Today, Nintendo celebrates a remarkable milestone: Pokémon , the monster-catching adventure RPG, turns 30. Thirty years of exploring worlds, catching creatures, facing God-like beings, confronting shadowy mafias, and even taking on terrorists a franchise that has truly done it all. I wanted to take a moment to look back at some of the stories that have stayed closest to my heart over the years, reflecting on the games that shaped my experiences though I’ll be skipping Generation 4, as it doesn’t hold the same personal connection for me as the others. Pokemon Red: Growing up without much meant I missed out on experiencing Pokémon at the height of its day-one mania. I wasn’t there for the midnight launches or the playground trading frenzies.

The legend of zelda hits a monumental

  Let’s fill our hearts and look back swinging with power, on this monumental gaming anniversary. Everyone seems to have a story about the first time they played The Legend of Zelda . It’s practically a gaming rite of passage. Like many players, my formal introduction to the series came through Ocarina of Time . Yet I vividly remember the moment I first experienced the original the grandfather of Hylian, “definitely-not-an-elf” adventures. My entry point, however, wasn’t an NES or an SNES. It was the Game Boy Advance. Picture it: Christmas morning, the mid-2000s. My grandmother knew I loved video games, even if she didn’t quite know which ones. What she did know was that I “had a Nintendo,” and that was enough. Under the tree were a few new games and among them was the Game Boy Advance re-release of the very first Legend of Zelda . At the time, I didn’t realize I was unwrapping a piece of gaming history. I just knew I was about to begin an adventure, one that, decades later, s...

Just a fan  Last week, Capcom announced an upcoming presentation focused on the Resident Evil franchise.
