April 19th, 2015 Carl Williams To say that Psychonauts had a storied development would be kind of an understatement. What started out in the wild world of the classic LucasArts title Full Throttle expanded. The game nearly died and was revived again by the hands of one man, Tim Schafer.

March 22nd, 2015 Carl Williams God of War made me take notice of the PlayStation 2 console. I knew of the PS2 prior to God of War but it was more passive interest for me. Controlling this guy that was to take on the Greek gods was just too cool a game to pass up. What Sony was doing here […]

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Hits Consoles – November 14th, 2002 – Today in Video Game History
November 14th, 2013 Carl Williams To say the Harry Potter books were a success would be quite an understatement, to say the least. Based on the second book in that children’s series, Chamber of Secrets was quite different on portables than it was on consoles.
