River City Ransom is one of the games I wished I had got as a kid. A friend of mine had it, we would play for a bit, then get stuck. We didn't know you could wander around the city or that you get stronger buying foods. We just liked be...

Continuing where I left off, is Mega Man X. Mega Man's 8-bit adventures we're greatly, mostly, but I understand how some people would want something a little ediger. More mature. With a more fleshed out storyline and flashier effects. Ent...

AND My cousin James called me to come to his house. He had this new game, and I had to play it. Much to my surprise, this wasn't just a game. This was a gameboy game for his super gameboy. He didn't have a gameboy, everything he pla...

Remember that game Mike Tyson's Punch Out on the original Nintendo? I know I sure do. It was awesome. It has a couple sequels out there that share the same name, with no Mike Tyson. It also has a psuedo sequel called "Power Punch 2." It w...

I make the mistake and read letter columns. In comic books, in magazines, and even in internet media when they respond to e-mail, I always love seeing how people respond to letters. It's fascinating to me. Here they are, these learned pro...

Let's be honest here, admitting I suck is difficult. As one of "those" types, I can't admit that. You know those types? That know everything. That could point out Threads of Fate or Power Pigs. Maybe not at first, but you show me a screen...

You're a quitter. And I am too. I will not apologize for picking random photographs for this. I quit playing two games recently, I never want to play either of them ever again for any reason. No amount of imaginary achivement points or ...

both love and hate the blogosphere. Gaming "community" blogs are the only ones I go to. It has some pros and cons. I certainly enjoy the video game blogs more than the usual sites. Gamespot and IGN are bullshit compared to even the small...

Needless to say this goes into the spoiling: Suikoden, Disgaea, Knights of Republic, Mass Effect, Spider-man Web of whatever, Marvel Alliance 2. And Werewolf Last Warrior. I mention Fable and Bioshock too. The new call of duty. I swear,...

For those that don't know, Yakuza is essentially River City Ransom 3D. That might be a bit silly and reviewerish of me, but that's instantly what I got from playing it. It's no where near as popular as it should be. Considering how amazin...

I prefer to own. I don't know why. Despite my love of emulation, and I love it, I want a game in my hands. A real game. That's why I always feel stupid buying digital games. I can't loan it out. I can't re-sell it. But I can still lose it a...

When I started reading Jim Sterling's review of the saboteur I entered with some trepidation. Firstly I know how Jim is. He's cantankerous. Often doing things for the sake of doing them. The game he was reviewing could be potential for so...

World War 2 with monsters! Not complex I know, but this is a video game and this plot is a whopper of a premise. MOre so than other world war two games involving the occult seems to be everywhere. I will say it is tough to play sometimes, b...

At some point I started to hate grinding levels. Over and over. The same monsters. The same battle. It was too much for me to handle. Well that's all over with. Now I can use the same four guys, preferably four, to do all my fighting over a...

During my inagural run of the internet on Starcraft, I met a guy who told me that he liked playing all certain game X on his computer. I explained I never played 2 or 3 and he said he could just send me the “rom.” What? A rom? Really? All I...

I enjoyed the first X-men on genesis. It's a fun game, but its pretty brutal difficulty wise. I've never beaten it, but I never beat this one either. I do love it though. The second is such an improvement that I would say its a must own gen...

One thing I'm always reading in response to my articles is about Nostalgia. The idea that I only like these games because I played them twenty years ago. Wrong. Some of my readers seem to act like that too. I've a game I'm playing for the...

I had a great and angry rant all wrote up. I noticed something strange about review scores and a paragraph in realized I don't care. So now photos of strange costumed people, objects, and other stuff vaugely related to gaming.Something su...

Legend of Dragoon, a game that I miss playing. I enjoyed it so much when I first got it and little over a year ago had to retry it again and play it more. Something about this game. Its style and gameplay, that's what I really enjoy abou...

Before you read this, I suggest you google yourself a copy of the game. Play at night, in the dark, all alone. I want you to try it out and see what you can find and do. If you hate it, that's okay. I understand how someone can hate this,...

My cousin that used to live with us had a super nintendo, and in addition to having Contra 3, Rock N Roll Racing, he had Legend of the Mystical Ninja. This Mystical Ninja is one of those games that I could never find the name of. I hunted...

When I bought my PS2, one of the games I really wanted to play was Onimusha. This was before we had a local gamestore, so the only way to do this was to go and rent it until I finished it. And wouldn't you know it that this amazing game w...

For whatever reason today, which is a Wednesday, I thought I would look up Cats TV. Cats TV is a game I've hunted for years. I've always wanted to find it and stupidly never thought to hunt for cat nes games. Now, I know the game I always w...

In Karnov, you play as a genie. He shoots magic. The enemies you fight confuse even myself. Genies are cool. Arabian theme is cool. I've always loved the middle eastern genie type of stories. Besides this very few games really roll wit...

As a child, I loved comics. As an adult, I love comics. Only natural that we start talking about comic book games. I already have written about a few spider-man and x-men games, but this is different. As a child, it was clear to me that t...
