Recent information suggests that with the PS3 and PlayStation Vita, Sony could deliver experiences similar to what Nintendo hopes to do with the Wii U. Riddles ponders what this means for Nintendo, and their mission to win back the core gamer.
Ah, sequels. You gotta love ’em. I’ve written about bad sequels before, and now I’m going to do the opposite in a way, and talk about five upcoming sequels that I’m hoping won’t suck. BioShock 2 Yeah, yeah… I know this game likely won’t see release this year (although a calendar 2010 release has not more »
Backwards-compatibility is often a sensitive issue in the gaming community. Or, to be specific, lack thereof. Sony was practically crucified when they removed PS2 support from later models of their PlayStation 3 system. Admittedly, I was among the angry masses at one point. Backwards-compatibility was something to be expected; the PS2 fully supported PS1 software, more »
Uhh… I can’t feel anything… can you? Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Pull your minds out of the gutter and I’ll explain the, ah, parallel I’m attempting to make here. Have you ever picked up a universally worshiped game, in hopes of having the same awesome experience, only to… not? Perhaps you still enjoy the game more »
Growing up sucks. Well, not entirely. It has its benefits, but I think we all tend to look back at the so-called “simpler times” with fondness, and wish that just for a day, we could revisit them. Before this becomes an emo-tastic commentary on my life as a whole, let’s move on to the point more »
I did not play any videogames today. It’s my favorite pastime, and yet somehow I couldn’t bring myself to pick up a controller and play… anything. At all. What’s worse is that I actually have these days fairly often, and sometimes these days stretch into entire weeks. What’s especially strange is that when this happens, more »
Ah, E3. A breathtaking, life-changing experience, to say the least. Not a bad show this year either, with more than enough big-deal announcements to keep gamers such as myself in anticipation of what’s to come. While Ethan is busy working rich-looking businessman, (again) how ’bouts I write up some brief, initial impressions on some of more »
I firmly believe that, unlike any other medium, videogame sequels generally tend to out-perform their predecessors. Hollywood continues to crank out sequels that shame and defile what came before them, yet the game industry has managed to avoid that trend… for the most part. Today, I’m going to talk about five videogame sequels that have more »
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 more »
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 more »
