I consider myself a pretty open-minded guy; I'm pretty down for anything when it comes to entertainment. However two topics I can't say I had any real interest in are 1) the French perspective of The Hundred Years' War (1337–1453) and 2) strategy games. Despite that, I found myself mysteriously drawn to the title Jeanne d'Arc ever since I first saw it on GameStop's shelves back in 2007. Perhaps because it was first party Sony title that hadn't seen much fanfare or appreciation in the years...
Oh hey, two articles in a row! Is this really me?! In any case, welcome to another entry in “Talking Point”, a magazine-style series of casual articles! If you have any topic suggestions, do feel free to leave them below! I’d love to hear your ideas! Today we look back on Delisted Games, a topic that leaves many gamers with a fear of missing out, myself very much included.
It goes without saying that it sucks when a game is taken off stores. Even disregarding the whole preservation aspect...
It was the most beautiful ritual in existence.
I will forever remember how my sister and I would practically jump out of my dad's Volkswagen Gol as it was still moving, easing to a halt as he killed off the engine, how we climbed the stairs to our home and deposited our bags on the floor, rushing to the TV so we could catch half an episode of Pokemon (because the school didn't let up early enough for us to see the whole thing). Then we would storm to the kitchen, commandeer the table and...
Once again we dive into the sea of 16-bit licensed Marvel games in part two of our journey. We’ve covered the early 8-bit world, the time of the ancient third gen handhelds, almost all wondrous arcade games, and the first 5 of the 16-bit games. Last time we covered what turned out to be the real standouts so far, being both the Genesis and SegaCD version of Spider-Man vs. the Kingpin; those were both phenomenal games that I cannot recommend enough for someone looking for some Spidey crotch...
When I first decided that I was going to be doing a review on Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (the first edition, not to be confused with the second edition of the game also called AD&D; it's a whole can of worms), it was December. There wasn't even an identifiably Canadian amount of snow on the ground yet, and now here I finally am in April here with no snow on the ground at all. Life and time, you know?
Some of you may have read, and remember, my little article on the various versions (five...

Remakes, what are your thoughts on them? Are they a great excuse to revisit a classic you once loved? Are they different means of re-exploring old concepts through new lens, a different interpretation that has a right to exist? Do you feel it doesn’t matter if we get remakes so long as the original versions are still readily available and easy to access or do you believe the very concept of a remake is inherently flawed, that art is just lighting in a bottle that can’t be re-captured?
None...

INTRODUCTION (by Yousef)
Hello and welcome to the (almost) all-encompassing classic Yakuza retrospective, where me and my great friend Aziamuth take a closer to look at many of the series’ classic entries that helped define what it is today. First of all, it’s my BIRTHDAY! (Small note by Aziamuth: we were planning on posting this on Yousef's birthday but complications arose. My bad! Nonetheless, please wish them a happy birthday). That’s not really relevant to what’s being discussed, but it...
