The Shadow Hearts games are hilarious, fun, and great RPGs. All of them. If you’ve not tried at least one of them, you’ve seriously been missing out. Funnily enough, you won’t find them on most peoples’ top RPG listings. This is because of various factors such as better RPGs being out the same year, shortsightedness, […]

Just Cause 2
April 19th, 2012 
gunsage General Overview A typical outing into Just Cause 2 will have you deliberately flying off cliffs with motorcycles, opening up your parachute, zipping down to another vehicle with your grappling hook, and doing it all over again. The sheer amount of craziness and mayhem you can enact with this title is enough to get any […]
Minecraft 1.2 First Look: Jungle Biome
March 1st, 2012 Bruce McGee The Minecraft 1.2 update is live and ready for download. So I dropped everything I was doing and got the game all patched up. Then I shot a quick video showing off some of the features I found. I will have more on this update as I get time. Now I had better pick back […]
The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 5
January 27th, 2012 gunsage Sometimes the mere mentioning that a game had RPG elements was enough to shelf the idea to bring it over. You’re going to see me pulling this excuse a lot because for every Mega Man, Castlevania, TMNT, Mario, Zelda, and whatever title that came out, you’d have a dozen or so RPGs that didn’t quite […]
The Fantastic World Of Japanese Games – Episode 4
January 26th, 2012 gunsage Sometimes a game is deemed “too weird” to come to American soil. This doesn’t happen all the time and usually when it does, it’s for good reason. I mean, I guess so. All three of the games highlighted here definitely have their quirks, but should still definitely have come to America. Sadly, all three are […]
The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 3
January 25th, 2012 gunsage Far too often a game simply won’t be released in America because…well, it’s predecessor failed. Now for me, this is never acceptable, but I do understand. If a game has a huge following in Japan AND it’s an RPG, but it doesn’t really take off in America, they’re more likely to continue the series in […]
The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 2
January 24th, 2012 gunsage When playing Japanese SNES games on an emulator, often there are obvious and not so obvious reasons why a game may not have come out to America.

January 23rd, 2012 gunsage People who understand emulation, even to a small degree, know all about the fantastic world of translated games that never left Japan. Most of the time it was for reasons like RPGs not selling well in America at the time, more mature content than they felt an American audience was ready for, or simply having […]
Hand Holding Vs. Being Totally Lost
November 15th, 2011 gunsage Sometimes moderation really is best, as is the case in hand holding vs. being totally lost. What the hell am I even talking about? We’ve all been there. “I know I move the joystick to go forward, thanks. Yes, I’m pretty sure the jump button still makes me jump. Way to go, I never would’ve […]
