SubscribeI stumbled upon GamerDNA the other day and thought the concept was pretty neat. Basically it works like Facebook but for the gaming community. One of the activities it uses to build DNA is adding games to a profile, so I took that opportunity to answer the unanswerable: What are my favorite games of all [...]

A Bad Cliche
I’ve been playing Viva Pinata for the DS over the past week, and I just wanted to reap praise on this little title that could. What, you say, little? Hasn’t Rare’s franchise been in the critical limelight for years already? Yes, and well, I thought the original Viva Pinata game for the Xbox 360 was [...]
Ghosts of Christmas Past – 1998
I had just returned from my parents’ house for Christmas with a goggle (is that a word?) of new N64 games but had made plans to visit my friend in Dayton, OH for New Years. The local news was threatening some imminent snowfall to hit the area in the days ahead, but the forecast at [...]
E3 2007: Nintendo and Sony Afterthoughts
Maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m being overly critical of this year’s E3 press events. But on the whole, they are pretty lackluster and without the grandiose fanfare the consoles were pushing the last couple years. It seems like a waste to spend all that money on these big AV spectacles when I can just go [...]
E3 2006 – Slam Dunk Microsoft (And I’m Buying A Wii)
Sony had everything to gain and still found a way to lose. I’m not used to the favorite squandering an opportunity like they did last night. Today’s press conferences were much much better. Nintendo was smart to hold price and date information on the Wii, in order to take some wind out of Sony’s sails [...]
The Best Console Ever
As the twilight of the current generation of consoles starts to fade, I thought I would reflect on gaming’s past. Specifically, what is the best console that has ever been released? My criteria is based on the quantity and quality of software support received, installed consumer base, and additional functionality brought to the gaming experience.
Saying [...]
Sony’s PSP – Filling the Software Valley
Owners of Sony’s PSP handheld wonder have been clamoring for software throughout the summer doldrums. And that has been largely warranted, with less than a few new releases since E3 (MVP Baseball, Midnight Club, and Coded Arms are the only notables). For a system that was so hyped, and showed so much potential, even the [...]
Cracking the Myth – Mario 128
Mario 128
Mario 128 debuted at E3 2000 to much fanfare. After all, Super Mario 64 was a huge system seller for the N64 and a ground-breaking 3D platformer, long considered one of the best, if not the best, platformer ever created. Since that infamous day on September 29, 1996, a day long remembered for [...]
Cracking the Myth – It’s not the size of the Xbox…
The Japanese Xbox Market
It is no secret the Xbox is lagging in the Japanese market. And that’s putting it kindly. There are all sorts of thoughts behind this poor performance. One is that the Xbox catalog is heavy with first person shooter titles, a genre not especially strong in the land of the rising sun. [...]
