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...

]I like beat em ups. I especially like one's that are based on their own new universe. Liscesed ones are great, but when you're making your own new mythology, I like that. Captain Commando did that with all his Mech Riding and Mummy frien...

Boss battles as cutscenes has to end. I hate it. I hate it more than I hate that movie Contact. And let me tell you, I hate that fucking movie. It's longer than Dune. It's twice as boring as Gigli with less famous people. There are no rob...

After starting my new job last year, I realized that I liked buying games every week. Every payday, no matter how big or small, I buy games. I buy old games (Yard sales, "retro" game stores), new games (Godfather 2? I don't know either.), g...

This post contains spoilers for Bonerquest. If you want the real full Bonerquest experience, don't read all of this. You have been warned. Bonerquest has several endings, so you might not get spoiled. Arron Linde used to write for Destr...

Too much storyline can kill a game for me. So many cut scenes and just nonstop talking isn't a game. It's watching a movie or reading a story. That is, unless the story is really cool. Blood Wil Tell has one of the greatest in a game ev...

Super Godzilla. Every game on super nintendo has super in it for a reason, and Godzilla got that treatment. The other Godzilla games I've played on Nintendo weren't wonderful, but they were Godzilla. Now as a kid, Godzilla is the king...

The third game I got for my genesis was a puzzle game called Junction. Bought on credit the same day as Buck Rodgers, not a few days after I got the genesis. That is if memory serves. My childhood could very well have been spread ou...

In the early 90s, Sonic was only part of a "too cool" trend amongst our niche. Bart Simpson rode his skateboard and used catchy lines. T-shirts of such characters existed everywhere. As the more popular animal, Sonic is the standard I jud...

When I was a boy, the most exciting thing was a television block called "monstervision." Often it would feature horror films, but on many nights it featured Japanese Godzilla-type movies. Kaiju's the word, but giant monsters se...

In about 1991, I played SEGA at a friends house. He had a broke leg and we went over to cheer him up, I got to play Sonic for the first time. Time passes, and my mom finally bought me my very own Genesis. Three games with it too. Sonic, ...

Darkwing Duck is amazing. Mega Man engine game's are amazing. If they released a tie in liscensed game with that engine it seemed to always be gold. One's I've played for sure. Darkwing Duck in and of himself was wonderful and I can'...

Shin Megami Tensai, what the heck could that possibly mean? Translates to New (or True?) Reincarnation of the Goddess. I don't know what that means really. Information I have gathered indicates that the story was originally based on a...

Dinosaurs. I like them. Jurassic Park 2 on super Nintendo is a Contra type run and gun shooter. It has a few problems, but it's fun to play sometimes. You ever play this one? It has nothing to do with the second movie, that I know of, it...

Final Fantasy Tactics was my favorite thing to do for the longest time. I could easily play it for days at a time, even after finishing it I could return to it and try out different strategies, then later in high school I spoke with ...

Summmary: Decent hack & slash adventure with Conan The Barbarian license. Cheap price makes it worth picking up, if you like violence, beat em up gameplay, or find over the top use of boobies and gore humorous. Fifteen dollars, maybe less. ...

Not that I'm the best blogger, or whatever user created content means, but I just wanted everyone to know that I will not be posting anything else here until Saturday July 11. I've several articles that are long, much like my dog Abbey, and...
