The only way I can ever accept a Metal Gear Solid movie is if David Hayter has some major involvement with the project. Sure, the movie will still turn out to be crap, but it won’t be as crappy.

The start of the affair: Final Fantasy Tactics
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
When I was a young child, game consoles were basically a babysitter for me. I didn’t really throw fits or do anything that would be considered destructive, and so my parents felt comfortable leaving me alone with books and games, since they didn’t feel it’d have some great detrimental effect on me.

Today, comedian George Carlin passed away at the age of 71.
This was shocking on two levels. One, we kind of liked that guy; he was funny, and he’ll be missed. Two, we remember when he was not 71. We’re really feeling our mortality today, so we missed all of this crap:
You know that Metal Gear […]

Well, I tried my hardest to make this week’s theme be George Carlin, but all I could think of were the games Earthbound and Thomas the Tank Engine. Speaking of dirty words, you might have a few to leave in the comments because last week was the first time I stumped you guys in months!

‘Beatles-themed’ music videogame in the works, I prepare to go into debt
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
I know that I’ve already caught some flak for my taste in music, so I figure I might as well say ‘screw it’ and go for broke: in my (not-so-humble) opinion, The Beatles are the greatest band of all time. There, I said it. I’m a tremendous fan of the four Liverpudlians and what they […]
