Games reviewed… eventually
Sometimes the sentiment attached to certain games truly baffles me. Obviously we all have our own individual opinions and that’s ok, and there’s very little one can say objectively about games when we recount and review our experiences with a given game. And yet, occasionally you get a game in front of you that you … Continue reading The Force Unleashed
It seems I’ve been on a big JRPG kick recently; chalk it up to having too much spare time on my hands thanks to shielding indoors from this never-ending global health crisis. Next on my very lengthy JRPGs list then is Rogue Galaxy. Rogue Galaxy (PS2, PS4 [reviewed]) Released Dec 2005 | Developed: Level-5 | … Continue reading Rogue Galaxy
I’ve mentioned Final Fantasy X before on this blog. Back in my very first review, I queried whether the then-latest title in the series, XV, could live up to its bittersweet journey. That journey is one I’ve held in very high regard; my first Final Fantasy, X has stuck with me over the years and … Continue reading Final Fantasy X

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (GBA, PS2, PS3, PS4 [reviewed]) Released Nov 2004 | Developed: Jupiter / Square Enix | Published: Square … Continue reading Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
I hope you’ve heard of Clover Studios. This little game company was responsible for some unique titles during the PS2’s lifespan; both the stylish sidescroller Viewtiful Joe and the beloved cult classic God Hand were part of their catalogue, but the one that always interested me the most was Okami. Both it and God Hand … Continue reading Okami

Still, it’s been rather a while, so I figured I might replay the … Continue reading Kingdom Hearts
