When Pokemon X and Pokemon Y were announced my excitement for the series took a nose dive. It basically boiled down to the devastatingly mundane look of the Legendaries. Seriously? We already have 2 legendary deer, their names are Cobalion and Virizion Did you just forget about them, GameFreak? But I digress, as my love for the game instantly shot up with the reveal of Mega Pokemon. Or rather, that a metric butt-load of Pokemon can achieve the Mega Evolution state. This...
The PS Vita TV has not been announced, and may never be, for the US or Europe, but that has not stopped me from being totally sucked in by the concept. A $100 system that plays Vita games on the big screen? Color me excited. That alone would not be enough to justify the price to my accountant (wife) though. So I came up with three major reasons that I need this new device in my life. Maybe they can help you justify an otherwise frivolous purchase to your significant...

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is an innovative game. An innovative game that I really, really wanted to enjoy. Yet I couldn’t.

SteamWorld Dig, the new 3DS eShop game from Swedish developer Image & Form is a breath of fresh air. An engrossing, subterranean adventure from start to finish with equal parts The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Dig Dug and Metroid, SteamWorld Dig is a gem among other 3DS downloadable games. Taking place in a distant future where mankind is merely legend, SteamWorld puts you into the mining boots of Rusty the Steambot, a stranger who recently inherited an old mine from his...
Note: This is an article I originally wrote the day after E3 three months ago. I’ve decided to put it back up in light of Major Nelson’s recent comment on NeoGAF, where he states “I don’t like it…it disrespects the teams that have put in thousands of hours (already) into the development of the product. Sure, it’s cheeky but I don’t care for it myself.” after being asked about his opinion on the name. I feel my two-cents well...
I think it has been talked about enough that I don’t have to give you too much exposition on it but there’s been a trend in the console business that has been dubbed “the curse of the third console.” In case you have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s a little back story. When Sega launched their third console, the Saturn, it had a tumultuous time on the market to say the least. Likewise, Nintendo struggled with the N64. Both...

We told you about EA Sports UFC back when it was announced at E3. I for one was excited to see it since I’m a big fan of MMA in general and the UFC games especially. I was reluctant when I heard EA had taken the franchise over, but I’ll reserve my judgement for later. Announced this week though, was the fact that for the first time women fighters will be added to the UFC’s roster, in the game that is. The full roster of women fighters has not be revealed...
