ClaDun X2 Current selling price: $11.99 Honestly, this is the only one I feel is overpriced and I’ll explain why right off the bat. Yes, it is Nippon Ichi, but it is very, VERY basic. Maybe that’s a good selling point for some people, but I feel it’s still overpriced all the same. ClaDun X2 […]

Wonderpod Episode 140
Second to last show of the year. It will be nice for the crew to get a short break, but lots of fun doing these each week. Next week is all about year in review. Feel free to send us your picks for games of the year and down loadable game of the year. If […]
Steamed! – Depths of Peril
Depths of Peril Current selling price: $14.99 So imagine if the original Diablo was both competitive and timed. That’s Depths of Peril. Granted, saying that alone doesn’t do it justice, but that’s what it is per face value. You represent a leader of a barbarian clan and, throughout the course of a single game, will […]
My Thoughts On Earthbound
Earthbound. A game that for many is a fond, but distant memory. A game that did so much and (used to) receive so little recognition. A game that upon a distant glance doesn’t look like its anything special, but provides a fun, deep, and rewarding experience. Earthbound is one of the best SNES RPGs in […]
Steamed! – Ys Origin
Ys Origin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0PNLeQHlQA Current selling price: $19.99 I’m a sucker for pretty much anything with Ys tacked onto it. Ys Origin is a prequel of sorts to the original Book of Ys. It’s pretty fun, has the new Ys engine going for it, and has a lot of really interesting concepts, but is highly repetitive. […]
Torchlight 2
General Overview I’ve been wanting to review this one for a while, but never felt like I had enough content to do so. I’ve beaten the game…and I still feel this way. If anything, this speaks volumes about the magnitude of ridiculous content stuffed into this package. If you enjoyed anything at all about the […]
Steamed! – The Binding of Isaac
The Binding of Isaac Current selling price: $4.99 Initially I wasn’t sure what to think about this one. Now…well, I’m not sure what to say. As a game, it’s really damn good. It’s a Zelda-esque rogue-like that has all kinds of fantastic elements and a steep ass difficulty. However, it’s also incredibly fucking disturbing and […]
Sleeping Dogs
General Overview Imagine if you had a game that combined elements of Saints Row, True Crime, Batman Arkham Asylum, Max Payne, and Assassin’s Creed. Imagine if that same game was a sprawling action RPG hybrid being fronted by Square Enix. Sounds too good to be true, right? Strangely enough, Sleeping Dogs seems to combine all […]
Wonderpod Episode 128
Another wild and wacky Wonderpod is ready to go. (jazz hands) This week show returns to some topics from last weeks. We then make fun of other stuff and as a special bonus we sacrifice a chicken live on the show. No actual chickens were injured in the recording of this podcast. It really sucks […]
The Last Story
It should be noted that this is not the pre-order kit. There is actually quite a lot of swag for pre-ordering. General Overview An action RPG that has semi-real time strategy elements, close and long-range combat, lots of optional side missions, and even stealth gameplay? Surely, there’s got to be something wrong with it. That’s […]
