A PASSION FOR ALL THINGS GAMES
Atlus is teasing fans with the opening cinematic to the upcoming Etrian Odyssey game. This intro movie was created by MADHOUSE and features some pretty sweet animation and musical soundtrack. Check it out: Millennium Girl will be available on the 3DS on October 1st for $40.
For most American 3DS owners, obtaining new StreePass data can be a challenge. Nintendo’s solution to this is the brand new Relay Point system. After updating to the latest firmware, 3DS owners can connect with other 3DS users via Nintendo Zone locations. How it works is simple: walk by a 3DS Relay Point with your […]
Ending Summer with 150 Coiners- It is the beginning of a new month which means there are 4 new games available through the Club Nintendo program. All the titles this month normally sell for $5 and are offered for 150 Coins. There is also a new Pikmin prize for those with enough coins. Game #1 […]
Solve Problems With Punches – In the early 90’s the brawler genre dominated arcades and home consoles but as gameplay evolved this “punch-everything-and-walk-to-the-right” type of game gave way to First Person Shooters and RPGs. Zeno Clash, and now its sequel Zeno Clash II, are throwbacks to this old brawler genre but integrated with modern gameplay […]
This week me and Gillman stream Dragon’s Crown, an Atlus published beat’em up brawler on PS3 a full week before its retail release. In summary, it is good. Very good. And oh so pretty. Watch as we basically fall more and more in love with the game as we play! Dragon’s Crown is set for […]

However, these precision attacks grow repetitive as each fight against the common enemy is ultimately a battle of patience and repetition. The […]
This week, me and Gillman have a couple more technical difficulties trying to record our stream. But once we get everything up and running, we have a good time playing McPixel… even though we don’t understand it. Watch live video from varms on TwitchTV
Basic Crosswording – As a follow up to 2008’s original Crossword game on DS, Crosswords Plus is basically more of the same. There are hundreds of crossword puzzles each ranging in difficulty from easy to very difficult. Many early puzzles reuse words often; I must have written the word “elf” more times than the Lord […]
Curse This Shmup – Outside the mobile environment, the Shmup is a dying breed. UFO is looking to fill this gap by localizing Mamorukun Curse! to the PSN. Upon starting this Japanese “cute’em up”, I conjured mixed feelings. Thing is, UFO’s track record is pretty terrible thanks to the abysmal Johnny series on the 3DS […]
