The Need for Speed franchise is one that is still going today. While what gamers play today is completely different than the first game, the idea is still the same. Go fast. On the 3DO console, one that EA had a hand in creating, we saw this franchise kick off. There were problems that marred […]

Electronic Arts Release Command & Conquer Remastered Collection
June 5th, 2020 Carl Williams Command & Conquer was a unique release in the mid 1990’s. Real Time Strategy (RTS) games were not new, just this game took off with fans.

Jade Empire MMO Game in the Works?
February 5th, 2019 Carl Williams It seems that Electronic Arts is signaling a new Jade Empire title is coming. They filed a new trademark for “Jade Empire” late last month.

Populous Review
June 9th, 2018 Carl Williams Sure, today playing god in a game is nothing new. We have plenty of options if this is your one and only goal in your electronic entertainment. Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s though, options were much more limited. Populous took the idea of a sandbox game, mixed in plenty of “god like” […]

The Fifteen Most Difficult Genesis Games (That Are Not Battletoads)
September 7th, 2016 Michael Crisman Last year we held a combination shouting match/kumite among the staff to determine the fifteen hardest NES games, discounting Battletoads. In the end, two things happened. First, you all made it the most-read, most-shared column we’ve ever published–you rock! Second, the local hospital told us if we pulled a stunt like that again, they would ‘accidentally’ […]

Majestic – What the Hell Happened?
August 20th, 2016 Carl Williams Today augmented reality games are all the rage and only getting more popular. We have Pokemon GO, we have virtual reality and we are seeing more immersive gaming experiences arise.

Electronic Arts Gives Gamers Road Rash II on Sega Genesis – July 22nd, 1993 – Today in Video Game History
July 21st, 2016 Carl Williams Road Rash II by Electronic Arts (EA) is one of those early success stories. Forget their current, horrendous, Digital Rights Management (DRM) antics and focus on their past they were quite good. EA were great at picking the right games to publish and developing some cool games of their own. I mean, come on, look […]

Today in Retro Gaming: OverBlood (PS1)
May 22nd, 2016 Michael Crisman Waking up from cryosleep is never fun, but it’s even less enjoyable when you’re dealing with amnesia and hypothermia. This is the situation our protagonist finds himself facing at the beginning of OverBlood, a 3-D Sci-Fi Adventure (just like it says on the package). You know you’re in for a rough stretch when the first […]

WCW Backstage Assault Makes Even Hardcore Fans Board on the Nintendo 64 – December 12th, 2000 – Today in Video Game History
December 12th, 2015 Carl Williams It is no secret that World Championship Wrestling (WCW) had their share of problems. Lack of a deep locker room was not one of them.
