So I was skimming the articles at Kotaku today when I came across this gem. Apparently, some columnist working for the San Jose Mercury News wrote up an article detailing his experience with buying a Wii this last Christmas. His dilemma was all of the “hidden prices” that came along with buying a console, such [...]

The 360 gained popularity and staying power when they introduced Netflix to their system in late 2008. Since then, over a million users have added the Netflix application to their system, and for $8.99 USD a month that is certainly one heck of a deal. One year later the PlayStation 3 joined our century and [...]

If you haven’t figured it out by now, Nicole and I essentially live and die by Silent Hill releases.  Sure the gameplay’s not always up to snuff, but the atmosphere is undeniably palpable and the music (for now at least) is top-notch.  This new trailer sure looks promising in the environment department and technically speaking, [...]

Rumors are swirling about that on Sunday, September 27th, consumers across the nation will be able to pick a Nintendo Wii up for the new low price of $199.99 as opposed to $249.99. Perhaps it’s because Sony and Microsoft just slashed their platforms’ prices, or maybe it’s because it’s about freakin’ time they dropped the [...]

So while Nicole and I were at Myrtle Beach The Beatles: Rock Band made its debut without us.  Nicole was positively rabid about playing it and I had high hopes for the game after reading interviews and updates for months about all of the care that had gone into preserving it as a grand entry [...]

Sometimes while I am working at AGS (“anonymous game store”) I read the lists of the new releases and I can’t help but to crack up and wonder what the heck the creators were thinking when they decided on some of their titles. Whether they’re suggestive, silly, or just completely dumb the following titles have [...]

I only wish I could make something like this up. Apparently Amazon’s Punch-Out!! Heavyweight Contender Kit includes a pair of King Hippo shorts that can cause downtown bonanza cancer. You can read more about it over at Kotaku.

As many of you know, Punch-Out!! came out today after being in retirement for quite some time.  Little Mac is back with a slew of his old rivals and a few new ones to keep him on his toes as he fights his way to the top.  Naturally I was more than thrilled with this [...]

Nintendo has never really had a problem marketing its products, but I had to chuckle at this latest commercial featuring a real-life Little Mac and Doc Louis to promote the new Punch-Out!!.  I admit, I never got to play Super Punch-Out!! but I have a lot of great memories of bludgeoning Glass Joe in the [...]

Just in case anyone else was upset and disturbed (grin) by the news that Ghostbusters would be a timed, PS3-exclusive you can put those fears to rest! That is, unless you’re European, where it actually still is a timed exclusive. I probably should have made that a bit clearer, but it’s not as [...]
