The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 2
When playing Japanese SNES games on an emulator, often there are obvious and not so obvious reasons why a game may not have come out to America. The best way to think about it is was it an RPG, did it have suggestive themes, and did it have any sort of following here in America? […]
The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 1
People who understand emulation, even to a small degree, know all about the fantastic world of translated games that never left Japan. Most of the time it was for reasons like RPGs not selling well in America at the time, more mature content than they felt an American audience was ready for, or simply having […]
Xbox Live Price Increase (a year or so later)
I wonder if anyone even remembers that the price of Xbox live went up in late 2010. In this instant Internet age it’s easy to forget. I am sure the critics and people looking to fling poo haven’t forgotten. Zeus help Microsoft for doing anything to interrupt the status quo. Granted a lot of the […]
PatMan Picks N64 Favorites. Banjo-Kazooie
Super Mario 64 was a revolutionary and amazing launch title on the N64. It was like nothing else I had ever played. It set the bar very high for all other 3D platform games that came after it and honestly, many future titles would not match it in terms of game play or fun. Banjo Kazooie may […]

People that don’t game at all that happen to stumble across our hobby seem to mistake videogames for an actual sport, kiddie toy, the devil, or many, many other things. These are things […]
FPS of the Year – 2002
This was a great year, but it was hard to select a #1. There are 32 games this year and many of them I would highly recommend…with one I’d say just avoid altogether and try to forget it even exists. Let’s hop right in!
PatMan Picks. Favorite 10 Video Games of 2011. ( Part 2)
Welcome back to my personal and favorite games list for 2011. Just like last time these games are taken only from the ones I actually played, not what I might think “deserve” to be on the top 10. I have played and enjoyed games this year where I broke peoples spines while watching them vomit blood, […]
