Back in 1997, my family acquired a PlayStation and it came with a disc that had a demo for this game called Final Fantasy VII. I had some cursory knowledge of the franchise but didn’t have any experience with it at that time as I really didn’t care for role-playing games as a young child.…
Patapon 2 Remastered is one of the latest games to hit the PlayStation 4 in remastered form and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Back in the day on the PlayStation Portable, I had a tremendous amount of fun with this series. It is a rhythm action game that can easily get stuck…

Horizon Zero Dawn was released earlier this year on PlayStation 4 and was an absolute masterpiece. It is going to be in the game of the year discussions for sure and now there is some more content for you to sink your teeth into. Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds adds on another area to…
I didn’t know if I was ever going to get to play Knack 2. The original was a launch title for the PlayStation 4 and while it was a good game, it met with a somewhat mixed reception. While I personally enjoyed the original Knack I feel like Knack 2 improves upon it in pretty…
