SubscribeThe title was derived from the phrase, “a day late and a dollar short.” Between work and home life, blog life has been a distant memory. But at least now I can share my thoughts on The Watchmen to all of you who have decided not to see it based on the million other thoughts [...]

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 [...]
Game of the Month
What if all movie reviews were like this?
After nearly 20 years of anticipation, George Lucas finally whets the appetite of millions of fanboys worldwide with the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to theaters everywhere. Although this latest installment has it’s share of issues, it proves absence makes the heart grows fonder [...]
Spidey’s a Stinker
Or, “How to Kill a Franchise in Two-and-a-Half Hours.”
Or, “Goodbye, Hobbit.”
Or, “Why the Blu-ray fight just got a whole lot tougher.”
Like most of America, I plunked down my hard-earned cash and valuable free time to watch this disaster of a movie. And after the smoke of the box office rush has settled, it sounds like [...]
Earth Defense Force Rocks*
I started writing this post about the awesomeness that is Earth Defence Force 2017 a few weeks ago, but after my play session yesterday I’m compelled to finish it. Before, my thoughts were how EDF was the greatest Xbox Live Arcade game that never hit XBLA, and how its pick-up-and-play nature was just what I [...]
Short Legs for Viva Pinata
Yesterday I was cleaning up my gaming room, and I did something pretty drastic – I put Viva Pinata back on the shelf. Since Christmas, I’ve been playing this one near-exclusively, with the exception of the random online and XBLA diversion. And even though I’ve had my complaints about the gameplay, I’ve always given it [...]
Gunpey – Seeing Shapes Like the First Time
Among the trifecta of PSP puzzle games from Q Entertainment, Gunpey probably garnered the least pre-release hype. Lumines II was the obvious attention-grabber, having been one of the surprise hits of the PSP’s catalog; and Every Extend Extra getting sloppy-seconds from its E3 2006 exposure. Yet Gunpey sat like the neglected middle child, just waiting [...]
How Much Hate Does Japan Have Toward the Xbox?
Just an interesting observation:
Shadow the Hedgehog got a 32/40 from Famitsu. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory for the Xbox got a 31/40.
Go figure…
Been Played – Phantasy Star Online (Dreamcast)
EGM, in celebration of their 200th issue, have published an article listing “The Greatest 200 Videogames of Their Time”. In actuality, it’s pretty much a list of the greatest videogames of all time. since it even includes Pong (number ten).
Now, before I go on, I have to say that I love lists, and most of [...]
Perfect Dark Zero (Xbox 360)
I don’t know what’s more important – the fact that the Xbox 360 has such a great game in Perfect Dark Zero (PDZ) at launch, or that Rare was able to pull it together with their backs against the wall. Either way, it’s good for us gamers.
I have to say I wasn’t that impressed with [...]
