Mega Man One-Two Punch

Conspicuous by his absence in Mega Man 9 was the Blue Bomber's chief rival, Bass (like music, not the fish), also known to some as Forte. Mega Man returned with a brand-new game after an 11-year hiatus, and all of his cast was in tow, in some form or fashion-- even...

“The Wrestler” Trailer

And here I thought there weren't any more movies I wanted to see this year. Well, besides 007. Apple's website with a description is here, and the official movie site is here. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

Sonic in “Night of the Werehog”

The trailer for this was originally released just prior to Halloween, when the video itself would have been a good, appropriately holiday-timed release to help build up hype for the game. Instead, three weeks after Halloween and after Sonic Unleashed for the...

GameTrailers Reviews Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

...I have to admit, I'm just curious enough about this one to check it out. Mostly for the story and for the Joker, though. Still, it can't be a good sign for Midway when a parental advisory group rates the newest Mortal Kombat game as fun for the whole family. --LBD...

Street Fighter IV – Gouken vs. Akuma

In the '90s, it was Ryu vs. Ken to determine who was the master of their martial art. Today, with Street Fighter IV, it's now their predecessors who square off, as Akuma battles his brother, the long-thought dead Gouken, Ken and Ryu's master and teacher, for...

North America’s Club Nintendo to Get Game and Watch?

This is just a rumor for now, but it seems the Game & Watch Collection, a Club Nintendo exclusive, has been rated by the ESRB. Could this possibly be related to the North American Club Nintendo? One can hope; I have a copy, thanks to , and I do love it for its Game &...

Mega Man Fan-Film is Looking Sharp

The fan-made Mega Man film by Eddie Lebron is looking pretty good, provided you're able to look at it with an open mind and consider that, for all the little differences there are, Hollywood would probably do far, far worse. The Robot Masters are definitely awesome,...

Happy Second Birthday, Wii!

Just wanted to make a quick note: Today marks the second anniversary of the launch of the Wii, and to give a brief nod of appreciation, I said a few words here. And I planned to say many more words here, but it's gotten late and I wasted too much time making an Avatar...

One of Bionic Commando’s Preorder Bonuses is Really Rad

Someone at Capcom either really loves me, or really hates me. What makes me think they love me? Observe, to your right: One preorder bonus for Capcom's Bionic Commando, due in the middle of February 2009. A metal lunchbox, just like we had back in the 80's, adorned...

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Stupidity

The Switcher is back, and he's moved on from doing YouTube videos of cartoons based on fighting games to one of the most famous (and infamous) cartoon video game adaptations of all time: It's... relatively safe for work. Some beeps are added for humor, and other...

Oldschool Turtle Tribe

Oldschool Turtle Tribe

A few days ago, I posted a news item about some Black Friday sales with a small tease to see if anyone could identify the picture I had used, posted here again for your convenience. The origin, as I knew it, was in the Christmas Sears "Wish Book" catalogs. At least, I...

X-E Reviews Garfield’s Thanksgiving

Over on good ol' X-Entertainment, good ol' Matt has taken the time to give a good ol' review of Garfield's Thanksgiving. It's no small secret that I've been a lifelong fan of Garfield, for better and for worse (though not so much For Better of For Worse). The cartoons...
