"Doom was a new experience for me. I would consider myself a video game connoisseur. But the Doom franchise has eluded me to this point — a Doom noob for all intents and purposes. But here comes Doom: The Dark Ages. What an experience it is."

"Just thinking of gaming in the year 2015 just makes it feel like it was yesterday, doesn’t it? If so, prepare to re-live some decade-old nostalgia because here are my selections for five video games turning 10 years old this year."

Written, narrated and edited by Francis Parco.

"We’re currently in a generation where it’s possible for long forgotten franchises to come back from the dead. Franchises such as Dead Rising, Metroid Prime, and Dead Space just to name a few, have been given new life in the form of a remaster or a full-blown remake. However, whereas titles like those are deserving of more entries, there are some franchises that many believe have ran their course and should be allowed to rest."

Written and narrated by Sam Flanagan, edited by Francis Parco.

But while such titles will arrive later on, how about we, in the meantime, go back 20 years to a very different time in video games history?
