Square Enix
Collection of Mana (Switch) Review
The Mana series, known as Seiken Densetsu in Japan, is unique in gaming. Even the way the series started is a tale of gaming history where an attempt to make a game in which the combat happened on the same screen as exploration ended up creating not one but multiple beloved games. The original attempt went on to become the famously good Chrono Trigger, while a new project came in the form of Final...[Read More]
The Last Remnant Remastered (Switch) Review
For most of my gaming life, Xbox consoles have been pretty much absent. PC, Nintendo, and PlayStation have always fulfilled my gaming desires. There are plenty of reasons for this, and I’m not going to bother readers in this review. Every now and then, though, a game would come out that would make me wish I had an Xbox console; The Last Remnant was one of those games. As a big fan of JRPGs, to hav...[Read More]

Growing up in the 90s, I had exposure to some of gaming’s greatest titles at a very young age. This was partly due to my next-door neighbor’s Super Nintendo.

As a result, that left me with lots of ga...[Read More]

Final Fantasy X/X-2 and XII are Exactly What They Should be on Switch
There were lots of games across all genres and budgets in Boston for PAX East 2019. Sometimes though, it’s a port of a classic that can really stand out. I had the chance to try out two of my favorite games of all time on the Nintendo Switch – Final Fantasy X / X-2 and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age – and I loved every second of it.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 Hands-on Impressions
At PAX East 2019, I had the chance to get my hands on Dragon Quest Builders 2, the sequel to 2016’s Dragon Quest Builders developed and published by Square Enix, that features gameplay that remains a wonderful mixture of Dragon Quest and Minecraft.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Grand Caiman DLC Offers More Than Expected
While the core release of Shadow of the Tomb Raider has been impressive enough in its own right, there’s something remarkable about the downloadable content support that both Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamics have given it. We’ve seen some fun additional levels and new ideas that bubbled to the surface, including some involving…the undead? We’ve also seen some great Challenge Tombs, giving playe...[Read More]

We recently got a chance to try the game out before...[Read More]

My Journey with Kingdom Hearts
Back in 2004, my blossoming and eager young mind was bombarded by the things that happen to a boy of that age. I bought a PS2 with some birthday money. Instead of dedicating my brain to learning, it was instead fascinated by my access to a new library of games. One of the games that I came across was Kingdom Hearts. It combined Final Fantasy character and Disney characters into the same universe a...[Read More]
