Arma 3 Exile: Base Newb

Every few months I check in on the Arma 3 mod Exile. See what has changed and a nice break from other games. This time I decided to show off a bit of the base building. Specifically how walls snap together. May seem like a simple concept, but if you played DayZ mod you will […]

RPG of the Year – 2011

I was hoping this year would be a little more eventful and tough to pick a top 5, but it really isn’t. Sure, the top 5 are EXCELLENT and there are a few good runner ups, but there are also a lot of terrible MMOs and poorly thought out mobile games. There are 81 games […]

Sequels I Would Love To See

Sometimes you play the fuck the out of a game to the point that there’s literally nothing else, you’re left still wanting more. Sadly, if there was more, it probably wouldn’t be as good, maybe some tacked on at the last minute DLC or whatever, but what about a sequel? Ahhh, but only if it […]

Wonderpod Episode 152

This week on Wonderpod. We head back into the world of video games. Familiar ground and possibly one familiar topic. The rest is all new and I suppose you can say a return to form. Man it’s hard to come up with new intros isn’t? Don’t try this at home kids. We probably shouldn’t either, […]

Liberty or Death

General Overview Once again establishing themselves as leaders in the sim/strategy genre (back at the time), Koei comes up with an amazing turn-based strategy/resource management game featuring major players and events of the American Revolutionary War.

RPG of the Year – 2009

It’s entirely possible that I missed some games, but I’ll say this…this list took me a good 4 hours to put together, therefore, if I missed anything, just let me know and I’ll fact check it just in case. I’m confident, however, in the top 5 and let me tell you, there are some FANTASTIC […]

Atlus scores yet another hit on this playstation classic that blends multiple genres, lots of great humor, and much more. See? Being […]

Shin Megami Tensei – Devil Survivor

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 […]

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 […]

RPG of the Year – 2008

I have to apologize in advance. I don’t own a PS3 or iPod, so there are a few titles here I can’t play that I’m sure you guys are going to dislodge your jaws wondering about. I’m sure Valkyria Chronicles is awesome. There, I said it…but I don’t know personally, so I can’t put it […]
