Isn’t this interesting, internet. I post a rant about how Mobile Phone games aren’t at all a threat to traditional gaming, and Forbes fires back with an article about how the Vita’s launch failed in Japan and its all because of Mobile gaming. Here’s the article for those of you interested. http://www.forbes.com/sites/terokuittinen/2011/12/29/sony-in-big-trouble-with-ps-vita/ Here’s what happened,…
Sometimes developers aren’t entirely forthcoming about what is in a game. In these situations, we buy a game under certain expectations and get surprised by what the developer has done. What Hideo Kojima did with Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was on a whole other level of lying. For those of you living…
This is something I hear all the time on gaming news sites, and from so-called gaming “analysts” that mobile phone games are becoming so popular they are replacing not only traditional handhelds, but also console gaming. This is total garbage. You see, internet, there is a certain amount of statistic blindness going on here. The…
Today, internet, we will be looking at Mario Kart 7. This is the first of my backlog games. Now that Christmas is over, I’m going to be going though a lot of games between September and December. We start off with Mario Kart 7 since I’ve had the most time to play it. This is…
Two more days until I’m back to my computer and can start editing my posts better. Keep the hope alive. I know what you’re thinking, internet. “Wow, what a clever title for today’s post.” Well, my cleverness can’t be all candycorn and rainbows so you’ll just need to accept the lame title. So today, Nintendo…
We have finally recieved gaming news, internet. The problem is that news is that we will recieve news tomorrow. At some point on the 27th, Nintendo is going to make an exciting announcement regarding the Wii and/or the 3DS. Now before every gets there hopes up, there is no chance of the announcement being a…
Here we are on Christmas day and the end of the biggest commercial season of the year. Now, after everyone recovers from Turkey and various levels of severe intoxication, we can look forward to next year’s Christmas (only 365 days away!). So, what should be on gamers’ collective wishlist for next year? Well, there are…
Skyrim is a fantastic game in many ways. Its ability to tell a story is not one of them. For how good the game is, this fundamental flaw is baffling. Whether it is guild quests that begin and end abruptly or, as we’ll look at in this post, the useless main quest. I’m going to…
Another day of nothing relevant happening, and another day where I get to tell you about the games I am currently playing. Metroid Fusion is a lot like The Sacred Stones. Both games are from notoriously difficult series, and both are the GBA blacksheep. You see Fire Emblem (7) and Metroid: Zero Mission are the…
Hey there, internet. With the derth of gaming news and the fact that I can’t tackle my backlog of games for another week or so, I think its time to start talking about some specific ambassador games. Today we are going to discuss Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, which was originally released for the Gameboy…
