Not long after the Xbox One event, Kotaku published an article about what the Japanese market thought of the new console. The Xbox has traditionally never done as well as Japanese-born Sony or Nintendo products, and so it’s interesting to get their perspective on a console that doesn’t seem to care about them at all. …

Sigh, so I don’t really care about the Batman Arkham games. I was kind of liking Arkham City until I realized that a lot of it was just going from point A to point B in a mostly empty city. When word first leaked that the next game was a prequel called Arkham Origins I …

If anyone ever tells you that Cloud’s Buster Sword is unrealistic…they’re right! Holy moly this thing is huge and unsurprisingly, it weighs a lot. I think I might ask him to make Nightmare’s Soul Edge.

So, about that Xbox One. Yeah, let’s talk about that. I think the general consensus is that the presentation, and everything after it, was a complete and utter mess. That isn’t to say that the new Microsoft console didn’t have some great highlights, it just lost more points than earned them, at least with me. …

GameTrailers In case you missed it yesterday, here’s the Xbox event where the newest Xbox was officially revealed.

Smooth McGroove’s take on what I hear is the best chiptune song in NES history. I definitely see why so many people enjoy this song, it’s just so full of energy and action and it’s so upbeat. A lot of old school games used their music to make you really excited to be where you …

Some interesting little tidbits behind one of the best N64 games to come out. I love hearing about the inspiration for some of these games, and who would have guessed that Star Fox had so much history grounded in reality. Also, I think I know the reason why I love the Star Fox series so …

While I do have a lot of different experiences with the Xbox 360, it’s hard for me to pick out a favorite one. Mainly because I don’t own one, but also because most of the games I’ve played on it were multiplatform and my friend just bought them for the 360. I mean I still …

It seems that indie games are definitely approaching the quality of GCN/PS2 era games, and that’s a good thing because some of those games had a perfect blend of technology and design. I’m definitely going to keep all the game from this video on my radar, if they weren’t already.

You know why there were so many amazing games based on cartoon franchises in the early 90′s? They pretty much didn’t care about the franchises they were based on. They had the freedom to do whatever they wanted basically. That being said, it doesn’t surprise me that a platformer like this is awful, but I …

Pach-Attack! 1) Kinect is Bundled in Every Box This is what I’ve been saying should happen. You want to know why we have seen some pretty innovative things with Wii U Gamepad and Wii Remote? It’s because those were bundled with their respective consoles. Everyone had it. You know why we saw less with the …

John Carpenter has been talking to the press recently and he wants people to know about the thing he is falling in love with. Carpenter wants to make a Dead Space movie. Yup, Dead Space. Actually, I won’t crap on this news. I like it, but as a full movie the story of Dead Space …

Now this is cool. Despite it’s totally (mostly) awesome soundtrack, I’m a bit surprised I don’t come across more Sonic Adventure 2 covers. This medley includes the songs from City Escape, Dry Lagoon, Prison Lane, Cosmic Wall and then finishes with the theme to the game Live and Learn. If you were to tell me …

Vsauce3 recently released a video that featured 4 video game demakes that I think might interest everyone. These games include demakes of Halo, Super Smash Bros., Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead. They’re kind of cool, though I think for most of these, the benefits of modern video game technology and design. For example, …

What I like about this cosplay is that it’s really simple, yet is unusual. It’s Samus Aran, but not the normal Zero Suit one, but the version from the original Metroid when you use the Justin Bailey cheat. This cosplayer, Linda Le, really pulls off a stunning job, with some great details that brings …
