Editorial: Lessons from the Past

By Riddles
Deku Link sad that Nintendo stole his personality.

Nintendo finally did SOMETHING right. Nothing earth-shaking, perhaps, but something right. Specifically, they released The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask on the Virtual Console. The game was originally released in late 2000 on the Nintendo 64, and again in 2003 on The Legend of Zelda: Collector’s Edition for the GameCube. Somehow, though. Majora’s Mask has [...]

Editorial: Direct Download vs. Physical Copies

By Bup

The other day I was looking up patches for a certain game, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines to be specific, and I came across a forum post about how the poster paid $100 for his physical copy of Bloodlines, instead of paying $20 for a downloaded copy.  The poster then continued to state he didn’t pay [...]

Editorial: Klonoa’s Place

By MasterChef
PlayStation crowd: Blood or GTFO

With my recent purchase of Klonoa on the Wii, the question must be asked: Is there a place for games like this? No, this is not about Klonoa being a 2D platform-jumping game, though that is a question that is certainly worth asking. The question is whether there is a place for a youth oriented [...]

Editorial: The End is Nigh?

By Thea
Can you imagine what our world would be like without this?

I am beginning to think that the RPG is a dying genre—at least where the upcoming generation of gamers is concerned. A generation that is increasingly craving fast-paced, short games in lieu of the longer, more engaging experiences found within the pages of an RPG. Gamers, increasingly, are avoiding games that tie them to the [...]

Editorial: Dear God, No.

"Dancing to play video games is stupid," says Dancing Bear

E3 is quickly approaching and, as usual, it’s bring a ridiculous number of rumours with it as well. Usually at this point, I’d be extremely excited. It’s common knowledge that I prefer to be optimistic when I have little to no information about a game or major event. Although that perspective has resulted in disappointment [...]

Editorial: Hardware Redesigns

By Riddles
Looks legit...

Ah, the pre-E3 rumor mill. Gotta love it. This is the time of year when the grandest leaks occur, the hokiest rumors are conceived, and we hear the words “X company does not comment on rumors or speculation” (or some verbal equivalent) at least nine thousand times per week. Among the juicier rumors that have [...]

Broken Steel not only adds to the overall plot of Fallout 3, by allowing the player to join the ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel to finally defeat the evil Enclave, but adds ten more levels, raising the [...]

Editorial: Duke Did Not Win the Bet

By MasterChef
Nice ass.

It seems like forever since Duke Nukem Forever was announced all the way back in April 1997. Before the recent closure of 3D Realms, many gamers no doubt gave up on the game, or even forgot about it altogether. Now, with any hope of the project’s completion gone, we get this unprecedented deluge of footage, [...]
