When you are a small indie studio, and one of your games becomes a surprising success, odds are you are going to try and capitalize on it, maybe make a sequel based on what worked on that game, fixing its issues, and so on. That’s the natural progression. Well, if...
Nobunaga’s Ambition was one of the first NES games that I came across that truly baffled me as a child. For the most part, I associated my time with video games to be one of relaxation, stimulation and excitement in a variety of fields. To be able to run and...
When it comes to Nintendo’s strategy franchises, I have never been a fan of Fire Emblem. Maybe it’s my overall lack of interest towards medieval fantasy, or the saturation caused by the barrage of anime pretty boys stemming from the franchise in the Smash games. I have always gravitated towards...
They say there’s a first time for everything in life. For games, that’s especially true. Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars was my first dabble with RPGs; after I was through, I fell in love with the genre and have never looked back. With Disney Illusion Island,...
1-2-Switch is one of the most divisive games in the Switch’s stunningly long catalog. As a launch title, it made sense: an opportunity for new adopters to get a feeling for what the Switch’s capabilities were. It was a party game that was playable by almost anyone and utilized so...

The 90s was a wild era, with cartoons depicting Biker Mice from Mars and Street Sharks dressed in ripped jeans and denim shorts. It’s also the decade when I lived my most formative years. Unfortunately, they were also full of hospital visits. That didn’t stop this wee lad of seven...
Rise of the Triad is not a particularly well-known first-person shooter from the dawn of the genre (back when they were still called “DOOM clones”), but it has had a following for nearly three decades. It was the game that kickstarted the career of the makers of Duke Nukem 3D,...
Ever since the release of the original Five Night at Freddy’s, the Mascot Horror genre has been one that has slowly grown over the years. Whilst I’m not personally the biggest fan of the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise, the concept of taking a child-friendly setting and putting it into...
Out of all plots you could use in order to make a horror game, it’s shocking to realize that few, if any of them, are based around the classic tales of alien abductions and conspiracies. You know, the kind that made movies like Signs famous in the first place, the...
There are times when a hands-on preview at an event can give you a succint impression of what to expect from a game. There are other times in which these same previews can actually be deceiving, especially if the game in question is a slow burn, story-driven, or an ever-improving...
