There are many heroes in Castlevania, but who best represents the series?

‘What does he have to do with Nintendo?’ More than you might think.

Well, I don’t think anyone quite saw this one coming.

Hmm, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, hasn’t it? And for good reason: In the intervening time, I’ve been sick, gone to Otakon, gone to the beach, and when I haven’t been otherwise preoccupied, pickings have been slim, particularly on the work front, though that may be changing soon. Still, here’s […]

First there was Microsoft’s press conference, then there was Sony’s, and now Nintendo’s… sort of.

Wow, it’s been a little while since I last shared my reviews from elsewhere with you guys. Time to fix that! On Slide to Play: Rayman Jungle Run – Undoubtedly the best of the lot. If you have an iPhone, I cannot recommend this any more highly. And yes, the theme from the trailer above […]

Nothing too big here, but I made a bit of an oversight in my “Building a Better Mario Kart” article from a couple of days ago, and I have just finished adding it in. If you wanted to know without reading (or re-reading the whole thing), I added two items to the end: One is […]
