Following in the success of Mega Man 9, Capcom has decided to release another sequel in the style of the old NES Mega Man games: Mega Man 10 (Not to be confused with Mega Man X) Can’t wait. Though I will be avoiding easy mode, its existence will appease the people who thought Mega Man [...]
Ok, yeah, I know, I’ve not been updating this blog too frequently. I really should have written this entry a month ago, when the following announcement was made on the Spike Video Game Awards 2009: Not included in the announcement was the fact that Demiurge Studios was working on Green Day: Rock Band. And I [...]
Ok, so that’s not quite how the lyrics for Kenny Rogers’ The Gambler go, but it’s an amusing case of misheard lyrics. The Gambler is just one of 21 great country songs you’ll find in the brand new Rock Band Country Track Pack, available now for the PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii. Enough with [...]

I went to turn it on, and….it didn’t. Most RRoDs are caused by overheating; I generally keep my 360 well-ventilated, [...]
After a long wait, Brothers in Arms: Double Time finally came out this past Tuesday on the Wii. I’m not really a fan of war games or of first person shooters, so why do I care? Well, it’s my first game credit — I was a developer on it during the summer of 2007 when [...]
Mega Man 9 just came out yesterday for the Wii Virtual Console. It’s an old-school 2D platformer in the style of the original Mega Man series (MM1-6), with 8-bit graphics and sounds. The developers even made some promotional box art, reminiscent of the original Mega Man box art. Unfortunately, since the game can only be [...]
If you have an Xbox 360 and you don’t have Braid, go get it now. Not ready to spend the $15, which is more than worth it? Download the demo, and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Braid is a completely novel platforming puzzle game in which you can control the flow of time, forwards [...]
Spoiler warning: This post contains spoilers for Metal Gear Solid 2. Read at your own risk. I just finished beating Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty last night, and boy is it a fantastic game. I played the first Metal Gear Solid during the summer of 2005 (yeah, I know I’m a little late [...]
