The Gaming Historian uncovers some frightening games, including 3D Monster Maze and Resident Evil.

Join Norm, The Gaming Historian on a magical journey through his basement / game room! What crazy things will we find?

Welcome to an all-new series, Games You Must Play, featuring myself (Norm, Gaming Historian) and Joe (The Backlog). Our first episode looks at Final Fantasy Tactics on the Playstation! Final Fantasy Tactics takes all the mythos of the series you love and turns it into one of the finest tactical RPGs ever made. With an amazing soundtrack, compelling story, and tons of customization for your party, this is a must play game for the Playstation.

Tecmo Super Bowl is one of the greatest sports games ever made. It had features that revolutionized the genre, including accurate rosters, teams, playbooks, and more. The game is still a blast to play, 23 years later.

Shovel Knight is a rock-solid game that wears its heart on its sleeve. The game features some of the finest elements of the platforming genre, as well as a beautiful retro aesthetic. Yacht Club Games did a phenomenal job of creating a game that would feel right at home on the NES.

inFAMOUS Second Son helped usher in the PlayStation 4 and did so with style. The game grabs you from the word go with the incredibly well-acted and well-produced story sequences and doesn't back down, letting you and your superpowers run free around a beautifully realized Seattle. Like any game released early in a system's life Second Son has its flaws, but the hits more than make up for the misses and you'll be having too much fun following Delsin's story to worry about much else.

After 7 years, Gaming Historian has reached the milestone of 100,000 subscribers. To commemorate this event, I present to you the tale of me (Norman), and my show. Enjoy.

I'll be at SGC July 17-19, as well as ConBravo July 24-26th. Come say hi!
