There is a lot to like about the game. And one of my favorite…

Many turn based role playing games have drawn from the experience and development of the Dragon Quest series, and true to the original release, Square Enix has actually done very little to overhaul the battle system they have implemented. Sure, there are a few new ways to deal damage, and a new movement option in Dragon Quest 11, but it's mostly stuck to the core mechanics that have made the franchise so successful for so long. And that's not a bad thing.

The Tokyo Game Show is going on now and we can expect some game announcements and new trailers to be shown. Square Enix has already shown a few new trailers, including another look at World of Final Fantasy Maxima! Check the new trailer out below and then please come back for my thoughts on it.

So you won’t see in comparisons  between the original …

Last week, we had a Nintendo Direct. There were a lot of announcements out of that Direct, however my favorites were Animal Crossing Switch and all those Final Fantasy games! I already talked about those though. For this More Thoughts, I want to focus on the other cool announcements from last weeks Direct. There was just so much! Here’s what else I liked. I don’t like Pokemon. I think everybody thats read this column or that follows me on twitter…

Today, Rockstar unveiled a number of locations that players will be able to visit when they get their hands on Red Dead Redemption 2 this October. You can find all the details here, but feel free to browse some of the images below!

When games are developed and released in Japan, western audiences sometimes feel left out. This was definitely the case for Dragon Quest 11, which was released in July of 2017 in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation 4. Over a year later, and the game has finally landed on western shores, with many fans asking, "What took so long." When playing through the first 10 or so hours of Dragon Quest 11, I realized one major thing: there is a lot of text in this game. I mean a lot! On top of the translation that would need to occur, there is also one other ...

Released earlier this week, Megaquarium is the latest game to come from Twice Circled, the one-man developer responsible for the construction-puzzler indie hit Big Pharma.
