Well then, this game certainly came completely out of left field. There have been quite a few times where the games that shake me to my core are the last that I expect. When it comes to indie gaming, there will be plenty of cases of dark, horror masterpieces like Mouthwashing or MyHouse.wad getting the …

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation is in a bit of an awkward position when it comes to the Dragon Quest series. While it is a solid JRPG in its own right, it has the unfortunate distinction as the first in the series to be a step down from the previous entry. In short, Dragon …
