeky Charlatans: Swaine
I’ve actually written about Swaine before on my own blog, but when we decided on the topic of “playfully mischievous characters” for the month of April, I couldn’t help but revisit my favorite character from Ni no Kuni, the snarky thief Swaine. Funnily enough, my original feelings for Swaine were actually far from positive because,…
Ni no Kuni for the DS vs. PS3 – What’s the Difference?
As a big fan of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch for the PS3, it was only a matter of time before I discovered that there was actually an earlier version of the game for the DS called Ni no Kuni: Dominion of the Dark Djinn. Unfortunately, this version of the game was…
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore: It’s Good to be Back!
After about three years of waiting, I’ve finally gotten the chance to return to one my favorite games from the Wii U: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE thanks to the new enhanced port for the Nintendo Switch. Mind you, there was nothing preventing me from playing it again on the Wii U. In fact, I’d just…
Pushing All The Wrong Buttons
I’m usually not the sort to buy a game and leave it unfinished. Games are expensive things afters all, so spending all that money only to not wind up getting your money’s worth doesn’t really make sense to me. There are times though where a game just doesn’t jive with me. I’ll do my best…
‘Persona 5 R’ Revealed to Be ‘Persona 5: The Royal’
Back in December, Atlus released a brief trailer teasing the existence of a brand new project involving Persona 5. No real information was given of course, but fans at least got the project’s code name, “Persona 5 R” to chew on until the next bit of info dropped sometime in March. Well, that time finally…
