  • iPod Games, You're Doing It Wrong

    Like it or not, the iPod/iPhone has become a gaming platform. There are tons of statistics out there and I'm not going to bore you with them, but the fact is a lot of people are making games for the iPod and a lot of people are downloading and playing them. This post is not about educating the blog-reading public so much as a friendly word of ...

  • Whatcha Playing: Earth Day Edition

    April 22nd, the day we all take off from work and gather at our local mosques and synagogues to solemnly pay respects to our mother Earth on the anniversary of her creation... or something. So do your part and take your game time today away from blasting zombies and chainsawing aliens in half, instead playing games all about helping mother Earth. ...

  • The Curious Appeal of Effing Hail

    Much like digital distribution on the current generation of consoles and handhelds has brought us charming, unique, and thrilling game experiences that would absolutely not survive in a retail environment, digital distribution of independant computer games allows us to become audience to gaming concepts that would likely never survive in ...

  • Conspiracy Theory: Assassin's Creed II Protagonist's Telling Name

    Assassin's Creed was the first game I played from beginning to end on a high-definition gaming console. It was kinda pretty, it was kinda fun, it was a whole lot of boring, but it did show a lot of really cool ideas, which is why I'm actually sort of excited about the upcoming sequel. The long-teased and only recently-confirmed ...

  • At Least PopCap Has A Sense Of Humor

    PopCap Games knows how to make crowd-pleasing casual PC time-wasters. Their back catalog of bonafide hits includes Bejeweled, Zuma and Peggle. Their next release is the rather hilariously titled Plants vs. Zombies. Let's let that concept settle for a moment, shall we? PLANTS VERSUS ZOMBIES As PopCap has never excelled in originality, but ...

  • My Night At DJ School With Rhythm Heaven

    I've written about Nintendo's Rhythm Heaven and its predecessor Rhythm Tengoku a couple of times before. I love them, they are my ideal games. Nintendo did not need to do anything fancy to get me excited about the game's long-awaited western release, and yet they were kind enough to invite me to their DJ School event hosted at Scratch ...

  • Jimmy Fallon Making Good On His Promise To Gamers

    When it was first announced that Jimmy Fallon would be taking over Late Night, I was unenthused. I never found Fallon to be funny or charming in his past work, and the flight to Florida wherein I watched him and Queen Latifa in Taxi was the longest and most uncomfortable two hours in my recent life to not involve work or girls. When he confirmed ...

  • Handjobs for Homebrew: Brawl Stage Studio

    If you're like me, you probably subscribed to Masahiro Sakurai's Smash Bros Dojo blog hyping the release of Super Smash Bros Brawl over a year ago. On a daily basis, Sakurai and company revealed fun new features of the game, some of which were standard and blasé and some of which were mind-blowingly awesome. The two most amazing, without a ...

  • Chiptune Friday - Mega Man vs. Memphis Bleek

    Hip hoppers love video games, there's no denying it. More than any other genre of music, the hip hop community outright loves video games. Sure, Soulja Boy might not be the spokesperson we all want for either form of entertainment,  but at least he's being open and honest about our shared nerdery. This is why Tae K's Mega Man ...

  • Fun Fact: Secrets of the DSi

    Though I've had my new Nintendo DSi for almost two days now, I've only had a few hours of playtime so far. Overall I am very impressed with the upgrades and the new features. A few minor features in particular have caught my attention that I don't think I've seen mentioned elsewhere. For your benefit, here's what I've ...
