While Dong Nyugen is better known […]

December 8th, 2014 Carl Williams Ah, Super Mario 64, the classic Nintendo game that sold one to one with the Nintendo 64 at launch- a feat not matched since.

August 9th, 2014 Carl Williams Alien Front Online was the gamification of yet another Sega screw up. This game was probably one of the worst launches in history.

Twisted Metal 2 Gives PlayStation Fans More Destruction – October 31st, 1996 – Today in Video Game History
October 31st, 2020 Carl Williams Twisted Metal 2 was, for me, the title that put SingleTrac on the radar. Sure, they did the first Twisted Metal game, also on PlayStation, I somehow missed it upon release. At the time of release, there was simply not much competition in the vehicular combat genre in gaming. At least not on this level. […]
