And a Sony show is probably quite close behind. It’s going to be a month of announcements and reviews. As always, the rumour mill has been working overtime and we have a good idea of some of what we might see over the coming seven days. Naturally, take…

It’s Risky Business Remaking Final Fantasy IX

of FinaOne of the last major titles unveiled in the great Nvidia leak of 2021 is a remake of Final Fantasy IX and all signs are pointing to an imminent announcement. It’s the 25th anniversary and the dedicated website is loaded with new information and art. Almost like there are some major game events in the next week or so. I for one am excited. Although its my least favourite of the VII-X run, it’s such a strong run of…

Bless the Skippable Cutscene

There’s a new pope kicking around, and while I’m sure his schedule is fairly busy I have a request: please bless the skippable cutscene. During his next visit to GamesReviews.com, I’m hoping he sees this and fully understands the absolute sincerity in which I ask this. The skippable cutscene is potentially one of the most beautiful inventions in the modern world. Firstly because it doesn’t require a subscription, but mostly just because of the pure convenience of it all. This…

More Thoughts From Me: Final Fantasy Strangers

I checked out Strangers in Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin over its free weekend on Xbox. I had heard bad things about this for the most part. What did I think of it? Here are my thoughts on Strangers in Paradise. Strangers in Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is a prequel to Final Fantasy 1. And this is very obvious early on in the game, when  Garland (from FF1) appears. Then he’s mentioned. A lot. The four warriors of light legend appear…

Are Games Worth $80? Not a Chance

How much is a game worth to you? I’m not talking a specific game. Not the wishlist, dream game that you’d trade your firstborn for. Just a game. $80? My guess is it isn’t even close. The average gamer isn’t spending anywhere near that much. Maybe a few times a generation or in support of a certain publisher. Perhaps you’ll splurge at Christmas or when a console launches. But those are outliers. Factor in deals, bundles, deep discounts and what…

Grand Theft Auto 4: Lower Your Expectations

Just a few short weeks after we were all bouncing up and down about the Oblivion remaster, a new rumour has sprung up. Rockstar are working on bringing Grand Theft Auto 4 to PlayStation and Switch. That should tell you everything you need to know right there. Skipping Xbox (and PC for now) implies that this is just a straight port, bringing the fourth numbered entry in the legendary franchise to audiences who currently can’t access it. The game is…

Towerborne (Game Preview) Thoughts

I’ve been playing Towerborne’s game preview on Xbox Series a little bit and thought I’d share some thoughts on the game so far. How is Towerborne? Towerborne is a sidescrolling beat ‘em up with rpg elements. You create your character, choose a class and go on missions where you fight enemies in a sidescrolling beat ‘em up fashion. There is a hub world and also a world map. The game has a cartoon-like drawn style to it. It’s a neat…
