I’ve got a problem, Chompers, I’ve become addicted to a certain genre. That genre is a hybrid of two of the most celebrated series in videogame history, Metroid and Castlevania. For the past decade or so, this mash-up has been named MetroidVania. I understand it’s not the best of names, but it is a...

3. Final Fantasy VI (1994) We can say many things about Final Fantasy today: It’s tired, it’s outdated, it needs to end. It’s sad to see what has happened to this once great series. There was a time when Final Fantasy was synonymous with excellence and it looks like Square Enix may have lost...

40. Tales of Symphonia (2004) When counting up all the RPGs on the GameCube, the list is criminally short. The GC represents one of the low points in history for Nintendo’s relationships with 3rd part developers. In 2004 GC owners were treated to a neo-classic JRPG, Tales of Symphonia. ToS wasn’t the first “Tales”...

60. Mass Effect (2007) Western RPGs represent their hemisphere quite well. The western desire for freedom and expansion is shown greatly by the role playing games created by American and European game developers. Mass Effect is a perfect example of this come to fruition. While there is a definite story to follow, Mass Effect...

80. Suikoden II (1998) One of the greatest and most celebrated JRPGs of all time. Sadly, I was never able to play this pirate-quest of a game until recently when Konami released it on the PSN. I was blown away. I can’t believe that a game that came out in 1998 (best.year.ever?) was able...

I am a person who has always loved video games. I began playing them when I received my NES as a gift on my second birthday. Since then video games and I have shared a love/love relationship. They’re my escape, my doorway into different worlds, and a way to decompress after a long day....

Before we begin, I want to explain that I have a bit of a complicated relationship with Deadpool. I like him, in limited doses. He’s like that friend you had in college who just couldn’t seem to leave that mindset. He belches, farts, makes off-color comments, and it’s funny, but if you have to...
