Going from the glut of monsters in 4U, X, and Generations to the small roster of World took some getting used to. Read more

I think the break thresholds are pretty insane already. I don’t recall if I’ve ever broken specific parts before the last stage of the fight. Given that break thresholds are kinda BS when scaled for multiplayer, it would be an incredibly shitty thing to do. Read more

I’ll get on topic in a sec, but first:

Rotten Vale and Vaal Hazak are probably my favorites in the game. The recent addition of Kulve Taroth is especially good, especially how each phase ramps up the pace of it to match the escalating danger. The final phase also has a bit of Zinogre’s theme to it. Read more

My natural instincts and gamer rage tell me I should yell at this author for not mentioning the Bagel Goose theme. I’ll let it slide because Teostra is included in the mix.

This is now on Nintendo Switch, and will hopefully get the press and exposure it deserves. Having never heard of it until it popped up on the eShop — this game is Real art. Read more

I finally sat down and played Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. The game had me at “I made a promise to a very special lady... She said winners... don’t use drugs.” Read more

EarthBound is my favorite game of all time, and I don’t make comparisons of writing quality between it and other games lightly. That said, the game gave me serious EarthBound vibes the entire way through. Read more

This one’s easy: For me, it’s The Great Warrior (Seto’s theme). Just a few notes of that piece, and I can see Red XIII learning the truth about his father—how, all alone, he held the breach against the Gi, saving his wife, his son and the entire tribe by holding the Gi at bay long enough for the caves to be sealed…

I grab the daily login, but I’m still investing all my time in Final Fantasy: Brave Exvious. It’s like Pokémon meets FF.   Read more

How could you have forgotten about Metroid: Fusion? That game was incredible at instantly robbing you of your power as soon as the SA-X shows up. Read more
