The year is 1917; the Captain is dead. 30 years ago, the Captain led New London from the brink of extinction to a calm — if cold — existence. Eventually, survival became a given, not a gift, and the people quietly basked in the warmth and safety of their metropolis.

Video games are great for a lot of reasons—too many to count, really. One of the greatest reasons, arguably, however, is that they let us experience things that we otherwise wouldn’t be able to in our own day-to-day lives. Otherworldy adventures, pulse-pounding battles, high-stakes plots, and more—more often than not, it’s the job of the video game to let us experience new and exciting things.

I’m sure that most of you reading, for one reason or another, are already aware of how infamous the Zelda CD-i games are—specifically The Wand of Gamelon and The Faces of Evil. Regardless of whether you loved or hated these games, there’s no arguing that they’ve firmly cemented themselves as a part of gaming history. Unfortunately, they’re a part of gaming history that no one really wants to touch because these games are bad. Like, really bad.

Dragon’s Dogma will always hold a special place in my heart. When it was released back in 2012, it may have lacked the sheer scope of something like Skyrim, or the laser-sharp focus of Dark Souls, but it compensated by providing players with a weird and wonderful sandbox that provided incredibly immersive adventuring through its emergent, unscripted moments and battles. There was truly nothing else like it on the market at the time, and I loved it for that.

While it may not have been the first survival horror title to emerge from the shadows—that distinction would go to EA and Dynamix’s Project Firestart— 1992’s Alone in the Dark undeniably laid the foundation for what the genre would become.

Vanillaware’s last game, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, had one of my favorite stories of any game in the last decade, but that’s a bit of an outlier in their history. While most of their games have offered decent stories that often feature frequent characters, they’ve usually been more known for their excellent gameplay and killer style.

The Star Wars Battlefront games were some of the most fun games in the PlayStation 2 era, and fans have been waiting for a great remake or port after EA fumbled the bag with the 2017 remake. Developer Aspyr, the people behind the recent Tomb Raider remasters, has taken it upon themselves to port the original two Battlefront titles from the early 2000s into the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection.
