I’ve been playing and collecting video games since the early 1980’s, and while there’s something to be said for enjoying the greats of the gaming world, there’s no better feeling for me than picking out something I’d never heard of, throwing it into my system, and being unable to tear myself away from it because […]

Forever Alone on Story of Seasons?
February 9th, 2017 Dash The Bomber Story of Seasons, formerly known as Harvest Moon, is a game about farming and marriage. Many gamers will remember their first spouse as probably their favorite one, and have fond memories of the courtship process.

Import Review: Xenosaga I+II (DS)
September 13th, 2016 Jason Pettit Xenogears is my favorite game of all-time, and I was also a huge fan of the spiritual successor on the PS2, Xenosaga.

Revenge of the License: Densha de Go! Series
October 4th, 2015 Michael Crisman Here’s a new twist for this column. Instead of looking at a game that takes its inspiration from a comic, film, television show, cartoon, or book, today I’m going to look at a series which licenses its game play from the best source on Earth: real life. In this case, miles and miles of railroad […]

Inazuma Eleven 2: Blizzard—Soccer Ball Z
August 9th, 2015 Adam Nelon Ah, Association Football—the sport of the world. Known to most simply as Football (except in countries like Australia and the United States, which both refer to it as Soccer for the sake of not confusing it with their own respective versions of Football), it is a remarkably simple game which has often been seen as […]

Game Hack: Super Mario Bros 64 DS Becomes Sunshine 64 DS
February 6th, 2015 Carl Williams The Super Mario Bros franchise has been a hit for Nintendo, which is a fact. There is no doubting that Nintendo’s overall success has been greatly influenced by their little Italian plumber. Even though Mario is huge for Nintendo, that doesn’t mean that his exploits always reach the platform that fans would like them to. […]

Bandit Gaming: Aperture Science DS (Portable Portal)
September 21st, 2013 Carl Williams This post is from Gaming on Nintendo: Portal is obviously a successful series, one that holds the distinction of being the first to make this writer actually upgrade the old computer to something newer that could run a recent title.
