Selling me my childhood...again.
I'll admit it. I love being right. Who doesn't? When you're able to make some declaration and then watch as it unfolds as you predicted, there's this feeling like you're somehow cosmically tapped...
Rayman 2 is one of the best video games ever. Not even ever made , just ever. I have very scientific-looking charts and graphs and statistics and one of those Jacob's Ladder things to back up this...
Take-Two killed Indie Built. The Indie Built name never really resonated much with the general game-buying public, and I personally didn't much care for most of the stuff they did. The...
We were tossing around some of our favorite game-related videos when Justin found this little gem on Kotaku. Despite how gut-wrenchingly bad ET for the 2600 is, the indie popsters in Wintergreen...
The Nintendo Revolution is now the Nintendo Wii. Yeah. We'll get over the stupid name eventually, but damn. That is a stupid, stupid name. UPDATE: I may have been first, but Tim is best .
Though it wasn't quite the three-day points bender I went on last weekend, my 360 was still plenty warm from constant use this weekend. In an effort to both clear out my back catalog of 360 games...
Before coming in to work this morning, I finally perfected the last Grand Prix event in Burnout Revenge. This puts me at 95% completion in the single-player game, with a handful of area-specific...
Today is the centennial anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake . I was actually at Game 3 of the 1989 World Series when the Loma Prieta quake hit, and it was really something incredible....
I originally planned on this be a quick thing about Need for Speed Most Wanted. Dunno how it became so ridiculously verbose. I took last Friday off work for the sole purpose of playing loads and...
Moustaches are like Journey. You start off liking them as a joke but then you’re like, “Hey, these are really good songs.” Then people go, “Are you being ironic?” and you’re all, “I have no...
Why would France put Spyro on a stamp ?
Our review of Guitar Hero is up. I've been a rabid fan of Harmonix since Frequency , but this is by far their best effort to date. Rather than go to the half-dozen or so Halloween parties I...
Uwe Boll is set to make a movie based on the universally reviled Postal series. It's like a perfect storm of utter crap. The end result will be like that movie from In the Mouth of Madness that...
Ryan's St. Patty's highlight: When the rich old gin-blossomed Irishman (Joe Murphy, I kid you not) bought us two bottles of Dom Perignon because he thought our friend Jenn was cute....
New Zelda trailer went up. Eh. It all feels really...generic. The Legend of Zelda has always had a fairly distinct charm, especially Wind Waker. Now it just looks like The Lord of the Rings....
The PSP launch is frightfully close, and the launch lineup is dauntingly massive. What could possibly evoke so many adverbs? Well, there are around 20 games coming out on the day of the launch,...
Tekken 5 is absolutely delightful. Top to bottom, it brings back all of the excitement that Tekken 3 incited, hitting all the same high notes. There is no better-looking fighting game on the...
Valentine's Day is for girls. I don't mean this in a disparaging way, it's just true. With an obsessive concentration on flowers, hearts, and anything pink, the only reason guys get involved at...
You'll undoubtedly hear more from me about this come Monday, but I'd like to get this off my chest right now: Katamari Damacy is one of the most refreshingly enjoyable video games I have played in...
I was actually really incredulous when I saw a little corner of Capcom's E3 booth filled with cell phone game stuff. This was back in 2001 I think, and I remember thinking that it was really...
