Review: AMY (XBLA)
Imagine, if you will, an atmospheric, moody game where you are given the role of a woman looking after a gifted young girl in a world suddenly overrun by zombies and other monsters. Then make the first level of the game impossibly dark, make the characters incredibly slow, give them the AI of a caterpillar, along with giving the main two characters telepathic powers. This is the premise of AMY; at...[Read More]
The Legend of Zelda: Setting Sail On a New Voyage
Hyrule Historia, the Holy Grail for Zelda fans that was recently released in Japan, is full of interesting facts. One such interesting fact is a confirmation of a new Zelda game under development. Now, that isn’t exactly startling, considering things that certain Nintendo employees have said recently. What caught my attention, however, is what Eiji Aonuma said that confirmed the development ...[Read More]
Review: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Here lately, I have seen few movies featuring a sophisticated plot. Most of the time, the plot can be summed up in around five words, but to try and sum up the plot for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo‘s with “Two people solve a crime,” however, would in itself be a crime. Steig Larsson succeeded in weaving an intricate web that could entice any fly and David Fincher has succeeded...[Read More]
Did I Make A Mistake?
Well, the final ten games for Nintendo’s 3DS Ambassador Program have arived, bringing the total up to 20; ten NES games and ten GBA games. But some of you may be asking the question, “Did I make a mistake by purchasing my 3DS early/late?” For those of you aren’t aware, Nintendo decided to drop the price of the 3DS from $250 to $170 earlier this summer. Most of the people wh...[Read More]
Is Retro Studios Working on a New Zelda?
Did you get excited when you read the title of this article? I know I did. Of course, this isn’t written in stone, but according to an interview between Wired.com and the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto, it is possible that Retro Studios could be working on the newest installment in the Legend of Zelda franchise. I, personally, am just about to die from happiness. For those of you who are unaware...[Read More]
Retro Review: Resident Evil 2 (PSX)
Ah, I remember getting this game from Santa Claus when I was 9 years old. I remember thinking later on that he must have hated me; this game scared the heck out of me, along with my other Christmas present, Clock Tower. Later on, however, I grew to absolutely love this game. Resident Evil 2 is one of the main reasons why I’m going to school for Game Design right now. I used to make maps of m...[Read More]
Retro Review: Frogger (PSX)
The year is 1997. It’s a dark time to be a frog. The traffic is relentless and there are crocodiles and sentient lawn mowers everywhere. One wrong move and I could become a chew toy. I make my way quickly across the road, weaving in and out of traffic. I finally make it across and try to make it across the water…only to jump at the wrong moment and dive into the calm stream, causing me...[Read More]
I Miss My GBA Games, Nintendo
When the Wii came out, one of the things I was excited about more than anything else (except for the ability to play Twilight Princess) was the Virtual Console. I had always dreamed of playing the games that I missed out on in my childhood, and the Virtual Console was going to help me rectify my mistakes. I could now play Super Metroid, Paper Mario, Yoshi’s Story, Super Mario 64 (before hate...[Read More]
Roadeo: Innovation is Down the Street
I was looking through my Twitter feed earlier, and I noticed that @petermolydeux‘s account had been given back to him. For those of you who are unaware, this is a Twitter account parodying Peter Molyneux, the famed British game designer. Twitter suspended the parody account because people actually thought it was Peter Molyneux and then became confused, and I can understand why. Some of @pete...[Read More]
Resident Evil 6: It’s a Secret to Everybody
It’s been over two and a half years since Capcom graced us with Resident Evil 5 (although some fans will disagree with it being a grace), and I believe it’s about time for some new information. Unfortunately, Capcom doesn’t exactly feel the same way, and all information regarding the sixth installment in the long running survival horror series has been shrouded in a heavy blanket...[Read More]
Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)
This Thanksgiving, we have many things to be thankful for. Some are thankful for the blessings in their lives, while some are thankful for having such loving friends and family. I’m thankful to have a new Zelda game to play through, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Link’s first true adventure for the Wii. The question is, however, does it soar above the clouds or does it plummet to the ground?
Is PETA’s Attack on Mario Justified?
(Ed: PETA has released a statement saying this was just a joke… really? “Mario fans: Relax! PETA’s game was meant to be tongue-in-cheek, a fun way to call attention to a serious issue, that raccoon dogs are skinned alive for their fur,” Shakira Croce, PETA’s media coordinator said. “We wish real-life tanukis could fly or swat enemies away with their tails and escape from those who profit fro...[Read More]
