General Overview Kid Icarus is the epitome of what it means to be an action/adventure title. There are different scrolling stages, newer and newer challenges, status effects, upgrades, lots of interesting items, and an ever-increasing difficulty. Bottom line, if you haven’t tried this title, you’ve seriously missed out on 8 bit action/adventure goodness.

MMO Weekend Madness
April 9th, 2012 
Bruce McGee Most people spend Easter with family, friends and food. It’s a nice tradition and one I see no issue with. Being me, I spent the entire weekend searching for a new MMORPG to kill time with. It was an interesting search and I was finally successful after several false starts. Mind you the false starts […]
Final Fantasy 12
April 5th, 2012 gunsage General Overview Square Enix tosses tradition aside yet again with a single player MMO as an actual entry in the Final Fantasy series. The characters and story are pretty shitty, but the license point system, open world aspect, and semi-realtime combat may be enough to win over some diehard S-E loyalists. Plus, it looks and […]
Thousand Arms
April 3rd, 2012 gunsage General Overview Blacksmithing, RPGs, and dating sims collide in Thousand Arms, a game where smooth talking the ladies can help power up your weapons as well as earn you new spells and abilities.

Google Maps + NES = April Fool’s DayGoogle Maps + NES = April Fool’s DayGoogle Maps + NES = April Fool’s Day
March 31st, 2012 G You read that right. If you go to Google Maps, and click the right corner labelled “Quest” you can check out the world as you know it in 8-bit form. I don’t know if this is as much of a “prank” for April Fool’s Day, as much as it is just plain a fun twist […]

March 30th, 2012 G The following comes to us from JT over at Bored Wrestling Fan. Wrestlemania 28 Edition: I said that I might make a contribution to Wrestlemania week and here it is. What is it you ask, well the only thing I could think of doing, the Mania before Mania which I’ll be doing Wrestlemaina through the […]

March 29th, 2012 gunsage General Overview Usually when you throw several genres together, it just doesn’t work, especially when you’re dealing with older titles. ActRaiser is a shining example of how it CAN work, however, throwing a qualified action game very similar to that of the Castlevania games into the mix of a God sim whereupon you also level […]
Reviewing the Audience
March 28th, 2012 Bruce McGee I see the Mass Affect nonsense has now spawned a few more articles on games journalism. Questioning how reviewers can give ME3 such high scores, when the ending sucked harder than a level one rogue wearing tap shoes. As fun as it would be join the vapid chorus spotting nonsense about reviewers blowing corporate overlords. […]
Shin Megami Tensei – Devil Survivor
March 27th, 2012 gunsage General Overview It’s Shin Megami Tensei as an SRPG on a portable. If that doesn’t get you going, consider the fact that there’s an interesting time mechanic, it’s based around survival, and you can change peoples’ fates. Still not enough? How about the fact that it has excellent music, visuals, difficulty, demon auctions, and a […]
Angry Birds In Space!
March 26th, 2012 Bruce McGee Another Angry Birds game, imagine that. I am sure some of you are groaning already. I admit I was hesitant to download Rovio’s latest installment in the franchise. So any misgivings you have is warranted. Thing is they managed to add enough new features to make this well worth 99 cents. I find myself quite addicted, just […]
