I Fixed Maxie and Archie’s Team in Emerald Cause I Got Bored
I took a more casual approach to gaming this spring and see what I wanted to review rather than pressure myself into one. Which is why I got into playing Pokémon Emerald alongside Mother 3. One for casual play, and the other to cry like a little baby. I plan to have a personal retrospective … Continue reading I Fixed Maxie and Archie’s Team in Emerald Cause I Got Bored
Quikee: Top 10 Xbox Games that I Played On the Game Pass
December came and I was doing my rounds when I was recommended the X Box GamePass. It was a dollar for a month, so I was like, “hell yeah!” Now I was late for so much because it was just so good! You might be thinking, “and? What’s so exciting? It’s Xbox.” Let me explain. … Continue reading Quikee: Top 10 Xbox Games that I Played On the Game Pass

Child of Light Part 2: The Music, the Graphics, and The Little Things.
I’m back at it in the world of Lemuria, as I tackle the second part of my review! This one is more focused on the technical and side aspects of the game, which vary in terms of quality. It took me how long… oh boy, let’s just dive right in.
Child of Light Part 1: The Story, The Gameplay, and the Girl Who’s No Princess
Well, Ungifted is gonna have to take a pause because of school (ha!), but with midterms almost done I can discuss the core elements in Part 1 of the review.
Republic Commando: Dark, Gritty, and Full of Banter
Star Wars; A franchise so big that it’s one of the few that can afford a lot of genre splices. From the original that brought a new kind of hope for Sci-fi, to the rise of said hope dying to a mouse, Star Wars is a diverse franchise full of lore that it spawned various books, comics, and games that always had their own flair to it. Now, as a fan who’s only read 2 books, Star Wars is known for its space wizards along side several kind of armies fighting for the galaxy. But what about a story where their is no force? What if you could play as a special black ops team for the Republic, where you have to rely on military training instead of a man/woman/alien with a color coded blade? Well, none have done better in the limited Star Wars that I have than Republic Commando. Oh boy, get some bacta before this review because you’re about to learn about a masterpiece…and a shitty port.

4 months late since 2008. So, here are my reactions to the Gen 4 remakes and the prequel Legends, while also giving my opinions on why the mainline games have gone down hill. Don’t worry. I won’t talk crap about Mystery Dungeon, so please don’t send the firing squad.

Earthbound Short: My Thoughts on Picky
