I never did play the second or third one back then (still haven’t played the…

E3 is dead, long live E3. Well, okay, E3 is dead this year. We don’t know if it’ll be back next year or not. What we do know is that some companies still want to show off their games. And so we got digital events this month.

Each one of them has them our unique flavor: everything from Indiana Jones style adventure to horror to…

Over the years, I have played a few more Sega games, like Beyond Oasis and recently the first Phantasy Star, but there are still a lot of Sega games I haven’t played. Recently, I decided to get the Sega Genesis Classics collection for Nintendo Switch (helped that it was on sale). What…

Will this remaster ...

The following are my guesses on when we should expect news and what that news might be! Nintendo has been quiet lately (well expect for that Jump Rope game). Too quiet. What are they up to? When will we get (real) news next? Many people think that we’ll get news…
