Today on Dragon Quest V: Our hero goes on a quest for rings so that he can get married. But to who?

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, Part 3 - The Gulag Archipelago

 

Today on DQV: The Gulag. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn would be horrified.

Highlander 4x03 - The Innocent

 

This episode deals with something no other episodes dare touch on: What would happen if an immortal were special needs? An episode that probably wouldn't be made today, it's kind of sad and unhappy but I'll make the most of it. Let's goooo.

Vanquish (PS3, 2010)

 

Fantastic Sega game here that really came out of nowhere. It's like Gears of War except fast-paced, and it's a blast. Surprised this never got any kind of a sequel, or even that much notoriety for that matter.

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, Part 2 - Faerie Queen

 

Today on Dragon Quest V: A super-eventful part of a super-eventful game. Check out this world map. Looks a bit like DQIV's, with a large inner sea. Pretty sure this game's world is bigger though.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (PS3, 2010)

 

Another PS3 game that later got a PS4 re-release. This one is especially welcome because the first release of the game disappeared off the face of the Earth about seven years ago. Not sure why, but for a long time it just wasn't available anymore. In 2021 it finally saw the light of day again and this time I seized the opportunity.

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (iOS/Android, 2015)

 

Jumping over the Super Famicom release (for the moment). This is the first U.S. release of Dragon Quest V, one of the finest 16-bit RPGs to never get an official port over. Originally this came out on the Nintendo DS in 2009 and I wasn't able to get into it. Got maybe a half hour into the game. Now I'm playing the HD phone version from 2015. With new, crisp graphics, will I get further than a half hour this time?
