SNES Omnibus – A Physical Manifestation of the Retro Gaming Community
There is something to be said about the collaborative effort of those who absolutely adore video games. From the trenches of World of Warcraft raids to the massively popular and successful charity streams, gamers seem to have this need to connect with others either directly in game or through that shared interest.

How Endearing Switch Game Pode Came to Be – An Interview with Yngvill Hopen
Video games as an artistic medium still have a lot of untapped potential to convey stories and emotions. We’ve seen a wide range over the years, but there was definitely a race to squish the most polygons into a single screen for the longest time. Now that the graphics of games are shifting more towards the importance of artistic direction with games like Stardew Valley, Breath of the Wild, and Fo...[Read More]
Wonder Boy Inspired Aggelos Launches on Steam
If there’s one thing that surprisingly never gets old (for me at least) it is games that take the design past titles and renovate them for something new, yet nostalgic. This is precisely where Aggelos fits in, a title that is out now on PC with console releases coming soon that cites Wonder Boy in Monster World as an inspiration. The premise is that the hero is thrust into a battle for survival as...[Read More]
The Forgotten City Transforms Skyrim Mod into Full Game
Years ago, when I first was getting started in the world of video game journalism, there were few connections available to me and I had to find some of my own. Somehow, I stumbled upon a trailer for a mod for Skyrim and thought it looked really cool, so I messaged the creator and told him as much. A few months later, I was sent a build of the mod; I loaded it up and spent a sleepless night going t...[Read More]
Dragons Crown Pro (PS4) Review
Initially, I wasn’t super impressed with Dragon’s Crown Pro, which is an upgrade to a PSVita/PS3 beat-em-up RPG adventure featuring hand drawn animation by Vanillaware. What initially felt like a visual and audio upgrade for a game that would be easy to sink some time into, but would lack the energy I really wanted, transformed after sitting down for some couch co-op play. What resulted was a floo...[Read More]

Retro-inspired games are all the rage as more and more gamers become frustrated with the sleazy dealings of AAA publishers and look for something that reminds them of simpler times.

World to the West (Switch) Review
Unsurprisingly, the Nintendo Switch continues to be a vibrant platform for indie games. There have been several stand out hits on the system like Stardew Valley, Celeste, and Overcooked, but there are quite a few games that can easily slip under the radar.

Skyrim, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Witcher 3, all were fantastic open-world role-playing games that blew open the expectations of players around the world. However, they all have one thing in common; they are all fantasy. Ever imagine the world with Skyrim without monsters, dragons, and magic? What would that be like? What about other RPGs?
