Retro Gaming Over Saturation – Are We There Yet?
July 4th, 2016 Carl Williams It seems that with each new release of hardware in the console and hand held worlds we see re-releases of retro games. Whether these are compilations of classics or single releases themselves. This has been going on since the first follow up console was released in the 1980’s. Companies have been working to monetize past […]

Wacky Wednesday: A Most Illegal Game
June 30th, 2016 Michael Crisman For all the furor that erupts over the release of a game that “crosses the line” in the United States, full bans are never the end result. At most you see the occasional recall (see: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas over the unfinished “Hot Coffee” content) or the ESRB threatening an Adults Only rating to prevent it […]

So Bad It’s Good: Run Like Hell (And Grab Your Bawls)
June 22nd, 2016 Michael Crisman A guy travelling through space arrives at his intended destination to discover nearly everyone on board is dead, and his love interest is missing.

So Bad it’s Good- Turok: Evolution was Intense!
June 7th, 2016 Jordan Tobin Banished to the bargain bins and almost universally condemned by critics, Turok: Evolution is remembered in the public’s eye as the retarded stepchild of the Turok series. Released in 2002 for the PS2 and GameCube, the Xbox port was eventually canceled for North America after reception of the game reached developers. However, some of us […]

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 […]

Today in Gaming History: Aggressive Inline or Tony Hawk’s Eight-Wheeled Skater
August 23rd, 2015 Colby Primeaux Thirteen years ago on August 23, 2002 a game that was very near and dear to my heart as a teenager, Aggressive Inline made its debut. Well technically, that’s when the Xbox version was released. In the United Kingdom and Germany. I had the American PlayStation 2 version which was released on May 29 of […]

Five Games You Need the Japanese Version to Fully Enjoy
July 12th, 2015 Michael Crisman It’s not news to say the Japanese get tons of stuff the rest of the world doesn’t, but at least they throw non-Asian gamers a bone every now and then. Usually this is in the form of a simple port, where all the text is translated and (hopefully) localized for the target market. This localization process […]

Revenge of the License: The Red Star
March 22nd, 2015 Michael Crisman A year before Liberty Prime proclaimed Communism as the very definition of failure in Fallout 3, XS Games unveiled the project they had taken over from Acclaim after that studio went belly-up and declared bankruptcy in 2004. This project had languished in development hell for three years and was released far too late in the […]

Retro Gaming Halloween Style, Part Five: Disaster Report
October 23rd, 2014 Michael Crisman Yeah, yeah, everybody makes their lists about scary, creepy, or flat-out weird games to play each October and we’re not about to buck the trend. But we’re going to assume you’re a retro gamer who’s read enough to know the big franchises everybody else writes about. Because if you’ve picked up a controller in the […]
