I had never played a Final Fantasy online game before. I didn’t think they’d be for me nor do I want to pay a charge every month. However when I found out that there was a free trial for Final Fantasy 14 on the Playstation 4, I decided it was finally time to try an FF online game. So what do I think? Well… Over the weekend, I’ve been playing Final Fantasy 14’s free trial. And… Actually I like it.…

Cook, Serve, Delicious! 3?! takes the fevered cooking game on the road, which opens up a slightly different gameplay style while further refining the original gameplay concept along the way. All three of the games in the series amount to what is a frantic rhythm game as orders come in associated with specific sequences of button presses to complete.  For many of the early orders, this can lead a player to a zen-like experience of hitting the sequences without much…

I’ve been watching a lot of Youtube Video Game Channels lately. I especially love hearing about retro video games, but even new stuff is cool too. So without further ado, here are my top 5 youtube video game channels! Oh and if you don’t want to read it, there’s a youtube video with me reading all this (though you’ll miss the youtube links if you don’t read too. heh). Just a note that everyone should include! This is my opinion…

Ys is a long running series that doesn’t get a lot of attention. I’ve played a couple of the games but Ys Origin for the Nintendo Switch is the first time that I’ve really given the series a fair chance. Is Ys Origin worth a look or is this an entry in the long running series that you should skip? Ys Origin isn’t a modern action/rpg. It is most definitely an old school action rpg. The game’s story is a…

In what feels like a lifetime ago, but really wasn’t too long ago, I bought the Kingdom Hearts: Story So Far collection. I had to have it. I beat Kingdom Hearts 3, loved it, and felt like I wanted to replay the other games. And off and on I have been playing them some. Recently, I got back to playing Kingdom Hearts 2. I’m not very far yet but I wanted to get all nostalgic about the game and talk…

Just released from indie-developer Homunculus Games, Endless Memories is a 2D action-adventure side-scroller that mixes a handcrafted non-linear world with ARPG elements. With fast-paced combat and in-depth buff systems, this 2-man dev team is looking to make a lasting impression with their first PC title. Breaking onto the big scene is tough for any indie developer, and the market for 2D action-adventure games is a saturated one to be sure. Will Endless Memories carve out some space for itself with its unique blend of genres and gameplay? Let's find out!

We’ve seen a lot of Metroidvania’s on the Nintendo Switch but what about a Metroidvania that combines elements of an rpg and a visual novel? Enter Even the Ocean for Nintendo Switch, a hybrid of sorts: one part Metroidvania, one part rpg, and one part visual novel. Is it any good? Even the Ocean isn’t defined by just one genre. At first glance, its a Metroidvania. And then you see its world map and you think “oh its an rpg”…

Recently, Team17 released The Survivalists, an action-adventure sandbox game set in the universe of The Escapists.

Available now on current-gen consoles and PC, The Survivalists looks to combine our favourite elements from a few ...

Do you like Metroid? If the answer is yes, than buckle up! A new Metroid-like game is coming out today on the Nintendo Switch eshop! Its called Two Parsecs From Earth. Is it a good game? Let’s find out! Two Parsecs From Earth isn’t a Metroidvania game. Its a very Metroid-like game. What’s the difference? Well Two Parsecs doesn’t really have any Castlevania in its blood. Instead its very much Metroid: searching underground for powerups while avoiding enemies. There are…

I love Kingdom Hearts. I think I mentioned this before. I’m a big fan of the series. However, I am not a rhythm game fan. So when Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory was announced…I was excited?! What?! Well, Kingdom Hearts does have great music. Plus its a Kingdom Hearts game that is coming to the Nintendo Switch! A demo has been released now and I’ve played it. What do I think of Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory? Kingdom Hearts has…
