You know what’s an absolute pain? Adding roughly 30 people to your Brawl roster. And then, coordinating and poking and nudging until they finally add you back. Also, attempting to reason with those that are hurt when you don’t feel like adding them because they are relatively new EvAv members and you haven’t participated in […]
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
It is in hand. Well, in bag. Urban Dead might just be taking a back seat for a while. As will other video games. And my friends. And probably my family. And pretty much any social interaction of any kind. Plus, eating.
And now, I’ve acquired No More Heroes
It is in hand. Well, in bag, actually. And I’m going to need it. It is currently a balmy 2 degrees in the great wasteland of central Iowa, with a blistering -15 degree wind chill and an accompanying frigid wind that cracks at the air like an arctic tundra. I really need this winter to […]
DS Lite is moving higher on my list
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 […]

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 […]
Does Nintendo really care about the ‘hardcore’ gamers?
See, now hearing things like this worries me. There’s rumors floating around (apparently started by IGN who credit those wonderful “anonymous internal sources” we all know and love) that Nintendo has quietly axed Project H.A.M.M.E.R. It’s an easy rumor to believe since Nintendo hasn’t given us one single sliver of info since the game was […]
Playing Super Paper Mario
DON’T BOTHER ME!
Nintendo to use tin cans and a string for Wii online
I don’t know. I’m not sure what to think about this. LOS ANGELES –(Business Wire)– GameSpy, a unit of Fox Interactive Media, announced today that it will provide multiplayer technology to game publishers developing titles for Nintendo’s Wii(TM) video game system. As part of an ongoing partnership with Nintendo, GameSpy has developed middleware technology to […]
Nintendo is its own worst enemy
A word of caution: I’m going to rant a bit. Eurogamer site Games Industry has the current generation version of the same old story that’s been recanted every generation since the days of the Super NES: Nintendo is its own worst enemy. In part, it’s true, but in all honesty, part of this concept is […]
