Nintendo stops whoring out Metroid, or at least Retro stops

Review – Bioshock
Thursday, August 30th, 2007 by christianAbout halfway through Bioshock, I had concocted three different introductions to use in a review.
Then I lost my saves.
Word to the wise; don’t transfer your offline gamertag onto Xbox Live at 2 in the morning. Bad things will happen. They did to me, and I had to play the entire first half all …
Review – Dungeons and Dragons Tactics
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007 by tysonFinally, a Good Original Game for the PSP
The PSP has always befuddled me. Here you have a visually excellent system with pretty decent processing power and storage capabilities, yet one of the biggest electronics companies in the world can only manage to wrangle a handful of good titles for the system. No kidding, I can …

Review – Mario Party 8
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007 by zenstraboMario Party 8 is great for those who love board games, but don’t have a properly calibrated floor to play one on.

ASCII art game – Shoot ‘Em
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007 by christianWhen it comes to Youtube vids made of ASCII art, quality can hit or miss. But this is the first time I’ve seen it used to make a 3d game. The name is Shoot ’em , and the concept is simple – use your ASCII gun and ASCII mines to blow up …
Expansion Packs, Add-ons, Sequels, and Other Crap the World Doesn’t Need
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007 by tysonI love the Sims. I am hopelessly addicted to the nutty little people that live in their own world on my computer. I am so hooked to this virtual crank that each time EA kicks out another goofy expansion pack for it, I bite and grab myself a few new locales or items for my …
