Developer: Namco(t) Platform: Arcade/SNES Year: 1991/1992 After recently purchasing Space Invaders Extreme 2 (AWESOME game btw, demolish it) I felt an itch that only shmups can scratch. That whole sentence was pretty stupid, but this rev...
Ever since I had heard of the Sega Power Base converter I was always somewhat intrigued by the Master System. But I thought "why bother? Ive never cared about it". But, something took root and I had gotten the fever, Master System fever. I ...
Year:1986 Platform: MSX Developer: Pony Canyon Let's be honest, Back to the Future NEVER translated well to games. Why though? I think the easy answer is that the license to produce games are handed out to developers who clearly do not c...

Allen O'Neil personifies what it means to be HARD. In my last badass spotlight I focused on Geese Howard and how hardcore he is. I made a mistake. Allen O'Neil makes Geese look like a kitten. His character description off the wikipedias: "...
Year: 1997 Platform: PC Genre: Action/Adventure Developer: Mindscape My memories of this game came rushing back recently. I was cleaning out the area around my computer desk and I found a big stack of PC games from when I was a kid! I fo...
As I began to write this blog I noticed an ad for Rappelz Epic V, why the fuck do all these "FREE FANTASY MMO" developers throw money around to be advertised on every game site imaginable? Who can honestly say they play those? Like we need ...
Sometimes there are men so powerful, so feared that the mere mention of their name will send shivers down the backs of anyone, good or evil. Geese Howard is such a man. I am going to discuss who he is and why he is so badass (for those not ...
So, at my college every month we have a tournament night. This month we focused on fighting games! WOOOO!! They were Brawl, Soul Calibur 4, DOA4 and Street Fighter 4. I didn't participate in the DOA4 and SC4 tournaments for obvious reasons ...

I just saw the trailer for this and it has me excited. Sega, doing an 8-bit style game, about cowboys, plays like Mario but has guns?! SOLD! So what do you guys think? Is this a classic example of Sega being Sega or is it something much m...

*reposted due to wave of hugs* This has been on my mind for a while now. Ever since I got my Genesis back in my room where it belongs everything seemed fine and dandy. The picture was a little fuzzy, the audio not quite so crisp. I had gott...
