The official Anthrax Web site is reporting that "Madhouse," from the 1985 Anthrax album Spreading the Disease , will be part of the Guitar Hero II track list. This is a terrible choice by... Ramble Ramble Ramble
I shouldn't write a blog entry when I haven't slept. I tend to ramble, as seen in the previous entry. In short, find or hold onto your copy of Street Fighter Collection 2 for the original... We'll Always Have Street Fighter Collection 2
Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting for Xbox Live Arcade is a less than arcade-perfect version of Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting. The game runs faster than the arcade original. Some sound... Mario Made Me a Basketball Fan
I have little interest in basketball and no interest in sports video games, but something about the not yet released Mario Hoops 3 on 3 has my interest. It must be the insanity of the game. Mario... The Lost Art of Making a Good Tetris Game

I resisted re-posting my Pick 5... games you have in your collection because you think it makes you cool  here. It seemed pointless; anyone who wanted to read it could read it on the feature... The Wait for Lite
Nintendo and unnamed Internet retailer, why must you torture me? I have been the proud owner of five Nintendo DS games for about three weeks now, but I haven't had a Nintendo DS to play them on.... Precursor to the Dean Scream
This is only loosely related to games, but I have to get it out of my head. Remember, in February 2004, right after the Iowa Democratic Presidential Caucus, when Howard Dean gave his victory... The Death of Fighting Games
