I mean, Contra was a shooter and it was hard, […]

July 10th, 2012 
gunsage Hello everybody, it’s your friendly(?), everyday Gun Sage here ready to throw a new series in your face hole.

Emulation Arcade – Avengers

Are Games Getting Too Casual?
June 5th, 2012 gunsage This is something that’s been on my mind for a while and, while many may not care, it’s something that’s near and dear to me.

Remakes I Want To See
August 23rd, 2011 gunsage In a world with few new truly fresh ideas and constantly performing necromancy on classics to pilfer valuable coin from the consumer, why in the world would I want MORE remakes?
