In this Xenogears review, SuperDerek examines the PlayStation classic, Xenogears! Xenogears on PlayStation is one of the best JRPGs on the PlayStation made by SquareSoft, but is deeply flawed in its pacing. But Xenogears remains a wonder PS1 RPG!

Kingdom Hearts 2 is what solidified the series as a top-tier Action RPG series!
Welcome back to The Game Collection! I am SuperDerek, and this is Kingdom Hearts 2!
Kingdom Hearts 2 is in my mind, legendary, in the realm of PlayStation 2 Action RPGs. It's what essentially cemented the Kingdom Hearts series in my mind as a top-tier Action RPG series against which I would measure Action RPGs for years to come. But it's also the first game in the series I played that helped me realize that there's also a big problem in the Kingdom Hearts series.
In Kingdom Hearts, the story picks up with our hero Roxas, wait, what happened to Sora?! Who's this Roxas guy? Well, whatever. The game starts up with our hero Roxas living out his life as an average adolescent enjoying his carefree summer-vacation. This proves to be more difficult to do than expected between summer jobs, last-minute homework assignments, and oh yeah, a bunch of silver Nobodies all over the place causing mayhem. Well, to cut a long story short after winning a struggle tournament, it's revealed that it was all basically a long tutorial for the real meat of the game where you DO play as Sora. But who was that Roxas kid and where did he come from?
This is just one of many questions that Kingdom Hearts 2 raised for players like me, who at the time didn't feel like playing a Gameboy Advance version of Kingdom Hearts, or simply didn't have a Gameboy Advance on which to play. Sure, we all sort of know now, more or less, that there was a game that occurred between Kingdom hearts 1 and 2, and that for whatever reason it was regarded as canon, but needless to say, it was simply one of many reasons that Kingdom Hearts has built up a name for itself as being hard to follow, and confusing.
In Kingdom Hearts 2, the gist of the story is you're still playing as Sora, who is trying to track down his friends Riku and Kairi, while at the same time trying to save the world from the Heartless, and now these new fiends, the Nobodies. And to make matters worse, Sora is starting to bump into hooded figures known as Organization 13. And they all seem to have a bone to pick with Sora. Who is Organization 13? And what do they want with Sora? These are more questions that Kingdom Hearts 2 will never really fill you in on, by itself.

Super Derek returns to an old favorite for the SNES, Breath of Fire! This game is a classic that deserves your time and attention! I tried shooting this video a bit differently this time, and would really appreciate your feedback in the comments!

You could say I’ve been looking forward to reviewing this game for a while. And after playing through Hydlide, I felt like I deserved a little bit of a reward. Breath of Fire was another one of those games I found a long time ago when I was looking to scratch that RPG itch after playing EarthBound. It’s kind of funny. Lufia left me feeling burned, but Breath of Fire was a breath of fresh air.
Before I get into this though I should mention that because I played this game early on, I may be a bit biased in favor of this game because to be honest, the nostalgia factor is in full force, despite my best efforts to remain impartial. But even for those without some history with the franchise, I know that this game will appeal to a lot of you.
Breath of Fire was the first RPG ever developed by Capcom, the company famous for Street Fighter and Mega Man. The game was released for the Super Famicom in April of 1993. Because Capcom hadn’t really dealt much with text-heavy localizations of this magnitude, they handed the game translation and promotion over to none other than SquareSoft.
Due to character limitations of item and character names that couldn’t be overcome, a lot of the text in the game is abbreviated, which can make for some confusing moments. But fortunately this seldom affects gameplay.
