Wartech: Senko no Ronde figure now available from Max Factory
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
While I’ve been on the less popular end of a lot of arguments regarding the quality of Senko no Ronde as a videogame, (I found it overly-tech on the fighting side and chokingly restrictive on the shmup side), there’s no arguing about the quality of its distinct and wonderful character design.

THQ Holiday Junket: Deadly Creatures impressions
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
Last week, I headed out to the Royalton Hotel in midtown Manhattan — yes, the same one that’s mentioned in Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five — for the 2008 THQ Holiday Junket (and no, I have no idea why they called it that, either).

Man, I want this hat. If I didn’t know for sure that I look like a douchelord in all hats, I would actually order one today, but I know once I got it home I’d look in the mirror and cry. Some people are just meant to look like a walking penis in pretty much […]

American McGee’s Grimm has a delightful intro song
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I might not be the biggest American McGee fan, but I can never pass up a good videogame intro song. Needless to say, the opening number for American McGee’s Grimm does not fail on that front.
The concept of turning family-friendly fairy tales into their original, dark forms is an interesting one, but I haven’t seen […]
