Hey DToid, I know its been awhile since I posted here and I really should finish off my SNES stuff one of these days but I really want to share something awesome that happened to me yesterday. Yesterday was my 30th Birthday and my Girlfrien...

*days may or may not be concurrent So what�s the best game to get someone who never had a NES, missed out on the classic Mario games when they first came out and had just gotten a brand spanking new Super Nintendo and needed some games t...

Last year I did a series of blogs celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the Game Boy being released in Japan. In it I looked back on 20 games I�d owned/played during the original run of a system that had defined who I am as a gamer. In no ...

It�s kind of hard to pin down why I become such a Squaesoft fanboy back in the day. True Secret of Mana still remains to this day as my all time favorite gaming experience, but apart from that the only other Square game I had played on t...

During the SNES era like many of you out there I discovered just how awesome RPGs, after playing Secret of Mana and Illusion of Time (Gaia for you lot in the USA), I decided I liked RPGs and I need more of them and then along came the N64....

The Super Game Boy came out in 1994 and finally the world of Game Boy was opened up from its black and white monochrome prison, into a world of colour, well kinda. With the Super Game Boy, you were still limited to only 4 different colo...

There is no hiding the fact that I'm a Nintendo fanboy. The first ever Non Nintendo video game console I ever owned was an Atari 2600 and I only got that about 5 years ago. Up until getting my 360 earlier this year I never had a new Non...

For the most part I�ve always enjoyed Star Wars games, I�d be hard pushed to find one that I have played that I didn�t enjoy (well maybe the Rebel Assault games), hell I even loved Shadows of the Empire on N64 which seems to get an unfair...

� You know how there are those games you love a hell of a lot but are just baffled when you see people hating on them or are surprised that a game is just not getting the love it deserves. And no I�m not talking about the Okami�s, Pyshconau...

I�m not a huge fan of the GTA games, up until the amazing GTA Chinatown Wars on DS the only other one I had really played was the first one on PC which I thought that was a fantastic little game, so much fun just mucking around smashing...

In my early years as a gamer I was not into SHMUPs at all, its not that I did not like them, its just they did not interest me. The only ones I can remember playing was Xenon II on Game Boy (more on that later), Apadyia on my Nan's Amig...

2009 seems to be the year of Handheld system anniversaries , we've had the 20 year birthday of the Game Boy, Wonderswan turned 10 back in March, the Atari Lynx is gonna be 20 in September and this week marks the 10 year birthday of the most...

�So I can play them again � You know what sucks when there is a game you love to death but just for some reason can not go back and play. Most of the time I find that its mainly cause I remember too much about the game and me being me I get...

So this week marks the 20th birthday of the Game Boy being unleashed on the western world way back in 1989. I�ve already done a whole series on the Game Boy back with my 20 Game Boy games in 20 Days. The whole point of that series was mor...

So I've had my DSi since it launched down here. I wasn't going to get one at first, I was quite content with my DS Lite and there was not much that appealed to me about the DSi at first. When you just glance at the new features the DSi brin...

Something fun I've found to do on the DSi is to take photos of stuff and then draw over it using the the picture editing software its got on there. I'm not the best at drawing, but I think its somewhat cool to muck around with. I'...

*Days oh so not concurrent So I hope you all enjoyed my 20 Game Boy games in 20 Days (Days definitely not concurrent), I honestly enjoyed writing it up. For me thats the most I every written for anything video game related other then a fe...

*days may or may not be concurrent. There are a lot of games for the Game Boy, but there is only one best Game Boy game ever made. That game is the game I�m going to cover today for the final game in this little series I've been doing ove...

*days may or may not be concurrent I�m a huge Wrestling fan, as far back as I can recall I�ve been into the WWF/WWE. As we've already established I'm also a huge fan of the Game Boy. So its only natural that I got a few of the WWF games f...

*days may or may not be concurrent There was a time when I cared for The Simpsons. When I was younger I was into them soo much. Now days I honestly can't sit myself down to watch an episode anymore. I've just outgrown it, which is weird c...

*days may or may not be concurrent Yay back after a 2 week delay, was gonna post this up earlier but with e3 going on, thought it might be good to take a break so this doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Anyway 4 games left so lets get strai...

*days may or may not be concurrent When it comes to fighting games I always considered myself a Street Fighter guy. I prefer the visual style and the feel of the game a lot more then to a lot of the other fighter games (Sam Showdown comin...

*days may or may not be concurrent I�ve looked at the works of the infamous LJN previously with Terminator 2. I understand they have made a fair amount of crap over the years. And while most people would of looked on the Rainbow logo as a...

*days may or may not be concurrent Pinball, it almost seems to be a relic of another times these days. I didn't play a lot of Pinball when I was younger, a few cabinets stick out fondly in my memory such as the Doctor Who one (which I woul...

*days may or may not be concurrent. Last time was about the Game Boy Color, today I'm gonna take a step back and look at the Game Boy Pocket. I got my Game Boy Pocket in 1997 I think. For some reason I didn't have my old Game Boy brick an...

*days may or may not be concurrent. So the Game Boy had reigned supreme in the handheld market throughout most of the 90's. It had beaten off all completion despite being graphically inferior then the other handhelds at the time. However ...

*days may or may not be concurrent. As much as they seem to have fallen from grace Rare was a great company back in the day. Most people will remember them for the Donkey Kong Country games and their N64 offerings. Yet as I'm sure many of...

*days may or may not be concurrent. I always felt like I kinda got the alternate history of Nintendo when I was growing up. Were a lot of gamers my age would of grown up on the NES, I went from Commodore 64 to Game Boy. Most would of had ...

*days may or may not be concurrent. And we are back, I wish I had an excuse for the 4 day delay, but I've just been lazy. Plus been playing lots of handheld Zelda (why did I not buy the Oracle games or Minish Cap when they came out). Anyw...

*days may or may not be concurrent. Lets face it during the mid 90�s Nintendo was not doing so hot. The N64 was not were Nintendo would of liked it to be. Sony was killing them in sales and a lot of 3rd parties where jumping ship to the P...
