As someone born towards the tail end of the arcade days, I always felt like they were the time when gaming was at its best, even if I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with them. Not only they had a unique atmosphere but as ever...

I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of folklore. A mix and match of ideas, stories, legends, and myths, that get passed from generation to generation, deeply rooted in tradition. It is a fundamental part of human cultur...

After finishing Tiberian Sun, Westwood wasted no time getting their next game out. Their last game was good, but a rocky development cycle led to an unpolished product with lots of room for improvement. And maybe they sensed th...

It’s no secret that Brazil loves soccer. Our team was once the strongest in the whole world and throughout the years, brought home many World Cups. And more than playing it on a field, the thing Brazilians love the most is pla...

Command & Conquer was received with praise, both from critics and the public. It was clear for Westwood that they had succeeded in creating something special and endearing. The gameplay and setting were the perfect foi...

This August, the Mega Drive celebrates its 30th birthday in North America and at this point, its trajectory is well documented. But its relationship with Brazil is special. Not only it was never discontinued, but it also played a lead...

The RTS genre isn’t what it used to be. Once a popular staple of PC gaming, the genre fell into obscurity in recent times, being remembered mostly by old boomers and the entire nation of South Korea. I don’t really know wh...

Does this even need an introduction? It’s a blog about good games from the previous year that nobody played. Not a Top X, because I have a hard time putting ordering things, and all the games here deserve love in equal amount....

In all my years as a not-even-amateur writer, I have never once considered writing about anime. Not because I dislike the medium, quite the contrary I simply don’t know how to do it. I can name you a few studios, I’ve watc...

Ever since their advent, there has always been that one video game that embodied a generation. Those games share a few characteristics, like creating or revolutionizing a genre, completely changing their respective franchises or jus...

Living in a third world country is a challenge. Things that developed countries take for granted can be a struggle in these parts. Education, health care, technology, every major area of society is always behind, always lacking. ...

Releasing a brand-new console nowadays is a difficult and costly ordeal that even the established giants of the industry don’t always get right. From the Atari Jaguar to the PlayStation Vita, history has plenty of example...

Welcome back to the stage of history ladies and gentlemen. It is now 2019 and the world was not ended yet. I wanted to get this article in December last year during the sales period but life decided to get in the way. But I like to ...

Sure You Can December is finally upon us and you know what that means. Time for everyone to start writing/filming/recording the mandatory GOTY list and like the mindless zombie that I am of course I wanted to follow suit. Unfortun...

  Imagine one day you wake up to find out your favorite snack is gone from your local store, forever. Never again will you be able to taste its delicious contents, feel its soft exterior or smell its intoxicating aroma. Now ...

You know, I think out of all video game series currently in existence on our perceived universe, Megaman belongs in the sacred pantheon of legends that require only a small introduction and the rest is magic that you wish you cou...

  Strafe ® I exit the elevator. There’s a narrow corridor in front of me that makes a bifurcation. Ahead, there’s a dead end and to the left, more baddies. I turn the corner, shotgun in hand and blast a grenad...

Guess who’s back? Back I am and if the logic applies, so are you, to talk more about the new Samurai Jack. If you missed the first discussion, click here and get up to speed. So let’s waste no more time because this ...

Guess who’s back? Does the name Samurai Jack ring any bells? Maybe you remember it from your younger days. Maybe you occasionally saw it on Cartoon Network while browsing for something to watch, or maybe you are like me, a ...

I love when a game manages to surprise me. Whether is an unexpected twist or a subversion of an old trope, the “holy shit” effect is always welcomed and generally makes the experience richer overall. It’s one of the ...

When I was a kid, one of my dreams was to own an RC Car, just like the ones in the commercials of this wonderful capitalist world we inhabit. I begged for months until, in one fateful Christmas, I received a rectangular box containing...

Side note: Okay, so i'm kinda of cheating here, since technically i already wrote this article, but damn! i just wanted to talk about this game so freaking much, and re-reading my previous piece on the subject, i found it complete sh*t. So...

Sometimes, someone decide do to things in a different way. That's how stuff is invented, improved and discovered. Video games are no different. Every now and then there's a guy trying to make something unique. Just go ahead and th...

You know, me and MGS started out in with the wrong foot. I don't really remember when i first heard about this game, and people always said to me: "Dude, you are missing a genre defining experience". It can't be that good. Fast forward...

I woke up, took a good shower, ate a nice breakfast, and since i had nothing better to do, i gone check out the news on Kotaku. Much to my surprise, i find that Nintendo is no longer acting on the Brazilian market. In case you don't kn...

So, it's Cristmas. This year passed by like a bullet, and now the end (of the year) is near. It is time to give, recieve, to take care and of course, to make wishes. But now, why don't we look at some things that happened this yea...

  What is a legacy? To me, it's the hopes, dreams, knowledge, experiences, advice, and all kinds of things that have some kind of value to us, that we want it to carry on to those that will come after us. This concept is speciall...

2014 was a great year. We got excellent games, great promises for 2015, awesome and unexpected movies (How great was Guardians of the Galaxy?), and so much more that other people already covered on their retrospectives. But it's time t...

Hatred, the controversial ultra violent game about killing people for no reason, came back to the spotlight after being removed from Steam Greenlight. By the time of removal the game had received more than 13,000 votes, witch is a lot....
