Retro Review: Final Fantasy VIII

Posted on 09 September 2009

Today marks the 10th year since Final Fantasy VIII was released in North America. The game has retained a timeless appeal, and remains as addicting and fun today as it was the first time I cracked open disk 1 and met Squall Leonhart.

Retro Review: Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core

Posted on 30 July 2009

I am going to admit it; when I first heard about this game, I went completely insane with both anxiety and delight. I was terrified that Square Enix was going to butcher the prequel to one of the most beloved games of all time. Even so, I bought it the day it came out, crossing my fingers and hoped for the best.

Retro Review: American McGee’s Alice

Posted on 24 July 2009

Alice in Wonderland is one of the most beloved children’s stories out there. However, the original stories by Lewis Carroll weren’t just aimed toward children. No, that would have been a waste, because what child (especially today’s breed) is going to be able to look past rabbits, pretty girls, and mirrors to see the darkness and ugliness that could hide underneath? Perhaps most people can’t see the macabre heart of Alice, but American McGee could. For this, I applaud him. American McGee’s Alice takes the classic tale and turns it on its head for a topsy-turvy, harrowing look at what goes on inside the mind of an Alice that’s too far gone down the rabbit hole to ever be saved…

Retro Review: Radiata Stories

Posted on 22 July 2009

Let’s face it. You have a game that you’re secretly in love with, but slightly ashamed to admit it out loud. Radiata Stories is that type of game for me. I must have played this game over ten times, each time doing things a little bit differently. It’s one of those games that no matter how old it gets, you won’t stop playing it over and over and over and over and- well, you get the idea.
