One of the few Squaresoft games that has never even attempted to be remade is also easily one of the best. Now sure, I could’ve talked about the obvious Terranigma, Mother 3, Wonder Project J, Adventures of Hourai High, or even the Front Mission games that never reached American soil, but instead I’d love to […]

A Xeno Retrospective
October 16th, 2011 
gunsage Xenogears was a fan-fucking-tastic game. In fact, if you’ll recall it won RPG of the Year for me that year. I cannot honestly speak more higher of it. If you like sci-fi, martial arts, giant robots, anime, RPGs, oldschool Squaresoft, or any combination thereof, there is seriously no reason to pass that bitch up. And […]
Starting Fresh
September 22nd, 2011 gunsage So about a month ago I was desperately trying to finish up Shin Megami Tensei – Digital Devil Saga – Episode 1 (say that three times fast) and I was rapidly getting bored. “No,” I thought, “I must finish this! I want to hurry up so I can sell it and play something else! I […]
My Chantelise Review
September 1st, 2011 gunsage The indie scene is quite a popular place these days. It often reminds me of independent films; sometimes they’re not quite as good as big budget titles, but often if the director’s heart’s in the right place (or in this case the developer’s), the result is a lot of clever features, quirks, artistic style, incredible […]

July 20th, 2011 daddyof1 The MMA live action has been a little quiet over the past few months. There’s plenty of hype around the MMA world. We’ve had Tito Ortiz replace Phil Davis to face Rashad Evans in the next UFC Pay-Per-Views. Little Nog is out of his big match against Rich “Ace” Franklin. And now Alistair Overeem is […]
RPG of the Year – 2008
July 1st, 2011 gunsage I have to apologize in advance. I don’t own a PS3 or iPod, so there are a few titles here I can’t play that I’m sure you guys are going to dislodge your jaws wondering about. I’m sure Valkyria Chronicles is awesome. There, I said it…but I don’t know personally, so I can’t put it […]

June 28th, 2011 gunsage Surprisingly, there weren’t as many games this year, but all the same this year was AWESOME. There are 39 games. This was actually a tough year as far as deciding #4 and #5, though the top 3 was obvious even from the get-go. Let’s do this!

June 23rd, 2011 gunsage Holy shit damn, what a huge year! 57 games! And yes, there was a Sega Genesis game released this year. This is also one of those awkward years where a lot of developers were jumping to the new systems while other ones were still very unsure and wanting to develop stuff on the PS2, GBA, […]

Skyrim – Teaching Us How Frail And Weak We Are Through Gaming
When you play an RPG, you’re constantly told that you’re the chosen one, but still made to feel weak, even though you have incredible powers. It’s a constant contradiction. Look, in the Breath of Fire games, you can change into A FUCKING DRAGON, but often there are forces far more powerful than you and your […]
