It is a well-known fact that I love 80’s music. Metal, rock, new wave, pop, rap, and whatever else, I seem to love it all. Well, almost all of it. I can’t stand Blondie, Great White, or one Madonna song that I can’t remember the name of. Other than that I [...]
Shadow of the ColossusFrom the moment this game came out, I knew it was something special. Unfortunately, knowing something is special and having time and money for it are two different things.

Star Ocean: Till the End of TimeI loved Star Ocean: The Second Story for the PS1 and could hardly wait for the sequel to come stateside. But when I got the game last September, my enthusiasm wore off. I don’t know why but SO3 didn’t grab me like the second one did. Everything about SO3 seems very mediocre and it felt [...]
Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s AwakeningDevil May Cry 3 restores this franchise to the good side of gaming. Because let’s face it, DMC2 was a definite step in the wrong direction. Thankfully Capcom came to its senses and made some good changes. They changed the atmosphere of the game, the graphics, and improved the story.
Capcom decided to do a prequel [...]
