As of today, I no longer own any video game consoles or associated games. I sold all of that stuff to Lost Ark Video Games in Greensboro, NC. Well, actually, I do still own a Xbox 360, because Lost Ark wouldn't buy the old fat model, a Playstation 2, which I didn't even take out there to bother to try to sell because it was already on its last ( Read more... )

Physical disc/cartridge games, that is. I'm not even talking about digital stuff on Steam or GOG or whatever. A bunch of old shit that I'll almost assuredly never play again. Some are duplicates, even. For instance, I own three copies of Chrono Trigger (original SNES, Playstation, and DS versions). Hell, some of the games are stuff that I've ( Read more... )

I was playing Metroid Prime the other day, and I was going through the crashed frigate, most of which is underwater. After the third or fourth trip back through this level, I was thinking something along the lines of "Man, the only thing I like about this level is the music." That's when the lightbulb for the idea of this post appeared over my ( Read more... )

Just the music. There's a whole lot of it, this time, just whatever came to ( Read more... )

(It's lunchtime at work, it's hotter than hell in this office, and I'm bored and already counting the hours until it's time to go home. So I'm going to knock this thing out now.)

As requested by Mord, here is a review for Viewtiful Joe, which I got from him back in February.

I took the bus for the mile and a half or so it takes to get to work this morning, because it is putting it down out there right now. (For once... oh wait, it supposedly rains here all the time, what am I thinking?) If it's still doing this in the evening, I'll probably take the bus back as well ( Read more... )

I'm tired of ordering games from EBGames.com and then having them send me copies that don't actually workThis time, it was a used (because they didn't have any new ones anymore, apparently, or I would have ordered that instead) copy of Soul Calibur 2 for the GameCube. On both my Wii and my GameCube, the game is getting disc read errors out of the ( Read more... )

Eagerly-awaited Gamecube title The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will mark the end of an era for the hit series, according to a transcript of a recent radio interview with Shigeru Miyamoto.

"This will be, without a doubt, the last Zelda game as you know it in its present form," Miyamoto is quoted as saying.This could be a good thing, if it ( Read more... )

I put down $5 on the limited edition of Jade Empire for X-box. In addition to that, I picked up Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I would have also gotten Minish Cap, but they didn't have any in stock ( Read more... )
