My co-worker brought in his Nintendo DS and his brand new copy of the Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass into work yesterday so I could check it out. All I’ve heard from him for months is that despite all the games coming out on every console these days, the DS remains his favorite system. He’s […]
The Weekly Release
Nick Puleo of Evil Avatar (a site I can no longer visit at work thanks to our new network web content filter) has set up another cool website called The Weekly Release. You may recall Puleo as the person that allowed me to desecrate his Gamers’ Gallery site with my hideous graphics. Over on EvAv […]
Smashing and brawling delayed
Amidst the slew of Nintendo announcements yesterday was a little nugget of despair for Japanese gamers: Super Smash Bros. Brawl would be delayed a couple months. No biggie, I’m sure it’s for localization purposes and that the US version will still ship at the beginning of December as planned. Uh, no. Super Smash Bros. Brawl […]
Tons of awesome Nintendo announcements
Nintendo held a press conference in Japan last night and announced a plethora of fantastic upcoming items of sheer coolness. IGN Wii has a live blog of the event posted, and I’ll throw out some links to some of the highlights here. Sonic is officially in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Check out the intro movie […]
The pain of the year-end maelstrom
I don’t know which is more depressing: the lack of money, or the lack of time required to play all the games coming out this year that I want to pick up. Just this month I have Zack & Wiki coming out next week, and the double-bogey of Guitar Hero 3 ($90!!!!) and Battalion Wars […]
A good example of marketing demonstrating its irrelevance
There are times when marketing people shouldn’t be allowed to speak. This is one of those times. Here’s a small portion of an interview with Insomniac Games’ marketing director, Ryan Schneider. Insomniac is the developer of the Ratchet & Clank games. Kikizo: You’ve said that some inspiration is taken from games and movies, but have […]
Final Fantasy VII remixes
I grabbed the torrent this weekend for the entire Final Fantasy VII: Voices of the Lifestream, the latest OCRemix community game music project. I’ve only gotten through CD2, but it is a phenomenal album so far. Far surpassing Chrono Symphonic, which I found to be fairly dull and repetitive. But this FF7 music kicks and […]
Sheldon Wii comic
Dave Kellett demonstrates why I love Sheldon with a great reference to the Wii in today’s comic. I know I’ve broken several unspoken rules about thumbnailing giveaway panels of webcomics, but even though this is the “punchline” panel, the preceding three panels are even better than the last.
Hey, what’s this?
Hmmmmm….interesting….. (psssst — I’m gonna be away for a while…….)
Metroid Prime 3: I can haz bad revyooz now?
Because LOL language is fun. And giving Nintendo games bad review scores is “in”, apparently. I should preface this by saying, no, I haven’t yet played the game. That will change Tuesday evening. I really shouldn’t be tossing in my 2-cents judging reviews for games that I haven’t yet touched. But, oh, wait! This is […]
