If you ask someone to name a great snowboarding game from the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube generation, the only one that should come to mind for any normal person will have ‘SSX’ somewhere in the title.

Bandit Gaming- Microsoft Windows 95 is Being Ported to the Nintendo 3DS
January 2nd, 2016 Carl Williams When Microsoft released Windows 95 it heralded in the easier to use computer age. Prior to Windows 95 there had been plenty of attempts to give the Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) a graphical user interface (GUI). All of those attempts were failures on many levels- most of which was actually getting a significant number […]

10 Classics that Let You Build Your Own Levels before Super Mario Maker
October 3rd, 2015 Carl Williams To say Super Mario Maker is a smash hit release is quite an understatement. The 2D sandbox game had reached a million units sold worldwide in about 20 days, according to reports. This is interesting considering the hell Nintendo constantly gets for the Wii U, something that goes back to the Nintendo 64 days and […]

Volgarr the Viking Ported to Sega Dreamcast, Released for Free with Permission
September 27th, 2015 Carl Williams Volgarr the Viking is a newer 2D side scrolling action adventure for Microsoft’s Xbox and Steam, well it was released almost a year ago but that is still newer than Rygar or Ghouls n Ghosts, right? I mention those two classics because it is quite clear that Volgarr the Viking is taking, at least, visual […]

The 2nd Great Video Game Crash and how it could Be Stopped
September 13th, 2015 Carl Williams The video game industry had a crash in 1983/1984 that nearly ended our favorite pastime for good. During this period there were many gaming consoles available, lots of games and many developers that were popping up out of nowhere and just as quickly disappearing. It was a horrific time for fans of gaming that lived […]

Capcom Announces Arabian Fighter for Street Fighter V on 9/11, and that’s perfectly OK
September 11th, 2015 Adam Nelon So. Nine-Eleven. That infamous moment in American history that even fourteen years later, still seems to ring true in the hearts of many a jingoistic American as one of the most important moments of the 21st Century. While I’m not going to rant about the sociopolitical aspects of this day of remembrance (partially out of […]

Yesterday in Gaming History: “Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2” or “BMX PG”
September 7th, 2015 Colby Primeaux Until its demise in 2004, Acclaim, had the only legitimate claim to be a rival to Activision’s action sports franchise, although with a roster not nearly as deep. What Acclaim lacked in depth, it made up in quality, and yes, I’m pretending BMX XXX never existed. While I thoroughly enjoyed “Aggressive Inline,” and have written […]

Mortal Kombat X Not Coming to Last Gen Consoles, We Look at Reasons Why
August 28th, 2015 Carl Williams You read that headline right, Mortal Kombat X is no longer coming to the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 (Nintendo Wii owners welcome their fellow gamers). It seems that Mortal Kombat X on the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 just didn’t measure up to the quality of the Playstation 4 and Xbox One […]
