PAX East 2011 is in the books and that means the 2011 convention season has officially started. The show was in much roomier venue this year, without any pesky traffic bottlenecks. Yet, the organizers still stuffed the video game section, the show’s main focus, to a corner of the massive complex. The close proximity of [...]

What’s the deal with Ovaltine April 19. We’ve got a literal handful of games coming out on that date, and many of them are top notch properties. The return of Mortal Kombat is tagged with three major sequels and an HD remake to one of last generation’s flagship trilogies. All coming on one freaking day. [...]

Exhibit A: The Double Shoota and its description. The dialog has had me laughing as well.  

November certainly snuck up on us quickly. It was a scant few months ago that the industry decided to throw not two or three worthy titles at our wallet, but four or five. Unbelievably, the end of Q1 2011 is even more tempting than last November, thanks largely to the release of the first mass [...]

January gave me a breather, and I’ve used it wisely, short-lived though it was. February is a dangerous month for twitch games and RPG fans alike. Reality Pump is attempting to make amends after the poorly-designed, -ported, -received Two Worlds. Atlus expects to have another hit on its hands with Radiant Historia, a DS title [...]

Normal resolutions are all well and good, but who would care to hear about those on a gaming blog? I mean, do you really care that I hope to floss “more often” over the course of 2011? Of course not (unless you’re Dr. Veiga DMD). You want to know how I plan to top my [...]

Hmm, only 22 games completed this year. That’s a far cry from the 36 that I completed in 2009. A whopping 39% drop in games completed. I wondered why that was, so I decided to make this post a lot more visual with tasty pie charts. What immediately jumped out was the amount of games [...]

Finally, a breath of air. It’s been a few months since gamers have had more than a few weeks reprise from the video game industry. Publishers went back to their old ways in Q4 2010, leaving the following January with very little to get excited about. There’s a very good chance that, like December, I’ll [...]

For all intents and purposes, 2010 gaming is complete. Sure, there are a few titles left on the radar and sales of certain SKUs will continue to soar until the holidays are closed, but no major releases – for consoles anyway – are coming from any company until Q1 2011 kicks off. This basically gives [...]

Again with the overlapping game purchases, ignoring other games because of time constraints and a moth-filled wallet. It never ceases to amaze me how absolutely packed October till mid-December can be with games, yet it becomes impossible to find a new title to get excited about for weeks on end during the spring and summer [...]
