It's nice to see a renowned manga artist get back to his roots and embark on a simple project for old time's sake. What is most amusing is that sometimes these artists end up biting off more...

For some time now, it has been apparent that game publishers often treat their potential customers much better than they treat their paying customers. A perfect example of this is DRM, or "Digital...
First of all, I want to straighten out that whole Final Fantasy 13 thing... Apparently it was an IGN joke of some kind. I just though I'd clue you all in, just in case I might have caused some...
I just saw some "localized" footage of Final Fantasy XIII, and I must say I'm disappointed. I don't mind a little swearing in my books, movies and video games. In fact, often times the use of...
Ah...I just got back from my last final exam. As of today at noon, I am a free man. No more tests, no more quizzes, no more exams, no more assignments. This is it; I am now officially a university...
I have finally tracked down and purchased a non-bundle PS2 console. Sadly it is silver...and the controller looks...weird...in silver, but it will have to do. As for size, I truly am surprised...
Some of us, myself included, believe that it's not just about the game. The game manual is an often overlooked piece of memorabilia. Have you never looked through a good game manual to remember an...
What can I say, when I see an opportunity like this, I bite. As you may have heard, Sony will be dropping the price tag of the PS2 to $99.99; a very nice number indeed. As I have no DVD player to...

Well, I think it's a question that's worth asking. What makes an RPG a RPG? Is it the fact that you can level up your character(s), or has it something to do with the structure of the adventure?...
If anybody is interested, my review for De Blob is posted here. Most of my reviews are actually going to be posted on that website from now on. ( Nintendowired.com ) Any and all criticism and...
Who wouldn't want to play a game where you control a tarantula or a scorpion? (Both of which animate realistically!) I just got my copy of Deadly Creatures yesterday morning and I've had a...
I'm going to start this with a simple math skill question, not quite like the ones on the back of some lottery tickets. (Backwards Compatibility + Used Games Market) X (The Internet) =...
Well, I just pre-ordered my copy of Deadly Creatures . I really want to experience this game with as little expectations as possible. I don't want to read about all its "potential" flaws in...
It's not easy to find a clear-cut algorithmical method for reviewing games. Often times, reviewers concentrate on the obvious and strong characteristics of a title, forgetting all about the...
I sure am glad to finally be on my holiday break. It wasn't a particularly challenging semester, but it's getting old. I'm proud to say that I have only one more semester to go until I finally get...
Ah...those were the days... It seems like every generation my game library becomes substantially larger than it was for the previous console generation. In addition to that, I seem to spend...
