Due to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild being on sale around Christmas, I now own it on the Nintendo Switch.

It isn’t my favorite The Legend of Zelda game of all time, but The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is nothing short of a masterpiece. All of the accolades, awards, and praise the title has received since its release have been much deserved. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the type of open-world experience that you will lose yourself in as the hours pass by. Just when you think you’re starting to get a handle on all the game has to offer, you realize that you haven’t even scratched the surface yet. Breath of the Wild is a large game. It’s a long game. And if you are a fan of the series, Breath of the Wild will no doubt likely be one of your favorites.  Continue Reading

Final Fantasy IX Moguri Mod Download

I will be the first to admit that Final Fantasy IX isn’t one of my favorites in the series. When it first came out, I was disappointed in the game’s return to a more fantasy-based look rather than the more realistic-looking visuals in Final Fantasy VIII. But there is no doubt that many Final Fantasy fans loved Final Fantasy IX. But when I saw the Moguri Mod for the PC version of Final Fantasy IX, I suddenly had an interest in the game that I hadn’t possessed before. Having played a bit of the game on the original PlayStation, I was floored when I saw the graphical upgrades to the PC version of the game that make it look as if the game came more from the PlayStation 2 generation. What an outstanding job the team did to revamp this RPG classic. Continue Reading

What Would You Do If…Video Games Didn’t Exist?

If I didn’t have video games, I would probably be doing a lot more reading.

I love books. From the time that I could remember as a child, reading was something that I enjoyed. I loved the creative stories that made up fictional texts and I delighted in the knowledge that I gleaned from non-fiction books. Reading was not something my parents or anybody needed to force me to do. I did it willingly and even participated each summer in reading programs at the local library when I was in elementary school. Throughout my life, I’ve always associated a library or bookstore with peace and quietness. The fact that these places were able to provide that was amazing. Yet, the best part was seeing endless rows of books on just about every topic you could think on. I loved it. Continue Reading

NBA 2K14 Ultimate Base Roster & SweetFX Graphics Mod Downloads

When the NBA All-Star Game was played at Cowboys Stadium in 2010, it was quite the spectacle with a record crowd of 108,713 people to watch the NBA’s best go at it. No other basketball game in history has ever come close to such an audience in the United States. The beautiful thing about the Ultimate Base Roster Mod by HAWK23 is that you can relive that game on the PC version of NBA 2K14. Included in the mod is a special All-Star rosters file that will allow you to replay any NBA All-Star game from 1975 through the present.

My Early Impressions of Shin Megami Tensei V

My first Shin Megami Tensei experience has come in the form of Shin Megami Tensei V on Nintendo Switch.

There seems to be an overabundance of video games out there that have a significant focus on demons, the Netherworld, and hell. I’ve never been one to indulge too much in those types of games. I know part of it stems from my faith in Jesus, but even beyond that, I limit the amount of games I play that have a darker tone. But being that there were so many great things talked about regarding Shin Megami Tensei V and based on how much I respect Atlus as a top Japanese RPG developer, I decided to check the game out and share my impressions here on the site. That’s the purpose of today’s post. Continue Reading
