Today’s gaming setup belongs to michiyoyoshiku. He doesn’t say much, but shows off how his setup has evolved in the last couple of years. He has some really nice Arcade sticks. Check out his C-Blog for more pictures.
There were a lot of blogs this past week and hopefully I’ve collected some of the best. Hopefully […]

@Play: Nethack Intensified
Category: Column: At Play | Leave a Comment
[’@ Play’ is a kinda sorta bi-weekly column by John Harris which discusses the history, present and future of the Roguelike dungeon exploring genre.]
“Commercial games cheat for you and against the monsters: The unarmed orc falls to the ground, dying. ‘Whirling Blades of Doom… backpack’, he gasps. ‘Barbecue sauce… left pocket.’
“NetHack plays […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
A new Starcraft 2 trailer has finally been released earlier tonight in Korea. Blizzard showed off the new trailer and GameVideos has the offscreen footage. This time, the Zerg are shown off and they’re ready to make a comeback. A female voice, who is more than likely Kerrigan, tells of what has happened to the […]

Every true gamer is aware of who Sephiroth is. Even if they don’t explicitly know him, they know of him. The silver-haired, katana-wielding antagonist of Final Fantasy VII, the notorious One Winged Angel has been a measuring stick of videogame villainy since he first burned Nibelheim to the ground over ten years ago.
Although he was […]

Vintage Street Fighter II action figure commercials packed with fail
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
While digging through old VHS tapes, I found this cringeworthy Street Fighter II Hall of Fame action figure commercial. I’m guessing this comes from the 1990’s, but I can’t be sure. What I am sure of is that this commercial is packed with so much fail that it’s almost unbelievable.
Where do I start? Oh, with […]

Games of the Week for 03/09/08: Smashing your Brawls edition
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Yeah yeah, blah blah, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. You think I’m impressed? You think I care? So you’re American, you get to make Pikachu electrify Sonic the Hedgehog, big deal. In Britain, we get Peep Show, so we’re the real winners here. Yes … the real winners.
Yes, Sunday’s almost a distant memory, and thank Christ, […]

Alright, so we’re redoing this feature once again! This time it’s simpler and straight to the point. No fluff, just the goods. Ectomo has been added to the recaps as well.
On Destructoid, Ziff goes bankrupt. On Japanator, check out some surprisingly good live action DBZ. On Tomopop, Poison continues to confuse my sexuality. On Poprox, […]

Time to round up the various features and original Q&As we posted on Gamasutra and associated sites this week - and there’s a pretty spectacular amount of noteworthy stuff, actually - including major interviews about XNA (the XNA-using Schizoid pictured!), the PlayStation Network, and Valve’s Steam service.
Also stuck in there somewhere is the ‘Excel […]

RetroforceGO! recording episode 40 tonight: Videogame hype over the years
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Rumor has it some game is coming out this week. Something about Links and Peaches and furries, or links to fuzzy peaches, I don’t know, I haven’t really been paying attention. Anyway, everybody seems to be pretty excited about it, so we thought we’d take a look at videogame hype this week.
Hype, more often than […]

So what are you doing reading this? Is there no Toys R Us, Best Buy, Circuit City, Blockbuster, Wal Mart… ANY store open !? Because you better be just taking a 5 minute break from playing Smash Bros if you are browsing the net.
If you don’t have a Wii still […]
