After a great introduction in the humble Monochrome brick, Firebrand spread it wings and decided to move to the full color screen of the NES (Usually is the other way around) and came back with a vengeance in the Sequel/Remake/Prequel (Is complicated, we'll discuss it later) how the NES made justice to the past game? Let's find out Gargoyle's Quest II: The Demon Darkness was released two years later from the first game in 1992, the by the time better software of the NES allowed a cooler...

Insects chitter and chatter along the window panes, single-file lines across my desk, inside my walls. Hanging nearby, a worn corkboard. Pin-cushioned to hell and back, adorned...

While I am perturbed by the ease of difficulty in Final Fantasy XVI there is no mistaking the quality in the presentation. The visuals are a herculean feat, and the story is a sublime concoction of surreal and melancholic themes. The music is an epic blaring fiesta to behold.

Potions heal a substantial amount of...
