“In November 1972 they would release Pong, the first hit arcade video game. Nothing else in gaming and entertainment would ever be the same again.” These words hold so much truth. Pong is probably what I would call the purest video game, in that it is a game that is played digitally, with nothing extraneous …

Here’s a nice little informative video about our favorite web-head’s introduction into the gaming universe. Of course, I’m kind of too young to remember any of these, but I remember my Spider-Man game being for the Sega Genesis and being impossibly hard. The first one I actually liked though was the adaptation from the first …

Now that’s what I call evil. Still, got to feel bad for everyone involved. Except Mario.

Coincidentally called Blink, a game that takes the same kind of innovative mechanic idea like Portal, but adds an action-stealth combat system. Here’s a 7 minute gameplay demo that really drives home the point on how this student game from USC can look so professional. Also, be sure to check out their website for more …

I remember having the Sega Game Gear. I was really young, so I think that even though color and back lighting was really cool, the games never felt like they were up to par with what the consoles had to offer. For example, I had a Sonic game and it never felt as fast or …

Get More: GameTrailers.com, Kingdom Hearts 3D – Flowmotion Trailer HD, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 Hey. Do you have a 3DS? Have you not downloaded the Kingdom Hearts Demo? No? Why not!?! One problem I’ve had with the Kingdom Hearts games is that outside of combat, moving has been slow and maddening, especially when …

Get More: GameTrailers.com, Pach-Attack! – PC Gaming Growth HD, PC Games, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 On the topic of cheat codes, one reason why I think they’ve fallen out of use is because of trophies and achievements. It use to not matter how one went about playing their game. If they wanted to have all …

I’ve been playing a lot of Skyrim again lately, with a brand new character and taking advantage of the Steam Workshop to tweak followers, graphics, and spells. It’s loads of fun and so when I saw this image I just had to share it.

So what happens when you create a game full of licensed characters that ends up being really fun but you can’t make a buck off of it? Why you create an entirely new game based around the premise of a bunch of characters with vastly different abilities going through the same levels. If you haven’t …

This sounds more like a march off into battle from Brutal Legend than a quirky little ocarina song that is used to change the weather. I always love covers like this because it sounds completely different from the original but you can still hear the melody of the source.

Hey it’s Sonic the Hedgehog’s birthday today. Yep, 21 years of Sonic goodness and as I sit back I think back to what made the little blue hedgehog so great. I got to admit that when it comes to Sonic games, I’m pretty strange. I want to see more of Sonic’s friends and the cool …

Things are looking pretty grim for our main character after he embarrasses himself at the scrimmage. Also, I thought they said at the beginning of this series that it’s all about the game, and so far I’m not seeing that. I’ve seen it be about belittling people and being the best. Heck, the only person …

Disappointed that we haven’t seen a whole lot of Animal Crossing 3DS info after first being revealed over a year ago. Well, the Japanese Nintendo Direct finally gave us a video and some more information. It looks like, besides new body proportions, new music, etc, that this Animal Crossing will have vastly differing landscape that …

Woot. Nintendo Direct had a lot of cool 3DS information and I honestly can’t wait for more. Some initial thoughts: – 3DS XL seems like an odd choice. For one, it hasn’t been too long since the 3DS came out and dropped its price. It just seems to be going by so fast. – Fire …

It’s Mario played on wineglasses. There really needs to be some kind of video that puts all of these strange Mario covers together into a symphony of strange Mario covers.
