Okay, if I grab the hammer from that stump I can use it to take out two of those mooks guarding the shish kebab, then dash past the crush traps. The guy at the end of the trap line is wearing a pool floatie as armor, so I'll have to use a r...

We're in agreement that the 1993-1994 Sonic the Hedgehog TV show is the best incarnation, right? It had that dark tone where anyone could be killed (sorry, robotocized) at any time, as well as that kick ass theme song. On the flipside, I al...

Publisher Microids has the first look at its upcoming remake of cult classic shooter XIII and um...they're kind of basic? Let me be clear, I don't dislike what I'm looking at. It's interesting that this kind of drops the cel-shading style f...

As I've said several times in the past, Mega Man: Fully Charged isn't a bad show. It's decidedly aimed at a younger audience but some of the arcs are worth following and there's plenty of tasteful old school references tucked away in there ...
