Opinions Archive

Over the years we’ve developed a wide array of opinion pieces, and it’s become a little unwieldy to access some of our older pieces.  So, in an attempt to ease that pain, I’ve set up this handy archive.  I’ve decided to index it in two ways, by system and by reviewer.  So, for example, under Wii games, I’ll have, say, A Boy and his Blob while Nester will have Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, and it’ll be split like that.  We’ll start with newer consoles first, and work our way back to the oldies.  The latest opinions will be on the top of each section, as well.  Hope this helps!  Note that there may be spoilers involved in these articles.  I do try to warn of them in my writings, but just keep that in mind when you click on one!
