Last I had wrote up on GameFly, it was to announce that a brand new Tampa distribution center was opening. I remember the Pittsburgh or Texas news, which left me with no difference in turnaround time for games that I had noticed, still, I stick with this service because I am usually either […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Our pals over at I-Mockery have unearthed an arcade game that, thankfully, was never released to the general public. The game is called Tattoo Assassins and it was designed to compete with Mortal Kombat. The game was made by Data East’s pinball division in a period of eight months before getting canceled.
As far as the […]

The Memory Card .24: The assimilation of Kerrigan
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Certain videogame genres are known for not possessing rich or complex stories. These genres usually focus entirely on action and gameplay, ignoring even a basic narrative structure (which is not necessarily a bad thing). But what happens when an established genre surprises the player by including some interesting characters one can actually (gasp!) grow to […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Unable to hold back their giddy excitement at unleashing what is almost certainly going to be hailed as the best game of ‘08 (if not all time), Legacy Interactive has released a downloadable version of their PC sim Farm Vet.

Booyah: we’ve officially reached episode 42. I can now die more or less secure in the knowledge that Podtoid has now, in a sense, achieved something noteworthy. This is exactly as pathetic as you think it is. Head to the official Podtoid page and experience said pathetic-ness for yourself.

French modular lighting system is an homage to dot-chomping
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
This makes all the modular lighting solutions I’ve seen before look kind of bland. French company Remake has gone above and beyond on this homage to Pac-Man. This would be cool enough if it was a solid piece, but the pieces can be arranged to your taste, allowing you to set the scene however you […]
