Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning First Gameplay Trailer Released
A handful of years ago I got to take on Kingdoms of Amalur on the Xbox 360 the game was at the time created by Big Huge Games and 38 Studios, who also published the game with Electronic Arts. Not that long after its release, the news broke that 38 Studios was going bankrupt. That alone was big news as the company had just made its first game.
Genshin Impact Gets PC and Mobile Release Date
During PAX East 2020, I had the chance to go hands-on with Genshin Impact more than once. At first, I played the PC version of the game, which worked out quite well and provided some new ideas to the Action RPG genre that I haven’t seen much of in other games. The build was quite enjoyable as I continued on with the build. During my time I had questions including to the landscape around me i...[Read More]

Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories (PS4) Review
Prior to E3 2019, if you mentioned the video game company NIS or NIS America I would have no idea what you were talking about. Before meeting with the NIS America team at E3, their category of games was out of my gaming scope. Even though I do like adventure games and RPGs, franchises such as Trails of Cold Steel, Disaster Report, and even Disgaea flew under my radar; it was not until that meeting...[Read More]
Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4) Review
Final Fantasy VII is undoubtedly one of the most beloved games of my life and its accomplishments is certainly no small feat when it comes to staying power. This game singlehandedly sparked the interest of many non-RPG players around the world back in 1997 and it’s a game that’s continually had fans thirsty for more. Forgive me here, but I’m going to allude to some things that I&...[Read More]
You Shouldn’t Sleep on The Dark Eye: Book of Heroes
If you are like me and are missing the opportunity to hang out with your friends and have a game night, then you are also probably searching for alternatives; sadly, there is not always a clear cut answer. Yes, there is roll 20, zoom, and other avenues, but that is not always the answer. If you have given up on looking for avenues but are still looking for ways to roleplay then you are in luck. A ...[Read More]
Home Is Where You Can Play D&D
I just came back from a year of working in Tokyo. While that might sound like a great, interesting experience, it was also an isolating one. See, my Japanese is mediocre at best and Tokyo is much like New York City; busy, impersonal, unfriendly, and sometimes hostile, though in a more passive-aggressive way than NYC. Between the language barrier, Japanese shyness, and a fairly prevalent distrust o...[Read More]
Temtem (Pokemon-like MMORPG) First Impressions
There are few things that frustrate me more in gaming than the reluctance to change that’s found in the core RPG Pokemon games. Ever since Ruby and Sapphire, there has been a laundry list of either removed features like an additional region or seemingly obvious improvements like a fast-forward mechanic. I’ve played just about every core Pokemon game multiple times through on top of many rom hacks ...[Read More]
