Making SNES and N64 cases from cheap Genesis EA games.

Okay, I know this is strikingly similar to my last blog, but I realized after that while I failed to use some of those cases for that original blog, I could still use them for SNES and N64 games. And hey, I imagine a lot more people have th...

 
 
 
 

The Past: No More Quarters

Ah, the modern age of gaming. The graphics, the online connectivity, the movie quality voice work and effects, the post-release content ... the complete soullessness of it all. How I loathe it. How I wish I could go back to "tha good ol' ...

 
 
 

FGC & What (I think) I've learned: Structure

Back from MAGFest. Yay, MAGFest. First time there, enjoyed it overall. However, there is something that still lingers in my mind. I went to a panel on gaming communities, going with the intention of helping grow my own FGC. Well, I guess I ...

 
 
 

An interesting eBay listing I must share.

Didn't know whether I should share this or not, considering... ya know... it's just a link an' all. Still, I very rarely see an eBay listing with some humor thrown into it. You might get a chuckle out of it. Maybe I have a bad sense of hum...

 
 
 

RetroGrade: Waku Waku 7 (Saturn)

Ever played an arcade game - and really, really loved it - and then eagerly bought and played the console version only to find out it was a load of crap? It first happened to me when playing Primal Rage on the SNES - and after that, I unco...

 
 
 

RetroGrade: Ninku (Sega Saturn)

I remember reading GameFan back in the day and being blown away by all the games the Saturn received in Japan. Back then, all I could do was drool over them as my nerd-lust consumed me. Now, I finally have the chance to go back and play a...

 
 
 

Teh Bias: Old School Character.

There's no doubt that the gaming industry has advanced in many, many ways compared to it's infancy. Looking at Atari 2600 games or original Nintendo games and comparing them to the stuff of today is perhaps not far off from comparing a Te...

 
 
 

RetroGrade: Scott Pilgrim vs The World (PSN)

Scott Pilgrim is in love with Ramona Flowers. As I play Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, I find that I too am in love with Ramona Flowers... and Scott Pilgrim, and everything else about this game. Ubisoft's Scott Pilgrim vs The World may not b...

 
 
 

RetroGrade: Fighters Megamix (Sega Saturn)

Crossovers. Everyone loves them, and the fifth-generation was pretty much all about them. This was the generation that would spawn King of Fighters, Marvel vs Capcom and Super Smash Bros - all of which continue to be popular to this day. U...

 
 
 

RetroGrade: Elevator Action Returns (Sega Saturn)

What happens when a game tries to splice Rambo with Bond? What happens when you cross a Metal Slug and a Metal Gear? Do you end up with a bipolar game? Can you really run into action and try to avoid it at the same time? Elevator Action R...

 
 
 

E for Effort: 2D Fighter Turbo Revival

After we saw games like Street Fighter IV, King of Fighters XII, BlazBlue and Tatsunoko vs Capcom come out, we all thought that 2D Fighters had come back. And in a way, they have. Despite all the advancements, these games have all the hea...

 
 
 

Review: Cotton 2 for Sega Saturn (Import)

Ya know, I could take a look at a modern game... a game that is out right now, that most people would be seriously considering spending money on. But what's the fun in that? Rather than offer the fifteenth word on (insert over-rated actio...
