I've started to write this post fifteen times now, but what can you say about Myst that doesn't sound like the same old tired retread? When it released nearly twenty years ago, there were decent odds that if someone had ...

Prrrbbt! My mane is all in a frizz because My Riding Stables 3D – Jumping for the Team is available in the Nintendo 3DS eShop right now. I'm doing that thing where I wiggle/shimmy my head back and forth while blowing ai...

Lauren Faust is a powerful person. She helped take a relatively unremarkable children's show aimed at pre-teen girls and transform it into a multi-media, multi-generation, multi-billion-dollar sensation. She also apparently h...

Oh, what's that Valve? You won't allow the 3DS eShop's critical darling Mutant Mudds on Steam? Do you honestly think that's going to stop Jools Watsham and the rest of Renegade Kid? To hell with you and the horse you rode in ...

The improved Wii U version of Mutant Mudds, titled Mutant Mudds Deluxe, is heading to Nintendo's console sooner than later as Renegade Kid developer Jools Watsham has just announced that it's nearly finished, and ready to sub...

[Update: Jools Watsham of Renegade Kid has clarified that 'No' votes do not directly cancel out 'Yes' votes on Greenlight, but it's not clear if 'No' votes have any other impact on a game's chances to make it onto Steam....

Mr. Bree - Returning Home is a platforming Flash game starring a pig who has lost some memories about his family. It's pretty great, which makes me excited that the game is being redone as Mr. Bree+. The updated version...

I could have gone through life having never heard of Moxie Girlz. I'd have been perfectly fine with that. But whether I like it or not, that blissful ignorance has been stolen from me. The vacant stares of tweenage glam dolls...

Nostalgia is a funny thing. Games we remember as being ground-breaking and awesome in our youth sometimes don't hold up as well when we're older. This also makes the generations who missed the games the first time they were r...

Last month, some evidence was uncovered that NetherRealm's 2011 Mortal Kombat game might be coming to the PC, but as always, grains of salt were passed around. Now there is some strong evidence that the game will be comi...

Rumors of Monster Hunter Tri 3G have run wild throughout the days leading up to Nintendo's Pre-TGS conference last night. After this "speculation" -- It was all but confirmed by Nintendo themselves -- we've finally gotte...

Dying for some true "next-gen" monster hunting and are not satisfied with a mere remastered up-port? Put your worries to bed, because here comes Monster Hunter Online, an exciting new PC installment powered by CryENGINE 3 an...

I found the weirdest video in you YouTube subscriptions this morning. It showed what looked like Sega's virtual idol, Hatsune Miku, walking through the Monster Hunter world. Then there was singing. And then dancing.  Th...

We now have some new screenshots of Monster Hunter 4, compliments of Capcom, and they show off a pretty cool looking ice world as well as two new monsters: Arselnus and Skuagil. I have a thing for frozen tundras, so I'm excit...

Monster Hunter 3G is the hot sh*t in Japan. The first week sales numbers are out, and it looks like Capcom's latest for 3DS moved 471,055 units. Keep in mind that this "week" is only two days of data. The real first week...

Anybody test out the 3DS XL Circle Pad Pro yet? Is it the cat's knees and the bee's pajamas? How does it stack up to the original Circle Pad Pro? For a certain set of Japanese gamers, the stock devices are hella weaksauce. Mo...

M-O-N-S-T-E-R, Monsters, monsters so bizar.... oh, hey, sorry. That damn theme song is SO catchy. That's why I'm SO excited to see that the worldwide sensation Monster High  is getting it's own videogame adaptation in Mo...

Death is a normal part of videogames. And in the early days of graphic adventure games, death happened almost too much. It wasn’t surprising to see your main character either stabbed, burned, drowned, blown up, or squas...

Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine was finally released on PC and Xbox Live Arcade in the past few weeks and creator Andy Schatz held a Reddit Ask Me Anything session where he answered questions about the game's long developme...

What is it about 2013, that all these indie games with nebulous half a decade long development cycles are finally coming out in the Spring? First we had BattleBlock Theater, and now, Monaco is joining the fun on April 24th, o...

I'm glad that I refrain from judging a game on its trailer, especially its first one, because the alpha trailer for Jane Jensen's Moebius is... well it's not great. Camp, full of dodgy, forced accents, and poorly put togethe...

ModNation Racers is very much an "odd one out" when it comes to Sony exclusives. It has the "build anything" mantra of LittleBigPlanet but remains tied to a single genre of game -- a genre that LittleBigPlanet itself is plann...

A lot of high profile iOS games have been flooding the market recently, and while we'd love to review them all, many of them slip through the cracks. We'd also love to give each game its own dedicated review, but the nature o...

Free to play games can come in a number of different forms. Some of them simply offer you optional micro-transactions for cosmetic items, and allow you to play the game unfettered. Some F2P titles, which I refer to as "pay to...

After the days of the Super Nintendo, I stopped playing any and all sports games that did not feature Princess Peach in a tennis skirt. Not that I don't think sports games are good -- I just think they got too realistic and c...

Clayton Kershaw is just the best. And as a lifelong Dodger fan, I'm thoroughly looking forward to Kid K and Zack Greinke dominating atop Los Angeles' rotation this season. But as much as I would love to ramble on about the D...

George Carlin said baseball was known as America's national pastime because "it takes so damn long to play a game." He was right. Never is this more clear than in playing simulated baseball in a videogame. While it does often retain the fun and excitement of being at the ballpark, it can also unintentionally include the tedium as well. Guess what MLB 2K12 includes?

October was a hell of a month here in San Francisco. There’s nothing like sports to shore up the bonds of comradely in otherwise disparate, eclectic pockets of the world. Just look at how the Olympics create a national ...

Leading 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth at AT&T Park with the heart of the order coming up, the division rival Padres brought out their new closer, Houston Street, to wrap up their victory. Street’s idiosyncratic win...

Keeping annualized sports franchises fresh year after year is an unenviable task, especially within the constraint of a ten- or eleven-month development cycle. Generally, sports-game developers endeavor to bring a few importa...
