Review – Bionic Commando (NES)

NES – 1 Player – Capcom If you ever hear someone complain about the “difficulty” of modern games, tell them to go play almost any NES classic.  Not only will they find many extremely difficult games, but they will be difficult games by design, not because the computer uses cheap AI to “always win”. Bionic Commando is one such game.  Honestly, this, and any game in the Ninja Gaiden series, are some of the toughest NES games out there.  Possibly one of the toughest games ever.  The one major pitfall of this game is its lack of password or save…

Review – Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (NDS)

Nintendo DS – 1 Player – Level-5 I could have sworn I had already done reviews for at least Professor Layton and the Curious Village but it looks like I am mistaken.  Either that or I’ve finally lost a chunk of posts with my constant shifting from one blogging platform to another.  Since this is essentially a fresh intro to the series I’ll just touch a bit more on the details instead of straight referencing old content.  I guess it’s better style anyway. At the core, the Layton games are nothing more than puzzle games.  More accurately, they are essentially…

Review – Final Fantasy X (PS2, PS3, PS4, PC)

PS2 – 1 Player Don’t ask me why it says “X” instead of “10” up there. I guess its just to keep with the idea that all FF games can be abreviated with three letters. Maybe people are just too lazy to put the 0 on the end. Actually it’s probably because everyone knows any name with an “X” on the end is automatically cool. Think about it, we have Malcom X, Jason X, Samurai X, Xyxex, the list goes on. This is one game though that is slick even without the tag-on “Cool X”. Before we get started with…

Review – Final Fantasy IX (PS1)

It’s amazing how something so good (FF8) can be followed by something so bad. Rumor has it, people complained about FF8 a lot. They complained because it was so different from the “classical aspects of the series” that Square decided to give the fans what they really wanted. In reality Square (hopefully purposely) created a bad remake of all of thier previous FF games all rolled into one. Pretty much every aspect of this game is based on some other game. Surprisingly it seems to draw the most from FF1. The biggest setback in this game was the return to…
