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 […]

Wonderpod Episode 102
March 16th, 2012 Bruce McGee Wonderpod is now two years old. Essentially, that means nothing short of a cease and desist or restraining order will stop us now. This week the regular crew returns to action. Glasenator is now a roving podcaster and I find that awesome. Other than that new feature the show is pretty much back to form.
