My wife and I were sick this weekend, so we shuffled down to our local library and checked out some DVDs. One of the DVDs was The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes, which we were surprised to discover is actually a videogame that plays on a normal DVD player and has slightly more interactivity than the […]
This is such a wonderful little game. Treasure just takes a simple mechanic and sees how many different boss fights they can make out of it. No levels, just a dozen good old boss fights (well, there are the filler levels with the giant-breasted women you can snap for extra points, but those are only […]
Many dark aeons ago I wrote a round-up of various doujin fighting games, and one of the games I mentioned was an up-and-coming King-of-Fighters-esque game called Akatsuki BK. Now, Akatsuki BK has been released, and so far it looks like a very strong contender for Melty Blood ReACT’s “best PC fighting game” crown.
The first thing […]
This is an article I’ve been meaning to write for a LONG time, and now I’m finally getting around to it.
Many people are aware that there is no territorial lockout on any of Nintendo’s handhelds, and Japanese Gameboy / Gameboy Advance / DS games work just fine in American Gameboys / Gameboy Advances / DSs […]
This morning, Harmonix announced their next hit game: Rock Band, which combines the guitar and bass gameplay of Guitar Hero with the karaoke gameplay of Karaoke Revolution, and a full drum kit, for a simultaneous, four-player rock band experience! Since the announcement, there has been some concern voiced across the internet as to how gameplay […]
You think “I’ve had about as much fun with pig snot as is reasonably possible”. You fall asleep each night and wake up every morning, content with the belief that there is little to no further joy that you could possibly derive from pig snot. Well, my friend, I’m here to tell you that unless […]
Is this really the same company that made my two favorite consoles, the Playstation and the Playstation 2?
Since our last thrilling installment, Sony has put a $1200 bounty on any PS3s found on store shelves. Simultaneously, and conversely, Sony has said that the reason that there are so many PS3s on store shelves is because […]
For my birthday last week I got Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker, a hypnotic, three-hour, existentialist essay in movie form. My wife and I watched it on Valentine’s Day (not the best choice for Valentine’s Day, but we’d been wanting to watch it and that was as good a night as any). It’s about these three guys […]
Alrighty, since lots of people have contacted me saying that they can’t download games from Platine Dispositif’s website, I’ve gone ahead and mirrored all of their demos and free games. This mirror is temporary, and I don’t know how long it will stay up (that depends primarily on how much downloading there is). If there’s […]
Just a quick note that Platine Dispositif (who, you may remember, I adore) has released one of their older games, Engage to Jabberwock, for free as a Valentine’s gift to their fans. The gameplay is kind of hard to nail down, so I’ll just say that it’s like a bullet-hell Zelda. Go check it out, […]
