Spyro, the little purple dragon that could, is not as popular as he was during his Playstation heydey. His movie debut is therefore being met with mixed reactions somewhere along the lines of, “Oh, how cute!” and “Who gives a rip?”
Kotaku reminds us that the movie (which will be computer animated, unsurprisingly) will likely have […]

My short-lived experiment playing Dance Dance Revolution with two dance pads has been ended while I still have my skull intact.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to jump from pad to pad when both are situated on a hardwood floor. Especially a hardwood floor covered with cat hair. You wouldn’t know it, but that […]

My dear friends, I realise that we’re often shafted by God, destiny, and the politicians that we elect. The world can be a dark, cruel place that is not kind to you or the peanut butter cookies that you bake (”God dammit, why did they all stick together?!”).
However, we must remain positive and remember that […]

Although I hardly choose to believe it, we’ve finally broken winter’s back. Birdsong and soft air now usher in a well-earned age of spring. I can actually play outside again, but I think I’ll keep up my Dance Dance Revolution regimen.
In fact, I’m thinking of using two dance pads. Am I ready for this monumental […]

Let’s all say hi to Mike, the editor for the b5media video games channel. He is cool. He is made of candy. He will be my co-blogger for PSMonger, so you’ll see him making posts alongside me. That is the nature of a co-blogger.
As for me, I will still be here. I’ll also be opening […]

Kombo.com has a great feature acknowledging a little fact the rest of us are half-ignoring: The Playstation 2 is alive and well. It’ll be some time before its spark dies (’Til the Day All Are One, etc).
The Playstation 2 is small. It’s affordable. It’s–well, I don’t want to say “hardy”, ’cause it’s not. Regardless, I […]

The ad for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 is nicely done. A little derivative of the now-famous ads for another popular shooting game, but we’ll look the other way this time:
I love shopping near closing time, and today as a fellow was closing up a music store, he took in his Vegas 2 standee […]

In deepest darkest Texas, a boy shot his friend in the head while they were playing video games. The media report is careful to point out that the boys were playing a video game called “God of War.”
Who wants to start taking bets that the people in charge of writing this story have no idea […]

I think DragonQuest VIII’s most delightful attribute (aside from everything) is the brilliant localisation the game’s recieved. It takes a special job to make me associate Dragon Quest, a series that’s as Japanese as a series can get, with British characters and dialect.
Here’s where the moaning comes in. “Oh no! The purity of the original […]

Jeremy Parish of Gamespite hosts an online zine that’s pretty excellent. I also owe him two goats and a cow, but that’s another story.
I wanted to point out this month’s issue for an excellent summary of a long-forgotten RPG, Breath of Fire V (sub-branded as “Dragon Quarter”). The summary is written by Gamespite forum resident […]
