Here is a look at a few more great Fatalities from the Mortal Kombat series - this time, from Mortal Kombat 4, Deadly Alliance, and Deception. (more…)

What would Mortal Kombat be without Fatalities? It’s safe to say that the ability to perform these gory finishing moves after defeating your opponents has always been one of the more appealing attributes of this classic franchise, and it certainly contributed to its success.

For the hell of it, let’s take a look at a few of my favorite Fatalities from the first Mortal Kombat to MK 3: (more…)

Just to shake things up a little bit, I’d like to share with you what I consider to be the worst old school games I’ve ever played. I absolutely hated these games and if you happen to have copies of them lying around, I implore you to dispose of them immediately, preferably by burning them…

Without further adieu, here are my least favorite old school games: (more…)

A couple weeks ago, Guinness World Records compiled a list of what they considered to be the top 50 console games in history, based on “initial impact and lasting legacy.”

Ranked at number one is none other than Mario Kart for the Super NES. Alright, I won’t dispute the greatness of this franchise, and its success certainly resulted in the production of numerous sequels and countless rip-off games. But should it be ranked number one? I’d have to say no. (more…)

The title is pretty self-explanatory. Major props to anyone that has owned all of these consoles. In fact, major props to anyone that has even owned most of them. Enjoy the video, it’s pretty informative, albeit not very flashy.

Although the full version has been out for a while now, I recently tried the Sonic Unleashed demo for the Xbox 360. Not expecting much, I was actually really impressed. The demo was included in a disc from OXM, and to be honest, I wasn’t overly interested in trying it. A couple nights ago while trying to figure out what I wanted to play, I said “what the hell” and launched the demo.

Now, Sonic Unleashed certainly doesn’t hold a candle in my eyes compared to the classic Genesis titles. But I would have to say that it’s definitely a step in the right direction. To my amazement, I enjoyed it and I’m interested in playing more.

Generally speaking, the graphics are very modern and 3D. While there are sections that sport full 3D or third person movement, there are also some parts where the camera shifts to an angle reminiscent of the old 2D games. To my delight, you can only navigate left or right, or basically, side-scroll. These parts look brilliant, sporting modern HD visuals, while creating a similar experience and feel as the old Genesis classics. Throw in a few old school sound effects, and for a brief moment I remembered how it felt to be ten years old in awe of the blazing speed and gorgeous graphics offered by Sonic games. (more…)

Also known as Bust-a-Move, this is probably the most fun puzzle game ever created. Anyone who has played this game before is aware of how addicting it can be, so I hope you’ve got a free day to waste once you start. If not, best if you leave now and come back when you have some spare time, else you’re going to miss those plans of yours tonight.

The controls are pretty simple. Use the arrow keys to guide your shot, and push the space bar to fire. And you know the rules: Match three bubbles of the same color to make them disappear. Once they’re all gone, you’ve cleared the round.
