  Se c'è stata una costante nella mia vita sono stati i videogiochi . Ancora adesso sono l’hobby a cui mi dedico maggiormente e che voglio continuare ad esplorare, scoprire apprezzamenti per nuovi generi e nuovi creatori, che siano scrittori, designer, musicisti o artisti. Ed è per questo che ho deciso di iniziare questa piccola rubrica dove ripercorro la mia esperienza videoludica, parlare dei videogiochi che più mi sono rimasti impressi . E nonostante non voglia andare in ordine cronologico, ho ritenuto importante partire dal principio . VI RICORDATE IL VOSTRO PRIMO VIDEOGIOCO? Io in realtà non sono sicuro, stando ai miei genitori il mio primissimo approccio con un videogioco è stato il Commodore Vic-20 , ma non ho mantenuto alcun ricordo. Ciò che ricordo distintamente però è mio padre arrivare a casa un giorno con una scatola contenente un Super Nintendo , due joypad e una copia di Super Mario World . Super Mario è un personaggio che non ha bisogno di presentazioni, da sempre l...

This is why I decided to create this little column where I go on a walk through the memory lane of my videogame experience, talking about the games that have been the most impactful for me. And despite the fact that I don’t want this column to follow any sort of chronological order, I thought it was important for me to start from the beginning . DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST VIDEOGAME? I’m not really that sure, according to my parents my first ever approach with a videogame was with the Commodore Vic-20 , but I haven’t retained any memory about it. What I distinctly remember though was when my father came back home with a box, holding a Super Nintendo , two controllers and a pack-in copy of Super Mario World . Super Mario is a charac...

The first season of Castlevania Nocturne ended up becoming one of my favourite seasons in the history of Netflix Castlevania. Great atmosphere, themes in the forefront that were handled very well and strong depiction for all the characters involved. It was very dreary and clearly a lot of setup for the second season, but still very good, and now that the second season is finally out, it’s time to ask ourselves one question. Is this a good payoff for the story? Castlevania Nocturne Season 2 About the Plot It might sound rather obvious, but if you haven’t watched the first season stop reading at this point because I’m gonna spoil a lot of what happened, you’ve been warned. The story begins immediately after the ending of the first season: Machecoul has fallen under Erzsebet thanks to the power she inherited from the goddess Sekhmet , Tera has been turned into a vampire and Alucard came in the time of need to save our heroes from Drolta, killing her off in the process. Alucard explains...
