Method to the Madness

Read a few interesting bits while out today…

One being a rumor in EGM that Guitar Hero II may have the Mega Man theme included, among other "classic" tracks. Would certainly be interesting. In Play, they did a bunch of interviews, including Inafune. It was mostly about his new games, though a question came up, I...

Method to the Madness

Ha-RUMPH!

Since they haven't put out a new Rad Racer, Ehrgeiz, Bushido Blade, or Illusion of Gaia in forever and a decade, I can gleefully say that I don't feel the least bit conflicted in calling Square-Enix cheesef***ing assmonkeys. LBD "Nytetrayn"

Here Comes The Money…

o/~ Ching Ching Bling Bling Cut the Chatter You ain't talking money Then your talking don't matter... o/~ I really don't know what else to say with this. Except, can I get that for a DS Lite? LBD "Nytetrayn"

Metroidvanias

Toastyfrog is in the process of creating his own game, and in this process, he has been exploring the free-roaming 2-D exploration-type genre, often simplified as "Metroidvania" type games, as of late. To that end, he has begun a new series(?) of pieces looking back...

His Eyes Are Upon You

Wow, I'm so conflicted about Left Behind, Christian game with more spyware than a James Bond flick. "Even the consistently cranky crack-pot, Jack Thompson, has come out in opposition of the game due to game elements like goat-footed demons emerging from UN...

Happy (belated) Birthday, Sonic!

The Top Hog turned 15 yesterday. Here's to 15 more. ...and Sonic 1 for the GBA? Nift. Probably be better if it were a nice Sonic 3 & Knuckles game, maybe with Sonic 2, but no complaints. If you're into the GameTap scene, then they're running a sort of Sonic Special...

Would you buy a used game from these gentlemen? I didn't think so. LBD "Nytetrayn"

No Kidding

Toastyfrog doesn't like Alex Kidd. Me, I think he needs some slight reinvention. Sort of like Kid Icarus, but not. This piece does bring up an interesting point, though. A lot of the blame heaped on Nintendo from back in the day is because they contractually kept...

More With Mario

Over at N-Philes, seems that someone got to talk to Charles Martinet(voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and others) on one of the video walls at E3. In the link is an MP3, where the guy asks about some stuff from Super Smash Bros. Brawl and some small talk. "I...

Playchoice 10

Gamespot's got a neat little piece up, their readers' top 10 NES games. Sad thing is, I'm betting I could probably name a good few games, and they'd be on the list. Zelda. Metroid. Super Mario. Tetris perhaps. Contra, Ninja Gaiden, Double Dragon, Castlevania, Mega Man...

Just Peachy

So, there's this fellow named Andy. Andy evidently likes Peach. A lot. Fine, no problem, not here to make judgements.? I like her, too. Guy has a comic on his website that I can no longer seem to locate, which is unfortunate, as it adds a good bit to the context of...

*coughs*

Sure, it's kinda juveneille, but I found this funny: Drez wrote: So, apparently I've been sleeping on my PSP for days. Not directly. I was sleeping on my bed, and my PSP was under the wooden front of it. So there was...well a lot of pressure on it, even when I wasn't...

Dueling Analogs

If you haven't seen it yet, there's a new webcomic that started late last year, later half of November in fact, called Dueling Analogs. It's quickly becoming a favorite of mine, thanks to some pretty good art/coloring, and plenty of oldschool gaming references. It's a...
