Hey, instead of an article or articles talking about video game news today, I thought I’d give you a video with me talking about some stuff, including the PS5. I plug the site too (of course), one of Adam Roffel’s newest contests, and my column. Want to see more video game news updates from me? Let us know!…

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.…

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…

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”…

The latest in the wildly successful franchise set in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, Baldur's Gate 3 was just recently released via Early Access.

How will this latest installment find its place in one of ...

The first Oceanhorn was an slightly overhead Zelda influenced game. It was well put together and a really good game.

Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm will be available on the Nintendo Switch on October 28th. It will cost €29.99/$29.99/£29.99. The game will be available for…

Recently, I checked out the Mass Effect Andromeda demo. I had never played this Mass Effect before. I didn’t know at first that I had just downloaded the whole game and I had a ten hour trial to check it out! And so I played the game for about 7 hours and I have some thoughts on Mass Effect Andromeda! I have played the first couple of Mass Effect games. I liked the first one more because it was much…

A long time ago, I played an Ys game on the SNES. I thought it was okay. Then more recently, I played a demo of a recent Ys and thought it was not too good. So I’m not an Ys fan but I am open to the series. One of my favorite youtubers, Happy Console Gamer, is a huge fan and I trust his opinion. And when I was offered a review copy of Ys Origin for Nintendo Switch, I…
