Uh oh looks like someone is screwing with the app store. According to this news post from Joystiq. People are employing a bot service to alter game rankings. First off, I’m surprised we don’t hear about this more than we do. iTunes and the app store are a crowded market to break into. As someone […]

Minecraft Cribs
Way back in the early days I did a sad little video series. It was called the minecraft road trip and it consisted of screen shots. What your about to witness is an actual video, Vivian would be proud. I have no clue if it’s better than the old series. I just know it’s not bloody screen […]
How An Achievement Caused Introspection – Skyrim
Skyrim is a fantastic game where even something as minor as sidequesting can be fun, interesting, and even a well told story all in its own. Some of the sidequests in Skyrim are much more entertaining than the main storyline…so much so that the main storyline pales in comparison to it. This seems to be […]
5 Things I Hate About Skyrim
Skyrim has hit most gamers’ Game of the Year for 2011, if not their personal top 10 list. In saying that, I must admit it’s one of the finest games I’ve ever played. There are a few problems, however, that could have been ironed out to make the game even more fantastic and unfortunately these […]

If your wondering where the Kinect Star Wars video game that was shown off at several e3’s went, its almost here. It was delayed due to ” quality issues”. What were those quality issues you ask? The controls absolutely sucked. Of course, considering it is a motion control video game this was a big issue. Thankfully, instead of rushing it out for Christmas […]
The Fantastic World Of Japanese Games – Episode 4
Sometimes a game is deemed “too weird” to come to American soil. This doesn’t happen all the time and usually when it does, it’s for good reason. I mean, I guess so. All three of the games highlighted here definitely have their quirks, but should still definitely have come to America. Sadly, all three are […]
The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 3
Far too often a game simply won’t be released in America because…well, it’s predecessor failed. Now for me, this is never acceptable, but I do understand. If a game has a huge following in Japan AND it’s an RPG, but it doesn’t really take off in America, they’re more likely to continue the series in […]
