Retrospection: Haunted House
I kicked off the month of October by focusing on the game that was the direct inspiration for the immensely popular Resident Evil franchise. While Sweet Home never saw a release outside of Japan, it’s influence has been felt worldwide. As we close out October, I decided that it would be fun to look at… Continue reading

Retrospection: Ghosthunter
Now that Halloween is but one week away, we’re down to the final three blog posts for our month of horror.

My Top 8 Ghost Type Pokemon
Continuing this month’s spooky theme, today we’re going to be looking at my favorite Ghost Type Pokemon. For this list, a Pokemon doesn’t have to be a pure Ghost Type (the list wouldn’t be nearly as fun if I limited it that way). And, of course, this list is entirely subjective. Feel free to share… Continue reading

Retrospection: Sweet Home
With the arrival of October, my favorite stretch of the year begins. While not my favorite month (that honor belongs to November), October begins a wonderful stretch of the year that I think most of us enjoy with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas all arriving in quick succession. October is especially exciting because it’s become the… Continue reading

Retrospection: ActRaiser
While the release of the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis systems and their increased processing power allowed developers to sharpen their visuals and develop longer games, it also allowed for large amounts of experimentation in the games being made. This lead to the release of titles such as EVO: Search for Eden, which challenged the… Continue reading
