On this site’s former life, a long, long, loooong time ago, I ran a “deserted island” series that featured lists of games that I’d want to have if I were to get stuck on an abandoned isle with any given console of the time. Since that series ended with the Xbox 360/PS3, I’ve since considered…

Hat’s Ten Favorite Games From the Past Ten Years or So
I probably don’t need to tell any of you that 10 years is a long time, so picking just 10 games out from a literal decade of awesome stuff took some real thought. There are of course the games you instantly remember, but ot all of those were great experiences, you know? Sometines you can…
Hesitating at the Gates of Persona 3 Reload
Before Persona 5/ Persona 5 Royal, the Persona series was something I was aware of, but not all that terribly interested in. In fact, I think I only got into Persona 5 because of the music and my friend’s constant recommendations. Ever since playing Persona 5 though, I’ve considered myself a fan, even though I…
Resonance: No More What Ifs
Just how good is the Persona 5 (Royal or not) soundtrack? To my ears, it’s as excellent if not better than what I heard in Persona 3 Portable. While that soundtrack was no slouch, the sounds of P5R are exactly what I want in my life right now – cool, calm (mostly), and jazzy. That…
Playing to Get it Done
In a major departure from my usual gaming habits, I’ve been putting major hours into Elden Ring over the past couple of weeks. Seriously, I went from playing maybe 10 hours per week at most to nearly 30+! As it stands, my character is level 165 with just over 136 hours logged on it, and…
Getting Familiar With Japan’s Arcade Music Games
Ever since I moved here last year, I’ve made a point of getting out and doing things rather than just holing up in my room. It was rather intimidating at first since everything is so different, but iit got easier as time went on. One of the things I really wanted to do was try…
8th Generation Memories
Even though the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are now here and the first few games are already out in the wild, the now-current generation still doesn’t feel real for me. I still see games coming out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and frankly it’s going to be hard to get one of…
Shin Megami Tensei is Finally Coming Back, Next Game Hits in 2021
After three years of silence regarding Shin Megami Tensei V, Atlus finally decided to give fans something to hold onto. During this week’s Nintendo Direct Mini, the RPG developer released a new trailer for the game, and they even dropped a release window: 2021 worldwide. It’s been 7 years since the last game, and now…
Persona 5 Royal: It’s Good to be Back!
Ever since I first gave it a try back in 2017 I’ve been a pretty big fan of Persona 5. I love it’s stylish presentation, its rockin’ soundtrack and thoughtful gameplay. The story has some decent twists and turns to, but the real stars of the show are definitely the characters. I genuinely enjoyed my…
Hatmonster’s Top 10 Games of the Decade!
Well, here we are in the 2020’s. It was inevitable, but somehow I just didn’t think it was ever going to get here. Regardless, the 2010’s were a wild ride for us gamers, weren’t they? So much has happened and so many excellent games came out that it really was difficult to keep track of…
