• Nintendo Switch
Good news: it’s our first Nintendo Switch review! In not so stellar news: I mostly feel the same way about it that other’s do. Super Bomberman R is the first title in seven years to get some form of a physical release, making it seemingly feel like a full, robust game unlike the past downloadable titles that were a core Bomberman experience based around its traditional form, and Bomberman: Act Zero if we’re really going to bring up that game. For the first game in seven years, Super Bomberman R does a lot of things okay, and a lot of other things really, really not-so-well, mostly fumbling in the single player/co-op story and lacking a full bodied multiplayer experience that one would expect from a near full-price physical release.

Konami has announced the cancellation of Silent Hills, the ephemeral new entry in their horror franchise. With it came the takedown of P.T. from the Playstation Store, the removal of the ability to redownload the game for previous owners, and blowback against users attempting to sell PS4s with copies of the game on eBay.
Recently, NBA2K14 had its servers taken down by its publisher. While this is standard business practice for older games, especially sports titles, this one was especially notable because 2K14 was built around online play. Not only were multiplayer options removed, but players’ career modes, characters and single player progress was wiped as well.
In April 2015, the Entertainment Software Association declared that attempts to preserve abandoned games, even by archivists or museums, was illegal, calling it too close to piracy or hacking.
Digital worlds are disappearing. Our history is being erased.

The PSX was undoubtedly a milestone for games. While the Saturn dominated the sprite based scene, and Nintendo set the format for 3D adventure games with Super Mario 64, the Playstation undoubtedly led the charge for 3D videogames. In addition, Sony’s debut console had a huge variety of games in every genre. While I didn’t experience it firsthand, a lot of the titles from that era would go on to become some of my favorites. Here are my top five:
