]]>The iconic Game Boy was always going to be a tough act to follow, but with the Nintendo DS, Nintendo managed to make a system just as innovative and exciting.
]]>It was February, 1996. A coke-filled, overweight 13-year-old me was reading about CES in issue 148 of CVG and salivating over the ultra-positive review of Sonic 3. CVG gave out some high scores, but a 94 was pretty exciting for a SEGA boy like me. What a life I’d have as a games journalist, I thought to myself. Not high on drugs, just full of the hope only a child can possess. I would make this dream a reality and live like a king, never having to buy a video game again.
]]>It was 4:45 pm on Tuesday. The moon was visible in the blue sky, motionless and distant but looming large. Like an egg in the ocean, that you happened to be viewing through some binoculars you accidentally had the wrong way round. This, I thought, was the world manifesting my brain’s turmoil. My noggin had stopped working and the spectre of the impending deadline was high in my mind. What is a person to do when tasked with a near-impossible question? Was I forever doomed to see the world through reverse-binocular vision? I just had to think of a game I wanted as a child but didn’t get. Find out if I answered this question in the VG247 The Best Games Ever Podcast, episode 7.
]]>The amount of video games with soundtracks that slap is immense, and the list continues to grow, with new classics like Baldur's Gate 3 joining an already stacked lineup. From atmospheric melodies to synthwave sounds and beyond, it can be quite whimsical how some of the best video game soundtracks will often have you feeling affectionately towards genres of music or specific songs that you may have never given a second thought to otherwise.
]]>It's a long holiday weekend for many, and what better way to pass the time than by playing video games?
]]>Some players are reporting that certain PlayStation games like Chrono Cross are "expiring" on PS3 and PlayStation Vita.
]]>At tonight's February 2022 Nintendo Direct , Nintendo and Square Enix announced a Chrono Cross Remaster – in line with the sorts of things we've seen with the re-releases in the Final Fantasy series (most significantly, Final Fantasy 8 Remaster).

]]>Revered as one of the best RPGs of all time, Chrono Trigger’s PC release on Steam hasn’t quite gone to plan, with the game sitting on a “mostly negative” (39% positive) review rating.
]]>Video game re-releases and remasters are a good thing, broadly speaking. If we're going to acknowledge games as an art form, it's important that older works should remain available for newcomers to the medium to discover. This is why I'm impressed with Microsoft's efforts to ensure their older titles are backwards compatible and enhanced on their newer hardware, and why it's important Sony took the time to remake Shadow of the Colossus.
