A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Best Baseball Game Ever! (This review was originally posted back in early 2005. But now that R.B.I. Baseball ’14 is about to launch, I thought I would repost this review.) Here’s the thing: I have never really liked sports video games. My philosophy is that if I’m going to participate in a sport, I will […]
Zack and Gillman come back this week, all be it a little late, to play a chunk of the mid-game experience that is Mercenary Kings! Gillman recounts that he has no idea what he is doing on grounds that the game has been in pre-release for so long it is impossible to retain any good […]
Stand and Protect – The biggest gimmick behind the Wii U is the tablet-like Gamepad. This special controller is responsible for the majority of the cost of a Wii U so it only makes sense to want to project it. In fact, Nintendo does not even offer replacement/extra Gamepads at retail so keeping this unique […]
Now You Can Hate Yourself All Day! – Giving McDonalds and Burger King a run for their money, Taco Bell has just started to play in the breakfast food category. What exact does this have to do with games, technology, and other geeky stuff? Nothing really, I just wanted an excuse to blog about this […]
Nintendo’s Club Nintendo program just started offering a Yoshi’s New Island t-shirt for 800 Coins. The shirt shows an image of Yoshi flinging a giant egg with Baby Mario on his back and is available in small or large sizes. Like many other Club Nintendo items, this probably won’t last very long so be sure […]
Herding Cats – Skater Cat is not your typical runner. Running into walls, falling on spikes, and even getting hit by enemies does not cause an instant one-hit kill Game Over; the only way to really die is to fall down a hole which causes a full restart. Play control is very easy: the Circle […]
OH MY GOD, THEY MADE A GOOD GAME! With a shaky development history, publisher drama, and numerous delays, it is a wonder how South Park: The Stick of Truth actually found its way onto store shelves. But boy am I glad it did. Not only does this title recreate the look and feel of the […]
An Extended Demo With Tons of Replayability- Starting with the poorly ported NES original, I have been a rabid Metal Gear fan since the inception of the series, playing through every single US released title since. Like the rest of the world, I am anxiously awaiting the Phantom Pain (currently with an unannounced release date) […]
Blending Sudoku, Picross, and Mine Sweeper – Mixing puzzle elements from Picross and Sudoku, Tappingo is a different type of puzzle game that offers a casual but yet refined experience for a low cost. Using the stylus, the goal is to create 8-bit sprites by stringing together tiles in the correct order. Each puzzle has […]
Publisher Marvelous provided a teaser trailer for an English release of Half-Minute Hero 2. This sequel appears to feature the same speedy gameplay that made the original release so endearing and also has multiplayer functionality. This sequel is scheduled for a Steam release. Launch date and pricing are still unknown. The original game was released […]
