Review: Leedmees (XBLA)
Lemmings was a ridiculously simple, yet classic game. You had the Lemmings, whose sole purpose was to travel from their origin on the map to an exit point. Your goal in Lemmings was to clear their path in a way that got them to their destination safely and in one piece. Leedmees is Lemmings, and in that respect it is not particularly original. What makes Leedmees original is the WAY you accomplish...[Read More]
Review: No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise (PS3)
When your character looks like he’s jerking off with furious vigor just to recharge your primary weapon, you know you’ve got a gem of a game on your hands. Such is the case with No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise, the enhanced PS3 port of the original 2007 Nintendo Wii game No More Heroes. Look, the game isn’t perfect. It had flaws in the original Wii version, and it has flaw...[Read More]
Review: Rush’N Attack: Ex-Patriot (XBLA)
Rush’N Attack: Ex-Patriot is a bad 80’s action movie; the dialogue isn’t great, the story is thin and feeble, and you’re fighting Russians (see what they did there with the game title?). You are part of an elite knife-fighting assassin unit for the U.S. military. You are to infiltrate a Russian base and rescue the long-suffering American prisoner who failed in his (similar)...[Read More]
Metal Gear Clothing Line? Yep!
If you follow me on Twitter and were on yesterday you would’ve seen me talking about the recent news regarding the Metal Gear Solid franchise: Konami has teamed up with musterbrand to deliver a clothing line inspired by the outfits worn in-game by the Peace Walker characters. I know what most of you are thinking, because a lot of the time game inspired clothing comes out terribly, but I̵...[Read More]
Review: Battle: Los Angeles (XBLA)
When I think of Konami my mind doesn’t go towards the FPS genre at all, so when I found out that they were teaming up with Saber Interactive to create Battle: Los Angeles, a FPS based off of the (supposedly) horrible movie of the same name, I got a bit worried. Yeah Konami is the same company behind the Metal Gear franchise, but last time I checked gamers aren’t going all Master Chief ...[Read More]
Silent Hill Movie Sequel Now Filming
Silent Hill: Revelation 3D is now filming in Toronto. That’s right, 3D. Oh joy…

Castlevania Dreams Up Some Screens for Reverie
I actually looked up the definition of reverie before writing this. It means to enter a state of being pleasantly lost in one’s thoughts. Well…that doesn’t really seem to fit the horrific monsters and vampiric demons found in the Castlevania series, but whatever. We have some new screenshots to look at for the first DLC for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, entitled Reverie.
Marooners’ Talk: Episode 004 – “I Wanna Take You For a Ride!”
The fourth episode of Marooners’ Talk features our new numbering system where the episode number actually matches the number of episodes! I know, I know, we’re bucking our system, throwing your world on its head, shattering everything you once believed to be true. Frankly, we got tired of explaining that Episode 2 was actually our third episode, etc.
Review: Hard Corps: Uprising (XBLA)
Some people might say that Castlevania is Konami’s greatest creation, while others may say Metal Gear. Some may find Silent Hill to be the crown jewel of Konami, while others may say Dance Dance Revolution. I humbly suggest that they are all wrong (though Castlevania would come close). As a matter of unarguable fact, Konami’s greatest contribution to the world of gaming has been Contra...[Read More]

Well the March doldrums shan’t be so… doldrummy… this year, as dates and pricing have been announced for Microsoft’s upcoming five-week XBLA event, XBLA House Party. Every Wednesday, starting on February 16th and running through March 16th, a new XBLA game will be released a...[Read More]
