'Dragon Quest XI'
Dragon Quest XI, what could one say about one of the best games in the franchise other than the fact that it is the longest in the entire history of the Dragon Quest-verse. However, I can say that I clearly underestimated how long this game was which, if we’re being honest here, is a big mistake to any gamer considering that every Dragon Quest game is long.

5 Pokemon Gimmicks That Didn't Stick
A lot of people don't realize, but the Pokemon franchise was actually revolutionary when it first made waves in the gaming industry, not necessarily in sales (though those were pretty good, I suppose), but in the way it used technology and developed the mechanics of RPGs. Through the ways that players could exchange Pokemon across link cable, the link cable, and multiplayer in general, saw new uses as more than a way to experience co-op gameplay. Also, the sheer number of playable characters that players had at their disposal, in the form of Pokemon, set Pokemon apart from many other RPG franchises of its era.

13 Years of Playing 'Runescape' - Part 1
My story begins when I was around 9. I still remember the horrid day at primary school that I was having. I had been told off for speaking whilst the teacher was and made to sit at a particular table that was for "naughty" children. However, fate had it that I would be placed in that exact spot on that very day, because if I had not been sitting there then I would not have overheard a particular conversation.

'Until Dawn' - The Game of Logic
Normally I'm not one for video games. Now, hear me out everyone, that was the few years ago me. I mean, I wasn't a gamer. Then, like the person I am, I got into a TV series that you may or may not have heard of, it's Mr. Robot. You know, Rami Malek stars as Elliot Alderson. That's the thing though, I was SUPER into Mr. Robot, my older brother was telling me about a game released back in 2015 called Until Dawn. He told me that it had a lot of great voice actors and actresses, in particular, Rami Malek, I was immediately excited to play it.

'The Elder Scrolls VI'
Game Synopsis: Open world, one-player, RPG A Brief History of Elder Scrolls The Elder Scrolls originally came from a 1990s PC video game design, called Arena, for Medieval Gladiator tournament fighting to become Grand Champion. During development of Arena, some side quests were added, as well as RPG elements, locations with cities and dungeons that were separate from Arena Tournaments. The emphasis began to come away from the original design concept. Which tends to be pretty normal when you get a bunch of game designers together!
