With the newest release of a Final Fantasy MMO I started to think about what the greatest game of the main series was. If you yelled Final Fantasy VII then you’re wrong. If you said Final Fantasy IV then you are less wrong, but still wrong. FFIX is unequivocally the greatest to ever make its…
100 Rogue is a rogue inspired dungeon-delving game where you guide your titular hero on a quest to kill Satan. It takes a child-like view of the typical role-playing experience adding a unique level of humor. The OUYA is seriously lacking on the RPG front, so how does this old school game stack up to…
I LOVED Dragon Age. I mean I really really loved it. I was so ready to throw money at Dragon Age 2 that if they would have Kickstarted it, I would have been donated as much as I possibly could. Good thing I didn’t though, because DA2 was a lackluster follow up to one of…
What is Munch Face? Is it a strange slang somewhere in between the goofy insult a little brother throws and a nickname a father has for a son? No, that would be ridiculous. Munch Face is of course a mash up of old arcade classics like Bomberman, Pacman, and other “man” suffixed retro games (with…
