Best Nintendo Switch Games Coming Out in 2018
The new era of gaming is here: meet the Nintendo Switch, a form of the PSP well beyond its time, which takes portable gaming to a whole new and more exciting realm of playability and functionality. Nintendo's handheld console, coined the Switch, gives players the ability to enjoy their berth of amazing gaming titles either on their TV screen or through the console's own immersive portability. While the Switch may not be the first (or last) of handheld video game iterations, it's certainly one of the very best that's come out thus far.

Worst Superhero Video Games Ever Made
The all-too familiar genre of movie tie-ins never make it big on the market. Plus, in all likelihood, it's safe to say that the developers behind these god awful superhero video games weren't even trying, or paying attention to what they were modeling. It's sad, too, when you have truly memorable franchise titles like Spawn, X-Men, and even Superman to look at with ever growing disinterest.

2,000 Years of 'Final Fantasy'
Today I beat the first Final Fantasy (FF) game—albeit in the re-released Final Fantasy Origins for PlayStation 1 (PS1) format—and I feel accomplished. It's weird, I didn't really benefit anything from this, I am no closer to owning my dream computer, my wallet is not a nanometer thicker, and—at least for the time being—I've made no new social connections due to this. Yet, for whatever reason, finishing that game, reaching that all too distant credits screen, really filled me with joy.

The 5 Greatest Video Game Flops of 2017
With a selection of some of the best quality games in over a decade, 2017 was a year to remember for gaming fans. However, for every Breath of the Wild and Wolfenstein II there is an equally popular game that just didn't quite make the cut. Lets take a look at some of the biggest screw-ups of 2017.

Best Gifts for Your Gamer Boyfriend
It's not easy picking out gifts for your gamer boyfriend, even if you're a gamer yourself. They're expensive, tend to last a short while before being ignored, and often just take up space on your energy bill. Fortunately, I've designed one of the most intricate lists for your boyfriend's benefit.

'Resident Evil 2' PS1 Review
Nearly a year ago I said to myself, in a passing moment of genius or idiocy, that it would be a brilliant idea to sit down and play games that were released exactly 20 years ago, for a few hours, and then post online about my experiences with these games. This initially led me down a dark path, with 2017 being an overly busy year I experienced only a handful of my intended games—Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, Spawn: The Eternal and Fallout—and that handful left me utterly disappointed.

'Dissidia NT': Review
If you've ever played a Final Fantasy game, then there is no doubt that you must have experienced its incredible charm. Was the first Final Fantasy that drew you in from the start, or was it Final Fantasy VII's unforgettable story that still weighs heavy in the hearts of fans? Maybe it was the recently released Final Fantasy XV that introduced you to the famous franchise. Whichever game you started with, they all come together in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT.

'Spawn: The Eternal' PS1 Review
Some months ago, I visited our local gaming and movies resale store in search of a set of video games from a particular period. The goal was simple: experience a couple games per month from 20 years ago and write a review on them. My results weren't as great as one might have hoped. Between working full-time, planning out of country trips, and trying to maintain my social life, my pickings for 1997 were slim. I did, however, manage to play a few games.

'Persona 5' Overview
Let’s talk for a second about one my favorite games ever, Persona 5. Let me just start off by saying that just because you haven’t played another Persona game, doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy Persona 5, as their stories are individual but share the same gameplay elements. Persona 5 brings new things to the table and perfects old formulas to make an experience gamers will never forget. If you’re like me and are an avid RPG gamer, Persona 5 is a must-have for you. I highly encourage you to pick it up if you haven’t already done so. I’ll keep this as spoiler free as possible.

'King's Field: The Ancient City'
The Ancient City is the third 'King’s Field' we received in North America. It was produced by From Software in 2001, but released by Agetec to America in 2002. I have never played the original King's Field, which to my knowledge was only released in Japan, but I have played the North American one and two releases on Play Station, and they are some of the best first person, hack and slash, fantasy games ever, yet they pale in comparison to The Ancient City.
