Wonderpod Episode 97

This week’s Wonderpod is a festival of ranting. It was said during the show, but let’s say it again here. This was an angry episode. Even Jon who is never angry managed a pirate like arrr or two. There is no way to gauge whether there is more cursing this week than usual. Let’s just […]

Chrome Games 2 (Zombie Pandemic)

Time for the second installment in my Chrome game’s series. This week I bring you a game called Zombie Pandemic. I know what most of you are already thinking “ Oh sweet flaming mother Mary in a side car, not another zombie game!”. Trust me at first I was thinking the exact same thing. Then […]

Down On The Bot Farm

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 […]

Under the Scope – Stealth in Videogames

For me, stealth is a very mixed bag. I really appreciate games that allow you to use stealth, but don’t completely shove it down your throat with unnecessary and unforgiving trial and error sequences. The early Splinter Cell games were a perfect example of this in action. It’s very hard to get stealth “right,” especially […]

Wonderpod Episode 96

We made it through a show without gunfire. You heard me right, a new episode of Wonderpod and no bullets flying. There was also no explanation for the loud bangs from last weeks show. Must have been aliens or black helicopters. The show is still awesome minus all that and it is ready to go. […]

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 […]

The Fantastic World of Japanese Games – Episode 5

Sometimes the mere mentioning that a game had RPG elements was enough to shelf the idea to bring it over. You’re going to see me pulling this excuse a lot because for every Mega Man, Castlevania, TMNT, Mario, Zelda, and whatever title that came out, you’d have a dozen or so RPGs that didn’t quite […]

Wonderpod Episode 95

This weeks Wonderpod started off with a bang. In fact the whole show is a little off format so to speak. Let’s see what the audience thinks of the subtle changes. Mind you we did speak of video games and all things connected with the activity. So that aspect of the show remains the same. […]

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 […]
