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 […]

June 25th, 2017 Michael Crisman Free-roaming sandbox-style games come in all shapes and sizes, and there’s no denying the biggest and best-known developer of the go-anywhere, do-anything chaos simulator is Rockstar.

Revenge of the License: The Thing
October 30th, 2016 Michael Crisman The final installment of this column prior to Halloween saved the best for last. There’s no denying John Carpenter’s “The Thing” from 1982 is a master class in claustrophobic paranoia. Forget the 2011 prequel and turn your attention to the 2002 sequel, developed with Carpenter’s blessing as a continuation/expansion of the events from the movie on its […]

Sega Acquires Technosoft Franchises, Slowly Becoming Another Electronic Arts
September 18th, 2016 Carl Williams Sega is a company that fans REALLY want to love and support but that love and support is more often than not met with lackluster Sonic the Hedgehog games. This bothers a lot of the gaming populace that remember Sega of old. The Sega that released Comix Zone, Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3 […]

Kingdom Hearts Combines Disney Square Enix on PlayStation 2 – September 16th, 2002 – Today in Video Game History
September 15th, 2016 Carl Williams When I first heard about Kingdom Hearts I was a little dismayed. I was, still am, a big Disney fan.
