Too Much Awesome

I’m not much of an RPG gamer but when I saw Bastion previewed for the Summer of Arcade I pegged it as one I would enjoy. Most of the time my gaming expectations aren’t fully satisfied but this time they were exceeded.

Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade on Xbox Live is nearing very quickly, and while there are a few titles in that bunch that have me excited, this past week’s offers kicked off what will certainly be an expensive summer for me. Galaga Legions DX and Half Minute Hero were both released for $10 and I have [...]

There’s a very high chance that my childhood is dead. And not just from age, as I firmly believe that anyone can retain their childlike sense of wonder and attitude for an infinite stretch of time. No, I have a sneaking suspicion that my childhood died a violent death at the hands of a cruel [...]

If anything unites gamers, it’s most certainly fanservice dished out in droves. Knowing this secret to instant success, Square-Enix brought the PSP a little title called Final Fantasy Dissidia, a strange fighter/RPG hybrid that consisted of characters from every numbered Final Fantasy title. Seeing as how it sold like Phoenix Down, Squeenix is back with [...]

I’ve talked about Golden Sun for the Game Boy Advance before. It was the last game spotlighted in my feature, Games You Should Have Played. Since then I’ve had a chance to play through and complete the sequel, Golden Sun: The Lost Age, a direct continuation of the first game picking up exactly where the [...]

Dragon Quest is insanely popular in Japan. Here in the US, however, it’s also insanely popular. And I’m perfectly okay with this as the games tend to be extremely high quality. Squanre-Enix, doing what they do best, decided that it would be a great idea to remake a bunch of old Dragon Quest games for [...]

Since I haven’t been keeping up with Games You Should Have Played as much as I’d like to, and since I’m currently replaying said game currently mentioned, I want to hit more in-depthly on a title I’ve spoken only briefly about in the past: Golden Sun. It was one of the five Game Boy Advance [...]

Here we go, we have another FPS to review. But this time there’s a catch. This time, we’ve also got an MMORPG, of sorts. Yup, talking about MAG this time, a First Person Shooter that’s big hook is the ability to play with 256 players at the same time. In fact, there isn’t even a [...]

You know that Final Fantasy XIII is on its way, right? It’s been quite a few years in the works, but we’re finally getting rough release dates for the game of games. Currently, Final Fantasy XIII is scheduled for a December release in Japan, which means an early-mid 2010 release for the US (expect those [...]

Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story is the third game of the series and it’ll be on the DS this September.  Surprisingly, the Mario & Luigi role playing games don’t get nearly as much credit as they deserve. Look, I’m a Mario addict, especially anything that plays like Super Mario RPG.  The Paper Mario series [...]
