    It’s Bit-Chomp Episode 2, a podcast about VIDEO GAMES! Brendan and Mike spend this week talking about the first days of Pokemon and how it completely took over the world. They then delve a little deeper and talk about the popularity of the MetroidVania genre. This obviously leads them to talk about the NX...

    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 Final Fantasy VI (1994) We can say many things about Final Fantasy today: It’s tired, it’s outdated, it needs to end.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...

    As we get closer to #1 I’m going to take just a little bit more time with each game. We have finally reached the top 10! What’s in store? Some of these may be predictable, some may not! I’m glad that you all keep coming back to see what I have to say about...

    Retrospectives are a tricky thing, and sometimes, they stray too close to the dangerous territory of Look At This Pretty Thing We All Remember. Not exactly interesting journalism. I aim to write them in a way that, hopefully, provokes discussion,  encourages healthy guffaws, and allows readers to think about the importance of retro games in today’s...

    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...
