2008: the year of the 360 RPG?

I know that the Wii has some RPGs on the way, but it looks as though 2008 might also be the year that the Xbox 360 gets some quality RPG goodness of its own. Infinite Undiscovery from Square Enix slated to hit the US at the beginning of September. The Last Remnant, also a Square […]

The next Nintendo console will just have to wait

So, I have a co-worker, and he and I are both die-hard Nintendo fanboys. We have always owned Nintendo consoles, we have always worshiped Nintendo properties, we have always waited with child-like glee and anticipation for every new nugget of Nintendo goodness. Now, this co-worker friend of mine recently purchased an Xbox 360. No problem, […]

Lostwinds is fantastic

I just finished the WiiWare game Lostwinds by UK developer Frontier. It is, in one word: amazing. Yes, it is definitely short. I completed the game in about 2 and 1/2 hours, give or take. But it never once disappointed in the least. The concept of controlling the wind and a character in unison is […]

WiiWare launches today!

Today is WiiWare launch day! So, when I get home today, I’ll have some purchasing decisions to make. Luckily, those decisions will be relatively easy. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. This one’s a no-brainer. It’s a Final Fantasy building sim that looks gorgeous. Sure, it’s $15, but I was just going […]

PlayIt, ReviewIt is LIVE!

I guess Siraris is ready to let the proverbial cat out of the proverbial bag with the official launch of his brainchild, PlayItReviewIt. I’ve got a handful of Wii game reviews out there, one of which is currently a front-page “featured review”, so I got that going for me, which is nice. I guess this […]

Mario Kart Wii: pre-ordered

There are two things I never do: I never shop at GameStop I never pre-order games. Today, I did both of those things. I feel a little ashamed of this fact, which is probably why I feel the need to confess my sin openly. The gist of it is that GameStop has a marginally good […]

All these wonderful toys!

I’ve picked up a few nice toys in the past week or so. They’re so much fun, I thought it was time to share what I’ve been playing around with. My first HDTV. The reviews aren’t spectacular for this particular model, but the price was right: $100 from a co-worker. He explained the issues that […]

2008: the year of the Wii RPG?

There are so many Wii games to look forward to this year, it’s hard to pick a few out and hold them up as shining examples of what I’m most hopeful to see before the holidays. But that’s exactly what I’m going to do. More to the point, I’m taking a look at the list […]

Is Brawl awesome?

I can most assuredly report to you that it is every bit as awesome as everyone has been making it out to be. How awesome? Well, it’s sold 1.4 million copies in the past week. Just in North America. 874,000 copies were sold just on the first day. How awesome? The entire game–from menus to […]
