'Old-Is-Cool' Game Of The Month [Mar '08]
First of all I must say I'm glad to see that after so many years people are pulling the hair out of the head again playing Contra, since it's among my favorite series. That said I would like...
We all know that movies turned into games are most of the time just piece of crap. If you dare to make a list of these poor-bad-terrible-abysmal games you may never see the sunlight again....
Here is my favourite composition in Hotel Dusk, "Straight Chaser", composed by Satoshi Okubo (and maybe Yuhri Mori too). And that's the way my Izabella sounds... Courtesy of Crate's reverb....
First post in 2008! "New old games", now with more images! In 1994 Nintendo released an accessory that allowed us to play Game Boy games in the SNES; it was called Super Game Boy and it...
To celebrate my first year in Gamespot here are some avatars and blog banners taken from the games I choose as "game of the month" since May 2007. There are also links for the articles and some...
Back in the 90's people who owned the Sega Genesis were proud about a list of great games with the label "Disney" available for them: good ports of Aladdin and Jungle Book (Aladdin much better...
When videogames meet real people! They started speaking about the Sony's software development kit pricedrop, but ended talking about the Nintendo's "wandlike handheld device". Sorry! Here!
This month I'll talk about one of those games that could fit into the smallest portion of memory in one NES cartridge (I think it was 192KB, or something like that), but don't lose its value just...
This one was taken from a DS cartridge instruction booklet: "If you don't have access to the web-site, recorded tips for many titles are available on Nintendo's Power Line at (425) 885-7529. This...
In 1994 a pretty interesting game was released by Capcom bringing great platform action fitted into a catching plot, and it was acclaimed by the critics: Demon's Crest, for the SNES. Unfortunately...
I like to fill my "tracked list" with games not yet released, because I always want to read the reviews when they come out. But since Gamespot has changed the rating system this is all I get:...
More than a decade ago (so now on) Square was the developer leading the way when RPGs were on the spot, and talking about SNES games wasn't different: Final Fantasy series, Breath of Fire, Secret...
My modest tribute to Kinuyo Y. (also known as "James Banana"), composer of the stupendous soundtrack of the first Castlevania game (for the NES, back in 1987). [video=cX01lDOr5b8IuzPZ] "Me and...
Lately I'm seeing a lot of people speculating about how the next Nintendo's handheld should be: MP3 support, HD, USB port, even people that want to take off one of the screens. Maybe the raising...
Smash T.V. was an arcade game released in 1990 by Midway which premise was shooting every moving thing in a TV show scenery, winning prizes like cars, VCRs, or a "luxurious vacation" (here you can...
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm a great Nintendo fan. Really. Since I played Super Mario Bros. for the first time back in 1985 I fell in love by the entire thing, and I'm still here (Atari's 2600 became...
Assuming that an ordinary videogame player has not that athletic silhouette, this time I thought about suggesting a sports game; that's the least we can do. And to close the first...
1991 was the year when Capcom started bringing games to the so new Nintendo's 16-bit system, Super NES. And the first crop came with three promising games: the version for a classic and popular...
I have played games from 1985 to 1995, and came back now 'cause DS caught my attention. So I decided to remember some games from that first period that not much people played, and once a month...
First of all, quoting Gamespot: "We Do Not Inflate Our Scores"! Yes, I think Brain Age is broken, and yes, I think it deserves a 5.0. It's enough for now.
