So back when I was a young kid, before I was big into fighting games, me and my brothers only had two options of games to play. We had either Street Fighter II, and Mortal Kombat: Deception. And looking back… yeah, Street Fighter II held up way better. But we still loved Mortal Kombat. We loved the characters (That weren’t new to Deception anyway, except Kenshi), we loved the brutal finishers, and we loved the world of Mortal Kombat so much. I just wish it was more refined. And then Netherrealm Studios happened.
Mortal Kombat 9 (I know it’s just called Mortal Kombat, but screw that noise) takes place in an alternate world after the death of all the other Mortal Kombat characters starting from the first three games, with Raiden given a hint, the most vague hint in the world, in order to stop Shao Kahn from taking over Earthrealm through the Mortal Kombat tournament. First off, an actual story mode. In previous games, you had these weird Quest Modes that weren’t really fighting game story modes, just weird exploration mini-games with some fighting game missions there. But here, you get a full story, a goofy one, but fun nonetheless, all mixed with a ton of fighting game challenges for you to complete. The game feels so much nicer to play now. I remember me and my brothers playing the hell out of this game when it got released. My mains were always Ermac, Jax, and Scorpion because hell demons are better than ice ninjas, fucking fight me. Seeing the story unfold as beloved characters died left and right was shocking to see, and seeing what sort of twist would happen as a result of bad hints by future Raiden was both dumb and funny. And then there’s Shao Kahn, the final boss. This son of a bitch bastard was such a pain in the ass for me and my brother, who was way better at this game than I was. Seriously, fuck you Shao Kahn. The game also introduces something new to Mortal Kombat that it seems to have run with since. X-Ray moves, moves that were super satisfying, brutal, and a lot of fun to watch, where you just mess up the character in slow, violent fashion. These could count as fatalities, really. Oh, and this game also had some of the best fatalities in the franchise at the time, even bringing back classic ones from the original games
Mortal Kombat 9 (Still not calling it Mortal Kombat) was a refreshing game to play. It brought back the characters I have nostalgia over from my childhood (I had a weird childhood), and made them better, as well as enhancing the gameplay by a mile. I don’t know about you, but I am damn excited to see what Mortal Kombat 11 has in store.
I did say that the first Devil May Cry wouldn’t be the last game in the franchise I spoke about on here. And what better game to continue talking about from the franchise than the very first Devil May Cry I talked about. And boy, did I remember hating this game when I first played it, but please let me explain.
So when I first bought this game along with the first Dead Rising game, I was excited, cause I only heard good things about Devil May Cry and Dante and all that, and when I got around to play the game, and was introduced to Nero, I thought, “Who the fuck is this asshole” and...
Let’s talk edgy for a second. When something gets remade to a more edgy thing, people usually hate it. Man of Steel was edgier Superman, and people hated it. Bomberman Act Zero was edgier Bomberman, and people hated it. DMC: Devil May Cry was edgier Devil May Cry, and it was still better than Devil May Cry 2, but people still hated it. But there is a case when edgier, or in this case, darker, can be better. And that brings us to Twisted Metal: Black.
I never found joy in the older Twisted Metal games. Granted, I only played 1 and 4, and thought they weren’t too fun. But when I got...
So, playing Street Fighter II in the arcades, sickest thing in the world. Tossing in quarters and beating everyone else who thought they were hot shit in Street Fighter was the most fun. But I always wanted more from Street Fighter II. And Street Fighter III: Third Strike feels better, but I have sadly not played enough of that game to have it on the list. But, I do have something just as good as Third Strike? Is it better, I dunno, but damn, is it good.
My older brother, when he was tired of his 360 and passed it down to me, didn’t tell me that inside of it was a digital download of...
Wow, what a heel turn, am I right? I made an article a few months back talking shit about David Cage and his games, and yet I start this whole event off with a David Cage game. But before I shoot myself in the balls, let’s talk about this. It has been five years since I first joined this website, and I am still going strong today. And so, to celebrate five years of being here, I want to make this series, giving a sort of review, or more rather, a list of my top 100 favorite games ever. Of all time. And we are starting with Detroit: Become Human… A David Cage game… All credibility...
You know what trend I’m getting kinda tired of? The whole “Princess has been kidnapped, go save her”. I’m not an extremist feminist, but the whole princess thing is kinda getting old. So, naturally, I felt the best thing to do was to make a list of the top ten best. So, the rules for this list are as followed. Only from games that I have played, and only one game per franchise. So, with all of that said and done, let us start the list
#10: Princess Daphne from Dragon’s Lair
Okay…….. This is a bit hard to get behind. What, in the name of god, is this princess wearing. I mean…...

Alright, everyone, after getting a feel for the game and after being able to experience it at my own friends home, and after hundreds of Youtubers have played it, and after many old fans are still angry over it despite them wanting the franchise to go back to their horror roots, I will be talking about Capcom’s new horror game. It may have taken a long time to get to it, and it may have made people saltier than the Pacific Ocean, but it’s finally time I talk about this game. Let us all take a look at the return to horror game, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
So as you can see, this game...

I remember when I was a kid, my older brother had the original Animal Crossing on the Gamecube, and I thought it looked like a babies toy. What is this? This ain’t Smash Melee. Get this outta my face. But now, as someone who got to experience the joy through Animal Crossing: New Leaf, I now understand perfectly. Oh, and also, yes, I did search up Animal Crossing porn for that joke. And it sure as shit wasn’t worth it.
Animal Crossing New Leaf follows the villager, you, as he goes to whatever town you want to call it. Call it Bonerland, call it Fortnite, call it Yabba-Dab, whatever....
So I played the original NieR some time ago. I liked what I did play, but never got to experience it enough to form a definitive opinion, but man, was that combat not the best. If it was just a little refined, I could like it more… And then Platinum Games came along. And that’s the transition to start talking about NieR: Automata.
So, when it came to the top ten, I thought it would be hard for any game to just break the top ten so easily. Most of my top ten favorite games are games I have cherished memories with. But NieR: Automata, I have no nostalgia for, and yet it managed to break...
