Cancelled Game Primal Rage 2 Now Playable
Once again emulation proves its worth as a necessary tool to preserving and unearthing video game history. Primal Rage 2, a fighting game that was never released and was thought to be more of an urban legend, is now fully playable via emulation.
Review: The Simpsons Arcade (XBLA)
I was a child of the arcades. I would spend my time and money gladly and without hesitation at any one of a number of arcades on any one of a number of cabinets. X-Men, Gauntlet, Time Crisis, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more have all played their part in draining me of the limited funds I had in my childhood. One of the games most responsible for my lack of cold hard coinage in my youth was ...[Read More]
Review: Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax (XBLA)
Half-Minute Hero began life essentially as freeware known as 30-Second Hero originally developed by UUE. A unique take on the Japanese Role Playing Game (JRPG) formula, players had 30 seconds to beat an evil wizard and save the world from certain destruction. In 2009, the game would be adopted by Marvelous Entertainment where they would make the move from a standalone 1 MB game and add 5 other dif...[Read More]
E3 2011: Warlords
Thirty-one years. Warlords was released as an arcade cabinet by Atari thirty-one years ago. By contrast, I am only 28 years old. This game was, quite literally, before my time. Now, that’s not to say that I never experienced the cabinet. I spent many hours in arcades when I was but a wee lad, and Warlords, while not a regular favorite, got its fair share of time.
Geek Thought of the Week: Arcade Hard
In which we discuss the arcade games of yesterday, how we play them today and whether they have any future tomorrow.
Second Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Trailer Released
I feel like such a novice for not knowing that a sequel to Tekken Tag Tournament was being made. I guess with all of the hype over Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat, and the Street Fighter X Tekken/Tekken X Street Fighter games, things are bound to slip through. I loved Tekken Tag Tournament on PS2, so I’m really looking forward to this.
Review: X-Men Arcade (XBLA)
I am an experienced time traveler. Unfortunately, triggering my travels through time is beyond my conscious control. I must rely on external factors to throw me into the past. Yesterday, one such external factor threw me back to an arcade in Oklahoma City in the early 1990s. Yesterday, I picked up my Xbox 360 controller and played the Backbone Entertainment’s XBLA release of Konami’s ...[Read More]
Review: Knights in the Nightmare (PSP)
Atlus has a habit of trying something different, and Knights in the Nightmare is no exception!
Review: A.I.M. Racing (Steam)
Part 2 of my review of the 1C Racing Megapack on Steam. Racing through canyons at breakneck speed, hurling rockets and hot lead at anyone who challenges you.
Arcade X-Men Coming to XBLA and PSN
I have some great memories of arcades. I remember this great arcade back at Crossroads or Quail Springs mall (I can’t remember which one now, this was over 15 years ago) in Oklahoma CityI remember when Luxor hotel and casino was first built out in Las Vegas, they opened up a fantastic two-level (or three-level, it’s been close to 15 years since this particular memory) arcade on the lob...[Read More]

Billy Mitchell Is Still A Jerk
In 2007, there was a much talked about documentary called The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters that told the story of Steve Wiebe. Steve is a gamer, a teacher, and an all-around nice guy who wanted to have the highest score in Donkey Kong. Unfortunately, record holder Billy Mitchell is a total crybaby who just can’t admit defeat.
