DOS Gaming . Codename - Iceman

I know some of you are already familiar with DosBox and abandonware gaming, but I’ve just started messing around with it, following a nostalgic trip to the Imagination Network.
My latest addiction: Codename: Iceman. I played this a few times through back when I was a kid (I loved Jim Walls’ Police Quest games), but I [...]

Another Leisure Suit Larry game?

No, this isn’t an April Fools joke. Looks like Vivendi/Universal is putting out another Leisure Suit Larry game, only it’s a continuation of the previous abortion of an adventure game, Magna Cum Laude. Now, I’m hoping they fix at least some of the monumental problems with that game, but the game description on sierra.com isn’t [...]

First Street Fighter IV, now Duke Nukem Forever?!

Oh wow, two games I thought would never happen are finally seeing progress. Rather than rattling off nostalgic reminiscences I’ll just launch into the trailers.

And yes, Chun Li will have the power thighs. SF4 Official Site here. More news on gameplay here.

Sam and Max Season 1 videogame review

As I’ve stated before, I don’t usually write about video or computer games, but I’ve found another that I have to say something about. You see, I was a huge adventure game enthusiast back in the day, and Sam and Max Hit the Road is easily one of my favorite adventure games of all time. [...]

VIDEOGAME REVIEW . Persona 3 (aka: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3)

I don’t usually do videogame reviews, but Persona 3 has prompted me to do so. Simply put, Persona 3 rocks. I’ve now lost three weekends to the game, and the outlooks for forthcoming weekends are looking similar for the foreseeable future. This hasn’t happened in years. It’s easily the best, quirkiest, most interesting, and most [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [He-Said, She-Said] . DoA: Dead or Alive

HE SAID:Finally, a summer film that entertains throughout! Seriously, I’m not joking. Dead or Alive was the most fun I’ve had at a summer movie this year. It may be a videogame adaptation, but its ribald mix of kinetic action, sexy females, and tongue in cheek humor provided a consistent level of entertainment — something [...]

TECH TALK . Even cell phones love the Wii

Oh my gooshness the Nintendo Wii is so fun! I have a long overdue review of the console or at least one of the Wii games coming up, but until then, let me whet your appetite whilst I tell you about a new line of Wii-like cellphones. This summer, in Japan (of course), [...]

DOS Gaming to the Max

Ah, how I miss the days of DOS gaming. Adventure games, shareware actioners, and just all around fun. I haven’t really computer gamed since Sierra and Lucas Arts quit making adventure games, but these videos take me back.

The Sonic 3 Michael Jackson Connection

My friend sent me this cool little doc from YouTube regarding Michael Jackson’s original contract with Sega to compose the music for Sonic 3, and the very strong possibility that his music was used, without credit, due to MJ scandals of the time.
Check out the YouTube video here and decide for yourself.

INN/TSN, Yserbius, Boogers and more

So work and school have both been insanely busy, and I haven’t seen anything really worth relating to you guys (that Kris hasn’t already covered), but for those pre-web dialup-gamers out there I did come across something pretty cool. If any of you remember ImagiNation Network (aka: The Sierra Network) there are a few sites [...]

Sweet Price Drops on PS2 Titles

So Dragon’s Quest VIII is finally down to $20. I know, most of you interested in the game already have it, but for videogame cheapskates such as myself, I’ve been waiting quite some time for this to happen. The game’s downright awesome, and definitely worth the original purchase price, but now proves a more justifiable [...]

Nintendo Wii to cost only $250! WHEEEEEE!

Nintendo has finally announced the cost of its new system, the Nintendo Wii. At $250, the Wii will definitely be the most affordable system of the big three. Kris and I are die hard Gamecube and DS fans (I think the DS is officially my favorite system now), and I must say, we are looking [...]

MOVIE REVIEW [SCREENER] . Silent Hill

Kris and I drove deep into the ghettos of Milpitas (Mill-pete-ass), braving hip-hop kids, speak-and-spell readers, and pretentious cinematic greenhorns (aka: film students) to catch a late evening screening of Silent Hill. Was it any good?
She Said:
Thanks to my awesome awesome friend “CapnT”, Chris and I got to view this sneak preview. Now I know [...]

Odama on Gamecube

Whoa. I didn’t think this was going to come out here in the US, but it’s on sale at Fry’s this week! Odama’s a little hard to explain, as was Seaman, so check out the official site here.

MOVIES . Silent Hill Teaser

The Teaser for Christopher Gans’s adaptation of the Silent Hill games is up. I don’t know about you, but Kris and I are pretty big fans of the Silent Hill games. I actually remember skipping a play rehearsal for an English class (don’t ask) just so my buddies and I could beat Silent Hill 2. [...]

XBOX 360 Release Tomorrow

So tomorrow is the release date for XBox 360, though don’t expect to get your grubby hands on one for some time well after that. Although the release is one of the most hyped of the year, many Game Stops’s have received calls from Microsoft to stop taking preorders for the system. Major retailers, including [...]

Free games from CNet

Cnet.com has an updated list of free, full version games for download. These are older titles, but nevertheless are quite fun.
Some of the games include Starsiege: Tribes, Hidden and Dangerous Deluxe, Wild Metal Country, and Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2. Check it out here.

Hooray for Weekends!

If you know Chris, you know that he’s spontaneously wacky yes, but he’s also very chill. And after a week of work and Calculus and Programming and other brainiac activities, he’d be happy to just kick back and watch a few movies or play some video games. That’s where opposites attract.. or maybe [...]
