As I have stated on recent Podcasts, I have re-entered that life-sucking, gaming black hole that is World of Warcraft and joined my third large raiding guild. One of the things that struck me about my new guild, aside from the fact that our GM sounds like Tony Soprano’s secret lovechild, is the sheer volume [...]
Editorial: Guitar Hero 5 v. The Beatles Rock Band
With the recent release of Guitar Hero 5, there is a bit of controversy over the inclusion of both Johnny Cash and Kurt Cobain as playable characters. The fact that the player can use either of these characters for whatever instruments they want has made some fans of the two a bit disgusted. Representatives of [...]

Katamari. Despite a curious lack of hamsters, I love this game. What isn’t to love, really?

Among North American teenagers the numbers are higher, with most studies indicating that 75-90% of North American teens [...]

Editorial: Okami for the DS?
When I first heard that Capcom would be publishing a new Okami game, I immediately transformed into a giddy high school fangirl. This happens to be one of the very few PS2 games I own, and I adored every moment spent in the magical, artistic world of Amaterasu. However, when I heard later that it [...]
