Call of Duty - Black Ops III

New Games, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360,

I know there have been mixed reviews but I believe Activision and Treyarch did an amazing job creating Black Ops 3. They brought a little of the old and added some new features that really make it one of a kind. Now, I'm not big into Multiplayer...

A Second Helping: Counting Down to Bravely Second: End Layer

New Games, Nintendo 3DS,

Bravely Default for the Nintendo 3DS was one of the biggest surprises of 2014, at least for me. I didn't know anything about it when I received it as a gift, so I expected a generic forgettable RPG. How wrong I was! Bravely Default draws you in immediately...

Consoles, Nintendo 3DS,

The global phenomenon known as Pokémon is turning 20 this year and Nintendo is going all out. Multiple game releases, a foray into mobile gaming, free mythical Pokémon and even a Super Bowl commercial are being used to mark the cultural significance the franchise has brought to...

Go TURBO! The Cult Following of the TurboGrafx-16

Consoles, Retro Museum, TurboGrafx 16,

Something unusual I’ve discovered is that people either love the TurboGrafx-16…or they’ve never heard of it. Serious collectors have told me the TurboGrafx-16 is their absolute favorite gaming system, and casual gamers give me a puzzled stare if I mention it. There...

Kickle Cubicle review (NES)

Nintendo (8-Bit), Retro Games, Retro Museum,

What do earmuffs, plums, evil wizards, and kicking things have in common? The addictive puzzle game Kickle Cubicle, that’s what. Circa 1990, Tetris and Dr. Mario were causing headaches for the gaming public, and it’s unfortunate that Kickle Cubicle remains nearly forgotten. This unique...

Katamari Damacy

Playstation 2, Retro Games,

"Why do the watering cans have twins?" "It's Katamari." "Did we just roll over a bunch of school children?" "It's Katamari." "Why did the King just puke a rainbow?" "It's Ka- Ok, I really don't know." This introduction of Katamari Damacy to a mutual acquaintance in...

Virtual Boy: Virtual Reality Before it was Virtual Reality

Consoles, Retro Games, Retro Museum, Virtual Boy,

Imagine playing video games while being totally immersed in a virtual reality experience. Sounds enticing, right? This is what Nintendo promised back in 1995 with the Virtual Boy, but the console didn't quite live up to the hype. It did bring on a new...

Retro Gaming

Consoles, Retro Museum,

After collecting a few retro systems, you may find yourself running out of spots to plug them all in to your television. Swapping the wires each time you want to play a new system might work, but let's be honest, it's a pain. We'll be focusing on...

Fire Emblem Awakening

New Games, Nintendo 3DS,

Fire Emblem Awakening was released in North America in 2013 on the 3DS. I had never played a Fire Emblem game before and I thought it was about time I give one a try. My favorite types of games are RPGs and turned based especially. Because Awakening is...

I Just Beat: Project X Zone

New Games, Nintendo 3DS,

If you judge Project X Zone by its cover, you'll probably draw the same conclusion that I did: it looks like another cookie cutter crossover fighting game, something along the lines of Marvel vs. Capcom. I wrote it off for a long time after it was released, and I...
