I don’t own a Kinect, I don’t want to own a Kinect, and I really do think the Kinect is stupid. But over the last few days, I’ve seen trailers for some upcoming Kinect games that actually have me interested. And no, dancing Storm Troopers isn’t what I’m talking about. Below are gameplay trailers for [...]

I’ll start by saying that I am not a furry. But this is the Internet, and I know you’re out there. The problem is that a majority of games that do feature your run of the mill creature people are often C or D tier anime inspired Japanese RPGs or dating sims. But furrr not, [...]

Thumbnail image for I Love Twisted Metal. Will You Love It With me?

I’m often met with blank stares when I describe how excited I am for the new Twisted Metal. I understand that it’s been over a decade since the last game in the main series, but by most accounts, Twisted Metal Black was great game. And for some reason, there are a lot of naysayers out [...]

Thumbnail image for Rage helps cure your Twisted Metal delay blues

If you are a Twisted Metal fan like myself, you were probably crushed when you heard the new Twisted Metal was delayed until next year. But considering it was slated for release the same day as Rage and Dark Souls, maybe it was a good business decision to delay the game. Well, good news for [...]

First footage of Final Fantasy: Theatrhythm

When Final Fantasy: Theatrhythm was first announced, I got genuinely excited. A music and rhythm game that channels the nostalgia of old Final Fantasy games seemed seems so obvious, I’m surprised it took this long to be made. And with its Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents inspired input method cleverly used in RPG styled scenarios, Theatryhthm has [...]

Amazing, right? This could be the title of an Onion article. When Portal designer, Kim Swift, left Valve a couple of years ago to join Airtight Games (developers of Dark Void), I thought… well, I thought she might be insane. But I knew that whatever project she was working would certainly be one to keep [...]

Thumbnail image for 3 new character videos for Anarchy Reigns

After my somewhat sour impressions of the game coming out of E3 2011, I realize now that I may have been looking at this game all wrong. This isn’t a character action game. This isn’t a fighting game. And after seeing the three newly announced characters for Anarchy Reigns, I think I finally know what [...]

So maybe I do care about this new ‘Tales’ game…

Thumbnail image for So maybe I do care about this new ‘Tales’ game…

90 hours! In preparation for ‘Your Way Wednesday’ last night, I came across this shocking number while browsing the memory cards for my Gamecube. This was the number of hours on my Tales of Symphonia save file. I knew I enjoyed Tales of Symphonia, but the game can be beaten in a fraction of that [...]

Wait, that doesn’t make sense. Well, I only played about an hour of the original Marvel vs Capcom 3, which was already filled with many of my dream characters. Wait, that doesn’t make sense either. Why did I play so little of one of my most anticipated sequels ever? Why did I play way more [...]

Thumbnail image for Brad’s Laundry List – In the shadow of Skyrim EDITION

Skyrim is coming, and I’m not ready. It’s pretty pathetic. The year is more than half over and I’ve only beaten 4 games. And one of those I probably could have passed on. My list of unfinished games is also pretty staggering. I’ve noted which of these unfinished games I will probably just skip in [...]

Look at the pitiful room above. This is our new and super boring podcast recording room. I was going to hang up some video game posters, but I realized I don’t own enough to fill these walls. That’s where you all come in. You now have the opportunity to help shape the history of the [...]
