I have been waiting a long time for a “Tales of” game to come to the Switch. It always seemed like a great fit and I knew it was only a matter of time. My first introduction to a Tales of game was back in the Game Cube days. I remember that I had some extra Christmas money to blow and I decided to take a chance on Tales of Symphonia, which ended up paying off. I loved the art direction, the combat, and the Saturday morning style story. It was just a really fun, low stakes, game to play when you have nothing better to do. I had been in a mood to play these games again, and almost […]

Because games continue to get pushed towards the end of the year, I felt like I needed to give this some time. This has been a pretty great year when it comes to gaming. A ton of publishers have let their talents shine and some of the greatest games in a life time were made this year. This list are some of the games that made an impact on me this year, and though I wish I could write about all of the great ones, time is a factor and I would like to get some rest. Here are my top 10! 10. Monster Hunter World This was the first game in the series that I actually played. Though the […]

Hello everyone! I just wanted to take a quick moment and thank everyone for the support. Since its inception, True Video Games has been a way to let loose and just write about things that I am passionate about. To be honest, I wasn’t even sure if anyone would actually read it. I figured that this would just be a way for me to just write some things down, work on some of my writing skills, and at least say that I started my own website. However, the community has been pretty great and each one of you have given me some great ideas and some wonderful tips that I can continue to work on. So to all of you, […]

Though this is a video game blog, I feel like its necessary that I share something really special that happened today… A while back I wrote about various charities and what they are all about. At the end of the post I made reference to an organization that I am currently part of. This organization is all about veterans helping veterans in need, however once a year we get together and try to give to back to our community. Around Christmas, we strap 35lbs ruck sacks to our backs, full of toys and much needed cheer for children at a local children’s hospital. The day before, we got together in a members garage and started sorting all of the wonderful […]

It has been quite some time since my last post. Honestly, life has been a bit of a roller coaster this month and finding time to actually sit down and write has been a bit of a challenge. I would like to think that I have a handle on this whole adult thing, but we are all just flying by the seat of our pants. I had a wedding anniversary at the beginning of the month, which due to poor planning caused us to abandon our first five ideas and eventually land on a beach vacation for a few days. It ended up being a pretty great trip and I was able to try out the new Halo arcade game. […]

As reported by Takashi Mochizuki of The Wall Street Journal Japan, Nintendo is currently planning on releasing a new version of the Nintedo Switch by as early as Summer 2019. The reason for the sudden console upgrade comes down to money…and how much they love it. Sources from Nintendo told Mochizuki that they want to continue to see their revenue from consoles to stay where they are at, and therefore release another console for millions of us to buy. So far, not a whole lot is being push out other then the basics. They want to have upgraded hardware and software, as well as an upgrade display from the original “low-end” LCD screen. Personally, this pisses me off. It is […]
