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 […]
…By fans!
For the NES!
I’m sorry, that was very cruel of me. I know that Final Fantasy VII is the world’s favourite RPG (to poop on). I still retain a lot of affection for it; it was the title that changed video games forever, which is kind of funny to hear if you were into the […]
If there’s one variable I can blame for turning me into a hack writer, it would be the Dragon Warrior / DragonQuest series. Granted, if you come from a journalist family like mine, the writing gene is always inside you, albeit sometimes inactive…like herpes. But just as that STD flares up and says “Hi” every […]
The good people at Neversoft woke up one day and realised they just weren’t bleeding enough money out of the enormously popular Guitar Hero franchise. Their remedy? Guitar Hero Aerosmith, coming to consoles this June.
Will this even pan out? I like Aerosmith, but not a lot beyond a handful of their songs. Will it be […]
Do you love the fact that your living room is a seething tangle of cords and game systems? Oh man, who doesn’t. But for those who might want to flee when their apartment is on fire versus tripping over things and dying, backwards compatibility is an issue. When you buy a new system, it’s extraordinarily […]
