Editorial: Pointless Games

By Thea
I love exploding meteorite things!

I love pointless games. That is to say, I spend a great deal of my gaming time on games with such simplistic goals as “get lots of points” or “unlock the next item/level/whatever.” Now, perhaps these games should not be called entirely “pointless,” but they are pointless in that there is really no discernible story, plot, characters, [...]

Review: Excitebots

By Ethos
Told you.

Excitebots is pure, unadulterated fun. To be frank, there is little more that needs to be said about the game, but perhaps at least some backstory is required. Excitebots is the unexpectected sequel to Excite Truck which was a sort-of-but-not-exactly entry in the famed Excitebike series. The result is an entirely wacky experience that has [...]

Review: X-Men Origins: Wolverine

By Bup
"Hold the flight!  I was held up at the metal detector!"

Movie-licensed games have a horrible reputation, tricking uneducated buyers into purchasing them using the influence of a popular movie title.  X-Men Origins: Wolverine breaks this trend. A majority of the game’s storyline follows the recent movie the game is based off, with the addition of extra story elements.  Many of the actors in the movie [...]

Review: Peggle

By MasterChef
Fair Enough.

He aims carefully. Very carefully. He measures just the right angle to take the shot, right down to the centimeter. He analyzes the level, carefully planning not only the shot to take, but when to take it. He fires the ball, then prays to the Lord that it goes well. In most cases, it does [...]

I had the distinct pleasure of obtaining my first Webkin last night. My sister and I braved the neon colors of a young girls’ clothing shop for a buy-one-get-one free special. My Webkin? He is a bat and his name is Mr. Battykins. But why on earth would I want to write about Webkinz? Now, [...]
