Like all Americans, I am excited about Black Friday and scoring some sweet deals. However, Xmas came early for me this year as I found some sweet clearance deals at my local Target today. I doubt most gamers would get excited about finding Konami’s New International Track & Field on DS for $4.48, but hey,…

November 8th, 2011.  A day that will live forever in video game history. Why? Because a highly anticipated game based around everything from guns, items, war, stealth, story, and action was released for the first time in all HD glory. Promising hours of nothing but the highest entertainment value, who needs a modern war when…

Alan Wake.  Whether you like it or not, this game deserves more recognition than it received.  Given the long development cycle and 360 exclusivity, Alan Wake isn’t the best game ever made but it certainly is not a bad game.  I enjoyed playing through to the end even though the ending was complete garbage.

I think it is a well-documented fact that I am a huge fan of Snowboard Kids, an N64 sleeper hit.  In many ways, it rivals Mario Kart 64, but this is an argument for another time. A couple months ago, I had incentive to dig out my N64, find my controller paks and extra controllers…

    Whenever a new handheld or console launches, there is always a flood of 3rd party peripherals and accessories that release with it. This category of gaming extras didn’t really start to peak until the GBA era and started to gain a lot of steam in the later GBC days.  Blame it on the…

Nintendo has launched their Virtual Console service on the 3DS, allowing gamers to replay games from the original Gameboy and Gameboy Color eras.  Despite still being very young, Nintendo has launched their handheld Virtual Console service well by choosing high quality games of the past. Original Gameboy’s Donkey Kong, Tennis, Game & Watch Gallery 1,…
