Secret of Mana
Nostalgia is a funny thing. At a glance, it is that longing for the days-gone-by; a desire to relive those moments that our subconscious deems joyous and special. Going deeper, nostalgia is a feeling of loss, of distance, and, in some ways, of grief. You may get the feeling of...
There are a good handful of open-world, medieval RPGs (role-playing games) out in the gaming sphere. Some offer incredible storytelling, some offer a huge array of amazing things to stumble upon, and some have been re-released 6 times in the last 4 years. But the one thing I’m yet to...

Crossing Souls

Dynasty Warriors 9
The Dynasty Warriors franchise is certainly a divisive one. Starting life in 1997 as a standard fighter that pitted the likes of Ancient Chinese Generals such as Xiahou Dun, Guan Yu and Lu Bu in one on one fighting game—a genre that, at the time, was saturating the market. As...
