Review: Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1/PSP)
What’s happening gamers? Today’s game review is Final Fantasy Tactics for the original PlayStation. Final Fantasy Tactics was developed and published by Squaresoft, while in America it was published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Originally released in Japan on June 20, 1997, the game came to American shores on January 28, 1998. Final Fantasy Tactics is a tactical role playing game and the first game to distance itself from it’s original RPG roots featuring a new world, new characters, and more strategic gameplay. An enhanced version of the game known as War of the Lions was released in 2007 on the PlayStation Portable.
The game combines thematic elements of the Final Fantasy series with a game engine and battle system unlike those previously seen in the franchise. This is the first Final Fantasy game to introduce the world of Ivalice, which appears also in Final Fantasy XII and Vagrant Story.
Plot. In a nation known as Ivalice, the people are recovering from the Fifty Year War against Ordalia, and the nobility has abandoned the commoners, labeling them as animals and peasants. Most of the commoners hated the nobles and formed the Death Corps. Meet Ramza Beoulve, a young man from House Beoulve, a noble family with pillars of knighthood. Ramza is a highborn cadet who finds himself in the midst of a military conflict known as the “Lion War” started by Duke Larg and Duke Goltana, who are fighting for the Crown. On the other side is Delita Heiral, an old friend of Ramza who goes his separate way after an arrogant noble, Argath, negligently kills his sister Tietra. When Ramza becomes a mercenary, he discovers that a sinister conspiracy is behind this tragic war.

NEWS: GTA III and Vice City Coming to PSN?
What’s happening gamers and gamerettes? Today’s news involves GTA III and Vice City. Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City are possibly coming to the PlayStation Network on the PS3, and both games have also been rated by the ESRB. However, Rockstar Games has not published a release date just yet.
But the developers of both games have neither denied nor confirmed that both games will have an HD remastering on the PlayStation 3. It is most unlikely that the games will be remastered in HD, but they just might be in the Sony PS2 Classics line of games on the PSN.
Like the PS2 ports, they are both rated M for Mature due to blood, strong violence, strong languages, and sexual content. Games haven’t gotten any family friendly ones over the years.

Review: Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception
What’s happening gamers and gamerettes? Today’s game review is none other than the third installment in the Uncharted series, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. This game was developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment with a release date on November 1st, 2011 on the PlayStation 3. This turns out to be one of my favorite games in the series, and I’m looking forward to playing the PSVita game Uncharted: Golden Abyss, which is a prequel to the trilogy and of what I heard it’s really cool.
This game has received many positive reviews, and to me it is the best in the entire trilogy, and it has even surpassed Tomb Raider in my list of favorite games. This game features new hand-to-hand combat gameplay that reminds me almost in the style of Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain, and also awesome new moves and stealth attacks on enemies, including the return of a multiplayer experience that came in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.
Plot. Nathan “Nate” Drake and Victor Sullivan enter a pub to meet with a man named Talbot, who is interested in purchasing Drake’s ring. But they are fooled with false money from their customer and a brawl ensues, which ends up in an alleyway encountering Charlie Cutter, Talbot’s cohort and Katherine Marlowe, who steals Drake’s ring after shooting both Sully and Drake. But this was a set up by all three as Cutter is a friend of theirs, and a new adventure begins, traveling throughout places such as Rub al Khali desert, in search of the lost city the Iram of the Pillars which is described in the Quran. Chloe Frazier and even Nate’s estranged wife, Elena Fisher also become part of this adventure.

Review: NBA Action 95 (Sega Genesis)
Time running out! Throws up a prayer! IT’S GOOD! What’s happening gamers and gamerettes? Today’s game review in honor of tonight’s NBA Finals game is NBA Action 95 for the Sega Genesis. NBA Action 95 happens to be one of my most favorite NBA games long before NBA Hang Time and the NBA 2K series ever existed. This game was developed by Double Diamond Sports and published by Sega with a release in 1995 on the Sega Genesis. I remember playing this game with my gamer sister and cousins back when I was a kid before the time of PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360.
Since my sister is a lover of basketball, she always played this game and even managed to win the championship in Season Mode. So, in honor of tonight’s possible final game between Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder, it’s time for us to review this game and slam dunk it in there. Whatever team you’re rooting for, good luck tonight.
Gameplay. NBA Action 95 has some of the best gameplay you could ever see. In this game you can play as one of your favorite 28 NBA teams of the NBA Season of 1995, and you can even customize them. You don’t create your own players though, unlike in the EA Sports game, NBA Live. You can take jump shots, slam dunks are usually razzle-dazzle type, and unless you turn the option off, are performed in slow motion.

Review: Knights of the Round (Arcades/SNES/PS2/PSP)
What’s happening gamers and gamerettes? Today’s video game review will be the legendary Capcom game, Knights of the Round (Japanese: ナイツオブザラウンド). Originally released for the Arcades in America on November 17, 1991, two months later in Japan, and then released for the SNES in April 1994. Knights of the Round is an side-scrolling beat ‘em up game loosely based on the legendary King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, and it has a role-playing game-like advancement system, with fighters getting new weapons and armor as they advance throughout the game, the level up system in this game is static.
This classic game was developed and published by Capcom, as well as it is one of it’s challenging games, but nothing compared to their toughest Ghosts ‘N Goblins series. The game was also released on the PSP as part of Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded on March 24, 2006. Prepare to fight for Camelot and the Holy Grail in this review that is Knights of the Round.
Plot. Arthur, who had trained himself hard to become a great knight, pulled out the sacred sword Excalibur from out of the rock. After pulling it out, Arthur realized that it was his destiny to become the first King of the Britons. The wizard Merlin then sends Arthur and his two closest companions, Lancelot and Perceval, to overthrow the evil king Garibaldi and unite of all England.

Review: GoldenEye 007 (Nintendo 64)
Goldeneye 007 was released on January 25, 1997 on the Nintendo 64 by Rareware. This game is considered to be the father of all First Person Shooter games, and the best of them all. In my opinion, games like Call of Duty, Halo, Duke Nukem, Doom, and Quake are NOTHING compared to this epic game of all time. Also this game supported the Rumble Pak, in which you could feel the vibration as if you were firing a real gun. Goldeneye had a Multiplayer mode, in which players could duel against their friends or family members like siblings and cousins.
Plot. This game is mainly based on the 1995 movie of the same name. In the beginning, James Bond is on a mission to destroy a chemical weapons factory in Russia during the time of the Soviet Union, though he is successful, his partner Alec Trevelyan is killed. Nine years later, a new weapon is made by the Russians, it’s named: Goldeneye. This weapon has the power to fire a laser, causing electromagnetic pulse that is capable of destroying everything nearby. Bond is sent to investigate what the criminal organization named Janus is up to, and the leader is none other than his former partner. Now Bond teams up with a computer programmer, and together they will take down Janus.
