The first gaming related article I ever wrote was a Bomb Man boss guide in 1998 for a fan site I created with a friend. That evolved into tips for every boss in the series, and slowly but surely, my collection of Mega Man games gr...

The Umihara Kawase (a play on words involving a Japanese idiom about fish) series is making a comeback. After a strong showing in the '90s the series kind of retreated for a bit, only to pop back up in 2008 on the PSP, and then again on the...
