Gamer Apathy

Everybody and their brother is going on about the next gen consoles and I can’t help but think “meh.” A lot of people don’t understand this attitude, so I’m going to help explain it based on an overwhelming sense of apathy and the fact that it really doesn’t matter who wins the next console war […]

Steamed! – McPixel

McPixel Current selling price: $4.99 McPixel is…well, very…VERY…weird. It can best be summed up as a WarioWare-like title where there are several minigames, but it’s more than that. You have to find the correct solution based on different items and people to interact with in order to ensure a bomb of some sort doesn’t blow […]

Steamed! – Recettear

Recettear Current selling price: $19.99 By the point, I’m not sure there’s anyone that exists that DOESN’T have this game, but here goes. Recettear is, at its core, a trading game. It’s also a fun and funny JRPG that has a lot of elements to it such as day planning, dungeon crawling, store management, and […]

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 […]

RPG of the Year – 2010

Same rules apply. I’ve cross referenced and double checked all the games on this list to confirm where and when they came out. North American release dates only and if I was unable to play the game, then I can’t count it. Again, I apologize if your favorite game didn’t make the top 5 and […]

Wonderpod Episode 177

This weeks Wonderpod is very special. Our very own Jon and Glasenator recorded, produced and directed this episode. I for one am very proud and happy to hear this episode. They did an amazing job and I think you all should give it a listen. Warning I did make a brief pre-recorded appearance.

Grand Theft Auto Series

GTA has been an interesting series that I’ve had a love/hate relationship with for many years. For many, when they say GTA, they’re referring to GTA3, 4, or possibly something along the line of San Andreas or Vice City. To avoid any confusion, I’m looking at the series as a whole and dishing out what […]

Final Fantasy 13 SUCKS…Also, I’m Back!

Are you familiar with the Final Fantasy series? Are you? The original Final Fantasy was the first RPG I ever played and I’ve played every single little bit of them since, whether they’re part of the main series or not. Now then, which one was your absolute worst? If you didn’t answer Final Fantasy 13, […]
