The Procession to Cavalry is a game I came across perusing GamePass. It reminded me of the cutscenes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Knowing nothing else I downloaded and started it up right away. It’s a classic point-and-click puzzle adventure with extremely funny writing. My fiance even stopped playing her game just to watch

Dungeons of Dreadrock is a game I learned about from one of Nintendo’s Indie Directs. It immediately caught my attention. It recently came on sale for the Switch so I snagged it for a couple of bucks. This little puzzle game is a nice quick playthrough and has some challenging levels to overcome. I think my

Okay. Real talk. Why the f*** has this game not been ported to consoles?! Honestly has to be one of the most bone-headed decisions in Square-Enix history to leave this absolute gem of the series stuck on mobile with annoying touch controls. Final Fantasy Dimensions is basically if Final Fantasy 5 and 6 had a baby. It’s that damn

After playing Pokémon Legends Arceus I felt my love for the franchise reignited. I looked at my gaming shelf and remembered I had actually snagged the physical double pack of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. I opened that sucker up and pulled out Brilliant Diamond as I played the original back in the day, sorry Shining Pearl. Outside of my immediate

On the recommendation of a friend, who turns out he doesn’t even remember anything about it, I moved Tales of the Abyss up the backlog list. I decided to play the 3DS port for its accessibility and portability. Allie is using the TV to play Kingdom Hearts II so I didn’t want to be in another room.

Another game I had back in the day. This time on Dreamcast. I had played up until you get a character named Mareg probably 3 or 4 times but never went past that. Younger me had a horrible gaming attention span a lot of the time. This game had much of the same charm as

Here it is folks. The strategy RPG we’ve been waiting for since the PSP ports of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. I played the demo of this when it was first released months ago and I have been hyped ever since. The full game did not dissapoint. I’m going to

Be warned, I took a lot of screenshots, because for a PS1 game with the HD treatment it had some really good cutscenes. Okay, so. I’m sure you’ve noticed by now I had a habit of not finishing PS1 era JRPGs. School, sports, homework, friends, whatever. Stuff got in the way alright? Well now that

I remember seeing this during a Nintendo Direct and thinking it looked like a ton of fun. A day later I forgot about it because I’m a dum dum. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago and I’m browsing XBOX GamePass and what do I see? Well if the name of the review hadn’t given
