And thankfully, none of those steps were part of a retread of Journey Escape for the Atari 2600. I was fortunate enough to score one of the Journey beta codes Dtoid was giving out earlier today, and it's probably the best thing that's ha...

Now for my take on the Sony Playstation press conference from E3 2011, now that I've finally had a chance to sit through it. I'm not going to lie, I think they did a much better job than Microsoft, even though I'm more of a 360 user than PS...

I felt like posting some overall impressions of the various press conferences being held at this year's E3, but have been too busy with work to watch them live, so I'm writing these up as I have a chance to actually watch them. With luck, I...

Hey guys, spoilers and speculation regarding Left 4 Dead in here. Though if you haven't already heard the things that fall under the former, you probably have no reason to read this anyway. In a recent bit of Memorial Day related fluff, I ...

...there must be Melee. 184. 381:02. 1477. These are not just any numbers. These are how many times I've fired up my copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee, how many hours and minutes of peoples' lives competing in that game has cost, and how man...

This Memorial Day, I'd like to take a moment from your busy schedules of drinking, barbecuing, and catching up on game backlogs on your day off to acknowledge the real meaning of this holiday. Let us honor the sacrifice of those who have go...

According to my Gamefly queue, I was shipped Dissidia: Final Fantasy nearly a month ago. I only got around to popping it into my PSP last night, so clearly, I was just dying to play it. I was even more excited when I got through the tutoria...

You may have noticed that this post is a bit late, and you will also notice that it's a bit scant, once the standard jump is out of the way. On the seventh day of Crimbo, my true love didn't realize the difficulty of finding (after maki...

I can't say geese have played much of a role in games, um, ever, so today, I aim to address the laying side of the sixth verse. On the sixth day of Crimbo, my true love stole the potential children of, for me, (following a request for f...

This typically lung-busting round of the song would lend many to believe that I'm going to discuss the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise. INCORRECT. The only things I care much about in regards to Sonic are a) the theme from Chemical Plant Zone ...

Four days in, and today, I'm going with an obliquely literal approach. No fowl involved, however. On the fourth day of Crimbo, my true love forwarded me (following trips to three wrench heads, putting the hurt on two turtle/doves, and a...

I'll be honest, I've had plenty of trouble figuring out where to go with verse three. That, and I just got a new computer, so I've been putzing around with that most of the afternoon. But I think this'll do for some last minute inspiration....

Today's verse deals less with a particular game than it does with a certain breed of character, though they are only in one franchise's games. Handily enough, their coloration happens to be rather festive. On the second day of Crimbo, my t...

Feeling vaguely moved by the spirit of the season, I thought I'd use unsubtle punnery and strange logic to tie some of my favorite games and game elements to the verses of that irritating chestnut, The Twelve Days Of Christmas. Originally,...

I posted my list in the thread itself, but couldn't help but illuminate just how my fight for love would go down. As a refresher, my list, in order: 1) Crash Man (Mega Man 2) 2) Master-D/Hitler (Bionic Commando) 3) Gilgamesh (FFV) 4) Kocha...

...is a game two can play and both win. - Eva Gabor "Hey man, how's it going? You seem kind of down." "Completely effing depressed is more like it." "What's wrong?" "Oh, I dunno. I just completely scorched my save for this game I've be...

I don't know if anyone follows me or cares, but I figured I'd mention I'm still alive. Been dealing with Real Life the past month or so, and haven't had the time or been in the mood to play much. Nothing earth-shattering or deep, really; ju...

While I missed seeing Nintendo's E3 2010 conference live due to being at work, I'm kind of glad I did. Everyone seems to have been starstruck by the whole thing, but reading up on everything that was shown after the fact, I seem to have dod...

This past week, as with pretty much any other week, a reviewer whose name rhymes with Slim Curling had his opinions called into question by the slavering hordes, namely in regard to Alpha Protocol and ModNation Racers. Reading the actual wo...

After a week, I feel I've spent enough time with the Halo: Reach beta to truly know what I like about it, as well as what few reservations I have. Here's what I've gotten out of my experience thus far, in regards to both general changes and...

SquareSoft's seventh iteration in the core Final Fantasy franchise, Final Fantasy VII holds a dear place in many a gamer's, especially many a role-playing game fan's, heart. The game was a turning point in many ways, opening the doors for a...

While admitting as much will paint me as way behind the curve, I finally got around to finishing Dead Space last week. I love the game, but there was one thing that stuck out the entire time I was playing: I thought I was supposed to be sca...

While there's already an official thread for this sort of thing, I have a bunch of picks I could see happening and reasons as to why, so I figured I'd make it a full entry rather than clogging the comments section there. I should note that ...

A long-awaited dream finally came true recently for many an Xbox 360 owner, when Perfect Dark's hi-def overhaul released on Xbox Live Arcade. I liked the Preview and Sterling's Jimpressions, but both seemed a bit scant, so here are my impre...

Game Room hit for Xbox Live this week, but I've seen little press for it beyond the original previews and CES hands-ons, so I thought I'd give a little rundown of my own. Not unlike the Family Game Night program, Game Room lulls you into a...

The US government has made it clear that healthcare in this country's gotta change, and how. Jim Sterling already provided some insight into what may be in store with the recently-passed legislation, through the filter of video games, but I...

Fallout continues from this weekend's unprecedented elfcare legislation continue, as government offices across the board were swamped with email and phone calls asking about positions on proposed "death panels." These panels, a ridiculous ...

After months of contention and intense campaigning from both sides of the aisle, both the House and Senate have ratified president Obama's revolutionary elfcare legislation. While seen as a key, if not career-saving, victory for the preside...

I think it's time for some birthday shots! I know most bars won't serve four-year-olds, but I got you this fake ID anyway, and the whole robot-face thing throws off any real visual estimates. We're probably going to have to do enough shots ...

The more movie-news savvy amongst you probably already heard, but I just found out Robert Rodriguez has his dirty hands in a new Predator movie, simply dubbed Predators. The actual trailer doesn't go up on the site for a few more days, but...
