It was about time I covered a RTS huh?
I could have gone for a more popular one, but that would be boring, instead, I decided to cover a personal favorite, which also fit the mold of being a quite obscure one.
There are only 2 ways that you know about this game, either like me, you found it when you checked Bohemia Interactive’s (which is now the owner of the rights) publisher page just to see how many DLCs Arma 3 has, or you are Eastern European.
There is only PC version this time, well...
Over the years I have played many JRPGs, this and the PSP are probably the system that I played most with, using emulators of course, today I am going to talk about them, and tell about my personal history with those games.
So let's start with introducing myself and my relationship with, I was born in January of 2005 long after the PS1 era, but I was always found of retro gaming, in early 2020 I started playing JRPGs, coincidentally it was around the same time as the pandemic started, I...
Even though we love to place importance on numbers (and for good reason in some cases), I never really paid much attention to the whole thing... "you should act your age" always came across as a rather offensive statement to me, and one that seemed to want me to follow some sort of magical criteria without ever telling me what that was. I also found it to be limiting by design, mostly because it worked both ways.
I had tremendous arguments with my parents because I used to come home from...
Resident Evil 4- Perennial lightning in a bottle.
Few games have usurped a franchise’s norms and simultaneously revolutionized a genre. Resident Evil 4 is one of those quintessential masterpieces that have achieved just that. Even if your first impressions of this game were through the much-maligned PS2 port like me you still were in awe of its unmitigated majesty. The presentation of the game exudes excellence through every pixel and polygon gracing your visage. The sound design is...
I love Sonic the Hedgehog, a sentence I’m sure will trigger many a reader’s fight or flight response. But I do love Sonic the Hedgehog. Not the movie, it’s okay. Not the character, I’m unsure how to feel about him. Not the franchise, I’m even less sure how to feel about that. Not the 2006 game although it would be both funny and on-brand for me to be into that one. Not the bizarre GBA port, that one isn’t even bad in a funny way. Not the SatAM cartoon although that one gets a high...
Eternal poison is a SRPG developed by Flight-Plan and published by banpresto in Japan and Atlus in North America, and I personally think the game is mediocre, but why is that the case?
Story:
It's probably one of the best thing about this game, it may not be excellent or great but it's good and interesting enough, the character may not be deep but because everyone acts towards everyone else in a passive aggressive way, the character and their interactions suddenly become a lot more...
Shining Force 2 - War of the Gods… what an ambitious name to go with an ambitious hack. Does it live up to its sense of ambition? Let’s take a look
What can be said about Shining Force 2 that hasn't already been said?
For anyone who enjoys tactical games in the present there is a large chance that your enjoyment of the genre is owed in large part to the masterpieces that came before. Shining force 1 and 2 for example, paved the way for other glorious strategy games to follow. The...
Before we begin!: What you are about to read is my take on the crazy and active Pokemon Trading Card "fad" of 1998-99, precisely its dying days as printing of the Panini figuritas and accompanying album ceased entirely. This is NOT the official TCG, but an officially-licensed take on it based on collecting rather than playing (although we still found ways to make a lot of games out of it, particularly throwing them against the wall for keeps, seeing who could toss them further).
I decided...
I return with another game review, this one came out pretty quick, mostly cause the game is pretty short all things considered.
Ecstatica is an interesting beast, although I was familiar with this game already, and played the DOS version for a bit, a long time ago that is, I never actually delved into it properly, didn’t even finish it.
Now, since the thread about this game got my attention, I said, “Eh why not?” So here we are, goes to show, that if you want me to cover a game, all it has...
