The Beatles: Rock Band is a pretty polarizing game. While nobody seems to see it as a bad game, the limitations on it that isolate it from the rest of the Rock Band product line have created some amount of frustration among those who’ve fallen for that Rock Band magic. Then, there are those of [...]
At 2am yesterday I was finishing up playing some Dragon Quest V when the game dropped this bomb on me. Seriously? Don’t cock up the proceedings by trying to look all dapper or anything? Cock up the proceedings? Really?
One of the simple pleasures of the Legend of Zelda games is the bottle. These things can hold magical wonders of all stripes, but nothing, for my rupees, tops the fairy. Capture a fairy in a bottle, and when you fall in battle, the fairy escapes and revives you. How many times has my ass [...]
If you use GMail, you’re familiar with the Google ads that appear just above the message controls. For the past few weeks, I’ve been struggling with the ads for PSP software that have been showing up here. For some reason, the letters “ffi” in “Official” are larger and fancier than the rest of the text. [...]
People have been crying for years about how Tails is an extraneous character, and if this sighting at Wal-Mart is any indication, Sega may have let him go. You see, in the Genesis era, he was shopping exclusively on Fifth Avenue. When his people weren’t shopping for him.

Dragon Quest VIII is making me hate my Wii.
I kind of missed the party when the PS2 was big, so I made sure to grab myself a launch-model PS3 when it was announced they were being discontinued. Since then, I’ve picked up a number of great PS2 games in an attempt to get a grip [...]

Blizzard announced another class for Diablo III, the monk. You might recall the monk being in the Hellfire expansion to the original Diablo. This newer version of the class boasts a handful of impressive skills that seem to have come straight out of a kung fu movie, like exploding palm, seven-sided strike, and way of [...]
Yeah, it didn’t make sense to me either, so I had to do some reading.
The new game Shadow Complex, which I have heard called “the best game on XBLA,” is apparently based in some way on the work of science fiction writer Orson Scott Card. Basing a video game on the work of a science [...]
Bust-A-Move is a brand in peril, a solid gameplay concept with powerful roots which has since struggled to live up to its former glory. I’ve wasted my time with Bust-A-Move 99 on N64, for example. Why did I do that?
Much like the Sonic Cycle, Bust-A-Move carries weight from its origins, so we approach the new [...]
