Final Fantasy VII is the game that made the series mainstream. It might be hard to believe, but there was a time in North America when not everyone knew about or liked Final Fantasy. Contrary to what some people think, not everyone was on the internet in the 1990s, and not everyone was subscribed toContinue reading “A Look Back at Final Fantasy VII on the PS1”

Amazing to Forgotten, Konami’s Abandoned Hockey Series
Konami is a bizarre company. In the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, it created many amazing and iconic games. Then, in the late 1990s, the company started to fall off as the cost of developing games rose, and the company focused on lower-cost ways of making money. Blades of Steel is one of theContinue reading “Amazing to Forgotten, Konami’s Abandoned Hockey Series”
The Not So Hardcore First ECW Game on the PS1
ECW was a unique wrestling company. It wasn’t as big as WWF or WCW, but it greatly influenced those two promotions. I didn’t know much about them in the late 90s, and I had the misfortune of being introduced to them through the Invasion Storyline in the WWF.

Frightening Atmosphere, Strange Facial Expressions | Call of Cthulhu
Call of Cthulhu is a survival horror game that, unsurprisingly, is based on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. It is similar to the story The Shadow Over Innsmouth and the movie Dagon. I think it is closer to the film than the book. I streamed this game a while ago on Twitch, and I’ve returnedContinue reading “Frightening Atmosphere, Strange Facial Expressions | Call of Cthulhu”
