Yeah, let’s hear it for some good old-fashioned SPORTSBALL, beeyotch!! Look, you either love sports games, or you love to point out how much money EA makes repackaging and re-selling the same game (sometimes literally) to players year after year.

Are Videogames Being Art Stopping Anyone From Purchasing Them?
January 24th, 2017 Dash The Bomber Emotions, expression, and deep thoughts are concepts often invoked by games. Similar notions can be obtained from art such as paintings, films, and sculptures. But are games truly an art? The Internet has been set on fire with this argument with sides arguing for both reasons why videogames are, or are not, considered as such […]

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 […]

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. The problem is, I was coming out of the whole “Square rocks” phase of my gaming life. It was intriguing to see what Square Enix did with a blanket Disney license. Something I am sure […]

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 – Dark Summit Rocked the Slopes
June 14th, 2016 Michael Crisman 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. Anyone who’s first response is Dark Summit, published by THQ in 2001, isn’t in full possession of his faculties. Evidence for this […]
