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 […]
Mike, who maintains FPS Rantings (and is the esteemed editor of b5’s video game channel) put out a meme asking some of us bloggers what our desktops are like. Looks like my husband just recently changed ours, so behold:
This can’t be Mega Man X artwork. Everyone looks too happy.
Mind that this is only the desktop […]
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 […]
I don’t know anything about this pic’s original context. Some husbands coyly leave flowers for their wife, whereas mine just saves weird stuff to the desktop.

Here’s a real blast from the anti-piracy past. This delightful gallery of comics features gold-hearted gamers reporting scoundrels who are copying A+ titles like “See It, Shoot It” instead of shelling out their cigarette and beer money for quality entertainment.
Hah, lookit them change the world for the better with their smug smiles, lifted chins and […]
On Thursday I learned that, to my complete surprise, I would be attending the latest Toronto production of Video Games Live. This interfered with my usual Saturday pastime, which is sitting alone in my underwear and crying (just kidding; I do wear a shirt), but I figured my heart would go on.
I was right. Video […]
My husband and I recently acquired a copy of Capcom Classics Collection volume 2 for the Playstation 2. It’s a good thing to have, since his name is in the credits as a “Special Thanks” (he contributed some of the questions to the updated Quiz and Dragons game).
Arcade collections normally entertain me for about ten […]
If I were capable of naming my favourite game, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night would probably have to engage in a battle royale with Mega Man X, Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy VI. I’ve unlocked Symphony of the Night in Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles and I haven’t returned to Rondo of Blood since. […]
Thanks to the generosity of a good friend, I now own Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP. It was technically a Christmas present, but thanks to my own impatience, it’s since become a Now present.
Thinking of buying? The first thing you should know is that Dracula X Chronicles is a fantastic value. For […]
The elements are having a pissing contest above us. About five or six inches of snow was dumped last night, and it rained through most of today, turning everything into mush. In a day or two everything’ll freeze, and setting foot outside will be a deadly affair. I normally take long walks as a means […]
PlayStation Monger delivers all things PlayStation: PS2, PS3, PSP--even the original PlayStation! It’s all relevant.
