hope this is not breaking any rules; my friend and i run a website in which we write “creative writing” essays on video games we play. we make no money on this and never plan to, it’s purely passion projects, but we do put a lot of work into them. the most recent essay is comparing Metal Gear for MSX to the OJ Simpson Trial, but we also have a number of essays on:
Dragon Quest Monsters I (explores vegan concepts)
Final Fantasy Legend (origin of the SaGa series)
Final Fantasy Legend II (traditional analysis)
Final Fantasy Legend III (explores time travel)
Final Fantasy XII (traditional analysis)
Final Fantasy XVI (analysis + comparison to movie The Seventh Seal)
Infinite Space ("being in love with an idea)
Landstalker (“mood time and place” + analysis)
Metal Gear (comparision to OJ Simpson Trial)
Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It’s Dark Outside (biographical essay)
Popful Mail (traditional analysis)
Romancing SaGa (critique on the “games collector” and “retro gaming” communities, + analysis of the game)
Shiren the Wanderer 5 (History of the Japanese Tanuki + comparison to the game)
Tactics Ogre (essay on the themes of the game)
Xenosaga (philosophical essay with a lot of footnotes, Infinite Jest?)
Xenosaga II (philosophy + analysis of the game)
