Editorial: I Want Another Zelda

By Riddles
Finally, a Zelda for trainset enthusiasts.

I want another Zelda game. Okay, so there are a lot of things I want from Nintendo these days, but that’s an editorial for another day. The Legend of Zelda is my all-time favorite videogame series. This is part of the reason why Nintendo’s actions of late have pained me so grievously. While they’re busy more »

Review: Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

By Bup
Just a typical day in Liberty City.  Or Detroit...

Most people will argue that the original top-down Grand Theft Auto games are nowhere near as good as the third-person versions out recently.  However, for some reason the top-down style works on the Nintendo DS installment of the series Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. The game is played almost like an offspring of the older, more »

By MasterChef
It

It is not often that a game comes along that succeeds only in being senselessly violent and yet works so well, becoming an addictive experience. Even less often is this sort of game appearing on the Wii. However, this is just what has happened with MadWorld, published by SEGA and developed by Platinum Games. MadWorld more »

Editorial: Statistics, Sports, and the San Jose Sharks

By Ethos
Go Wild!

The Sharks are barely relevant to this post, but I needed the alliteration. Plus, it is the playoffs, get in the spirit! It is true that I am not often thought of as a “sports guy”. I pretty much suck at any real life sport and I couldn’t name more than 3 current, professional sports more »

Editorial: Fools Like Me

By Riddles
I want that. The game, I mean.

So, reportedly, Square Enix’s Final Fantasy series has sold 85 million copies since its debut waaaay back in 1987. Unsurprisingly, this makes it Squeenix’s best-selling franchise, with Dragon Quest hot on its heels and Kingdom Hearts bringing up the rear. My goodness, but isn’t the staying power of the series remarkable? I know it’s more more »

Editorial: Why Silent Hill is better than Resident Evil

By Bup
Two great titans battle for the final time...

There are two things that make Silent Hill better than Resident Evil: the characters and the enemies.  Now, I love both series, so do not misunderstand me or flame me for “hating” on Resident Evil.  Resident Evil may have brought the survival horror genre to the mainstream with its release in 1996, but Silent Hill more »

It doesn

Yes, it is true, I really did weep when Shawn decided it was time to trade in this game– SPs and Gamecube and all. I imagine our dear Lusipurr curses the day he ever bought this game for us to play together. I think one of the things that drew me to this game was more »
