What is the PS1 Classic?
The ps1 classic, which will be referred to as ps1 mini from here on out for brevity, was part of a long yet ironically short-lived boom of “mini” consoles back in the late 2010s, this awkward phase consisted consoles such as the NES mini, SNES mini, Genesis Mini and Atari mini. While this fad didn’t last long, it spawned a neat wave of novelty collector’s items that are luckily not too hard to obtain and mod these days. They serve as a fairly healthy gateway to...

Concluding the trilogy of Capcom articles, we’ve got this last top list. This time we would like to feature user feedback! Giving this piece a bit more zest.
🧹But Firet, Some Housekeeping…
Hilariously enough, this went through what I could only describe as development hell. That’s hyperbolic of course but it’s hilarious to call it that. It felt like the universe did everything in its power to make sure this article CANNOT come out, from things like really late dms, people I chatted with...
What I liked the most about my gaming journey was the fact that it was imperfect, almost as if someone had kicked the puzzle box and then hastily tried to rearrange the pieces, but without any idea of what the final image was supposed to look like. I have always been drawn to the results, because there's a certain realism to them (painful as it was to figure out and navigate through).
I was not supposed to first see Google by hooking up the Dreamcast to a landline first thing out of the...
You know what I mean.
...no? Damn. Alright then, *context*.
Okay, Talk About It
There's a quality to a lot of Martin Scorsese movies that makes them challenging, at least to general audiences. When he shows crooks and hoodlums in classics like Goodfellas (1990), Casino (1995), or The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), he doesn't shy away from them having *fun*. They pal around, they get rich, these assholes enjoy their lives. They all have inevitable downturns as the criminal element catches up...
When I was a kid, I thought for sure that the entire point of gaming was to give me a quick fix. I didn't want to spend my time scrolling through endless dialog boxes or complicated lore that didn't appeal to me in the slightest. I just wanted to have some fast fun through the button-mashing, arcade-y nature of the many titles I had managed to get my hands on through trades and rentals.
I didn't wanna play anything that required me to think.
Of course, that mindset was challenged (and...
I remember when my friend invited me over to play the new game he had just gotten.
He told me that Resident Evil 1 was one of the best games he had ever played, and I had no reason to doubt him... this was a famous game, and even if you were like me (and were living under a massive mountain), you knew what this game was, even if you had never laid eyes on it yourself. So, I was quite eager to finally play it.
But as soon my friend handed me the controller, I thought that he was playing a...
Fishing. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, it refers to “the sport or jobs of catching fish”. Fishing has been one of the main ways humanity has thrived since… well, the beginning of times! Whether it’s just to feed ourselves, as a source of income or even for fun (which I disapprove of, by the way) mankind and fishing have always been intertwined.
Naturally, at some point, fishing seeped into videogames. Most gamers love a good fishing minigame. The thrill of what fish you can get is...
I know, here we go again, another D&D game. I have a type, what can I say? I’ll be hard at work playing something else, then suddenly I come to, huddled in a dark room, playing Neverwinter Nights or Dark Alliance without even realizing it. Also, I do play more tabletop RPG’s than just D&D, just for the record, it’s just that the fantasy classic has way more (and better) video games than pretty much any other one. Unfortunately, both the two Shadowrun games are of very questionable quality...
Good evening everyone. Initially this was meant as a general anime list, but given it was dominated by Capcom mainly, it felt more fair to lean more towards this direction.
Naturally, we’re gonna follow the usual “one show per franchise”, as a lot of these got adapted more than once, especially a certain series about Karate fighters shooting fireballs from their hands.
With obvious opinion disclaimers aside, onto the list proper!
Honorable mentions go towards the Darkstalkers anime and...

Good evening and welcome to Part 2 of our collaborative piece between me and @Waffles. Please head over to his Part 1 article for his retrospective spin on this game’s history. Today’s article will be the review, judging the game not based on personal history but as a game full-stop. Today we shall examine Tommy Vercetti’s quest to conquer Vice City and see if it truly stood the test of time! So without further ado, let’s ram random pedestrians and get right into this.
For the uninitiated...
Megaman has had an illustrious career over the past three decades, spanning a total of 38 mainline games (Yes, I counted them) spread across 2 timelines, at least 4 genres and countless game systems. If you thought it was hard enough to keep track of every Kingdom Hearts game due to the sporadic console releases back in the day, then you had your work cutout for you with Megaman.
But with so many games, some are bound to be more polished or more fun than others. Today we’re ranking the ten...
Introduction
Years ago, back when young child Dameon was just turning 11 years of age, he was begging his parents for a new game console, and for that years Christmas, that's just what he got. Luckily for my parents, I was never one to ask for much, which meant that, luckily for me, this gift came with a lovingly and creatively curated stack of games. Among the stack, this absolute gem of a game, which I surprisingly learned some years later, was picked out for me by my aunt, who to anyone...
The Nintendo DS is one of my favorite consoles, if not my favorite console, ever. Very functional, slick design, a nice duration to its battery, ergonomic, plenty of functionalities, buttons that feel good… Just a excellently designed piece of hardware. And very durable, too! Mine fell on the floor a bunch of times and still works wonders! I did have to change the circuit for the trigger buttons, but the rest works magnificently.
Aside from being a good console, it has one of the most...
If you ask the average gamer what the first big survival horror game was, there’s usually one of two answers. It's either Resident Evil, or Silent Hill. While both of those are of course valid answers as they are obviously some highly influential and successful horror games, there was something that predates them, something further back that arguably originated the genre that never gets its due; I'm referring, of course, to Atari’s 1982 2600 masterpiece, Haunted House.

Fire Emblem is one of the first instances of strategy RPG ever (I think). The first entry originally released in 1987 for the FAMICOM, but the series wouldn’t get a release outside of Japan until the seventh entry on GBA, which would be released in both Europe and North America as simply Fire Emblem (its true name is Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade). Before that, the characters Roy and Marth made an appearance as playable characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but just like with Lucas in Brawl...

Consumer arcade sticks have come in many designs with a variety of functions. From original console manufacturers to third-party companies, arcade sticks have ranged from questionable quality to simply functional builds. Early on, bringing the full arcade experience home was hindered by the lack of the tangible experience that a basic controller could not satisfy. A few companies like Nintendo, ASCII, and Hori were among the early names attempting to bring a proper arcade panel to a...
How Can a Single Letter Mean So Much?
D was a strange FMV-based game for PlayStation that didn’t get much attention or very good reviews. D-2 is a spiritual successor to that game with more gameplay and stunning visuals, but it still has its fair share of issues. This is by far one of the strangest games I have ever played, and being my first Dreamcast game, it helped put the system into perspective.
You play as a woman named Laura Parton, who is a flight attendant and is on a plane that...

In 2002, 2 years after the launch of the legendary PS2, two Disney' employees were talking in an elevator. Until one of these employees comes up with a crazy idea... "What if we combined Disney characters with Final Fantasy characters and made a game about it?". Well... although the idea may seem strange, that's where one of the best JRPG franchises of all time was born... Kingdom Hearts.

On an isolated island called Destiny Islands, 3 young people live. These are Sora...
Welcome to the first installment of From The Depths, where I get my figurative tentacles all over something obscure from the far and deep waters of the past (get it? It took me ten seconds to think of this). These will be one-off reviews of specific games I’ve encountered and dragged up that I feel deserve to see the light of day; either because they're forgotten but great, or forgotten because they're terrible. Who knows what's hidden behind the shifting tides of time, ebbing underneath the...
An N-Gaging Experience
October 7, 2003, was a day to remember or completely forget, depending on who you were. The original N-Gage model sold for $299 ($462 adjusted for inflation) and was a graphical powerhouse on par with the original PlayStation. While the seven original launch titles were all ports from GBA and PlayStation, they ran from very well to questionable, and the system showed a lot of promise. I remember seeing the N-Gage in GameStop as a broke 13-year-old, wishing I could get...
To Resident Evil, Or Not to Resident Evil
Resident Evil significantly established the benchmark for survival horror games and 3D gaming in general. Games were still trying to figure everything out. Camera angles, movement, pacing, and combat. It was up to these developers to pioneer 3D games for the next 20 years. Parasite Eve may have been a short-lived franchise, but it made a lot of advancements in the 3D action/survival horror genre that Resident Evil was quickly trying to dominate...
Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 (also known as Thracia, Fire Emblem 5 or simply FE 5) is probably the most challenging title in the series, because of its map design and inherent mechanics, despite the fact that enemy units are actually the weakest in the series. It’s also the most evil of the bunch, but also the apex of strategy in the franchise. Due to this, knowing who your best units are is crucial, as they help alleviate the load that this game provides on the player.
In comparison to the...
When digital cameras broke out in the 1990s, that was thought to be the last evolution for photography; finally, you didn’t need film, you could store your photos on the camera itself and even transfer and print them from a computer! While a generally antiquated idea by today’s standards, digital cameras were nonetheless a huge deal for the consuming public, and it wouldn’t take long for game companies to notice.
Released in 1998 as a tie-in with the printer accessory, the Game Boy Camera...
