On Thursday December 15. 2011 Gamestop had a special holiday sale for Power Up Rewards members – 50% off Gamecube games. This sale was just one of the daily specials they have going on this holiday season. I was probably one of the few to be excited about this promotion as it was my chance…
REVIEW – Sonic CD (XBLA)
A Surprise From The Past This year, Sega has already given us the decent Sonic Generations which mixed classic Sonic with modern Sonic. Even though this was one of the better Sonic games in years it still was missing that 2D pixel-based charm. But in a strange turn of events, Sega has released Sonic CD…

BLOG – Where Have All the XBLA Games Gone?
I love the XBLA. For a fraction of the price of a retail game, Arcade titles can offer just as much entertainment, if not even more so, than games sold at your local store. In fact, developers are willing to take more risks in this market and the result is more unique games. While I…
BLOG – Sony. Corporate Geniuses or Money Grubbing Bullies? Thoughts on Vita’s Memory Card Pricing.
From a business perspective, I can understand why Sony does the things they do. They are Sony after all. But from a consumer point of view, I am… how can I put this, not the biggest fan of Sony’s immoral ways. Besides the retardly high price of the PS3 and PS2 upon launch, Sony also…
REVIEW – Vanguard Bandits (PSN)

REVIEW – GoldenEye 007: Reloaded (PS3)
