Postgame Wrap-up: Sonic Forces
So, I have to make a confession here. I am not a fan of Sonic the Hedgehog. I’ve tried. I’ve played multiple games in the series (Sonic 2 is pretty good). I’ve given the franchise multiple chances. Sonic just doesn’t click with me. I think it has to do with my desire to explore levels… Continue reading

Postgame Wrap-up: Ys IV – Mask of the Sun
Being a fan of the Ys series of video games has not always been easy. While the series has seen regular English releases going back to 2005, there was a span of time from 1992 to 2005 that saw no English releases at all. While Ys III: Wanderers From Ys was released on the Super… Continue reading

My Top 8 Winter Themed Levels/Worlds
Note: This was a blog post that I put into drafts a bit over a year ago (just as an idea, with no details), but life happened and I’m here, a year later, finally completing it. For this post, I did concentrate on specific areas or levels of a game. Some games were ignored here… Continue reading

Postgame Wrap-up: Soul Blazer
Growing up in the 1990’s meant experiencing the joy of the Super NES and Sega Genesis first hand. Unfortunately, it also meant not having the money to acquire all those great looking games sitting on the shelf at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Toys’R Us, etc… As an adult, I’ve made it a point to try to find… Continue reading

Retrospection: Operation Rainfall
Note: The banner pic for this post was pulled from the Operation Rainfall web page. I do not have the talent to create such a striking piece. Anyone that’s been a fan of video games for any stretch of time knows that sometimes there are games announced in Japan that never see a release outside… Continue reading

Release Xenoblade Chronicles X (Updated)
Update: On 10/29/2024, at about 10:30 a.m. (two and a half hours after I published this post), Nintendo announced a port of this game was coming to the Nintendo Switch in March of 2025. So, I guess read this post for my praise of the game and ignore my sadness at it being locked on… Continue reading

Nintendo Switch 2 – A Thought
Nintendo is clearly having a good time watching us twist in the wind while waiting for the reveal of the follow-up of the Switch. Still, even with no news (at all) to go by, rumors and speculation are both running rampant. It’s times like this that I kind of wish Nintendo were a bit more… Continue reading

My Top 8 Games of 1995
Note: Though no one knew it at the time, 1995 was the beginning of a major change in the video game industry. Once dominated by Nintendo and Sega, 1995 saw the release of the Sony PlayStation. Nintendo and Sega still dominated the conversation for much of the year, but change was coming. Note (2): I… Continue reading

Retrospection: ClayFighter & Claymates
In the past, I’ve done a few posts that I’ve called Retrospection Minis. These posts covered two games that I couldn’t find very much information on. Make no mistake though, while I’m referencing two games here, this is not a Mini post. This post initially started as a look at Claymates, a platformer game that… Continue reading

Postgame Wrap-up: Mega Man I – IV (GB)
As an avid Mega Man fan, it has been my great shame that not only had I not beaten all the Gameboy entries, I hadn’t even played three of them. I completed Mega Man V many times as a kid (my brother owned it) and had played a bit of Mega Man II, but that… Continue reading
