Not only was I too lazy to do a real review, I was too lazy to pick out what games to review myself.  So I asked both my private Facebook (friends only, unless you post that you're a fan) and my Twitter followers what five games they'd like to see Micro-Reviewed, i.e. a single sentence review for a title.  I'll probably do more of these in the future, because most of them have been

Well I was hoping to crank out another game review, but there are about three on the backburner that I haven't had a chance to replay (one that's been in limbo for two years now), mostly due to school and life.  Instead, I thought I'd bring to the table a few of my favorite video game magazine advertisements, for various reasons.  Yeah, I'm aware that video game ads have been done by

DragonQuest, formerly called Dragon Warrior in the west, has been a series that's had a very bumpy ride in the US.  When the original entry on the Nintendo Entertainment System was introduced in America, Nintendo ended up giving away the game to subscribers of their official magazine Nintendo Power.  The following three games became nothing more than cult classics in America, while the

Until I figure out what to do with this blog, here are some one-sentence game reviews. Never has my intelligence and ability as a RPG gamer been this offended by a Final Fantasy game since Mystic Quest. Poor man’s Phantasy Star Online, and that’s putting it nicely. Manages to stay fresh even after wading through idiots scribbling “I’m in trouble, please evaluate this

Disclaimer: Let's get this out of the way... Yes. This is the notice for you to flip the disc to the other side to continue playing the game. In the case of you anal retentive video game collectors who want to spout ironic bullshit phrases like "Emulation equals masturbation", it means "get off your buttertroll ass and flip the Famicom Disk to the other side." In the case

Acclaim sure knew how to turn a good property to bile, didn’t they? Who here remembers getting excited over Bart Vs. The Space Mutants only to find that someone threw Bart Simpson on a video game box, took a huge steaming crap inside it, and then packaged and shrink-wrapped it in a box? Yeah, they pretty much did that to every game based on a movie or franchise. But before that, remember Back

Time to do this thing. I'll be uploading older reviews over the course of the next week or two.
