Daybreakers is Stupid

I don’t mean to say it’s bad. If you’re looking for a decent-ish vampire movie to fill up a few idle hours you could do way, way worse. The film was totally fun, and the concept is interesting enough to spawn an entire subgenre. I much prefer my vampires to be monsters than silver-haired weepy […]

Lacey the Ronin Levels Up

Etrian Odyssey was this incredibly difficult game. In order to make any progress you really had to dig in and take it apart, piece by piece. Advancing one level in the dungeon could take hours of exploring, mapping, fighting, upgrading and experimentation — and the next level was always harder. Always.

Let’s play Castlevania: Harmony of Despair.

I’m less interested in the character […]

Great Gaming Heroines #3: Jade

Basically, I feel like there aren’t enough awesome female protagonists in video games. I took an inventory of every console game I’ve purchased in the last ten years and made […]

I Fixed It

Pictures of Screens

I woke up today to find news that Cave Story had been patched on the Wii. This was good news, because the only good thing about the Wii port was that it was Cave Story. So I plugged in the Wii, set it up on my wireless network, and got downloading.

That I bought this […]

The Sonic 4 Demo is Eighteen Seconds Long

You get to play one act of one stage. If you blink you will miss it. I like to think that the purpose of a game demo is to show off at least a little bit of everything that game is going to do. So if the Sonic the Hedgehog 4 demo is any indication, […]
