    So who else is jumping on the Metriod Prime Trilogy deal?

    I own all three games individually, and I'm honestly considering it. The only additions to the games are wii controls, achievement challenges that earn you points to spend on gallery extras in each game, and widescreen format for Prime 1 and 2. I don't currently have an external hardrive for my...

    Poll: To buy a PS4 or Wii U...

    This generation has been absolutely beautiful for those with a decent or better gaming PC, and a wii u. PC will get you those delicious third party franchises, and the Wii U will set you up for a combination of strong single player experiences, and some fun games for offline co-op/multiplayer...

    Poll: Most fun way to play Xcom?

    The Long War is pretty impressive, but there's no conceivable way for you to enjoy yourself without playing on easy mode and for those players that felt like Xcom should take even more than 40 hours to beat. My vote goes toward Enemy Within. It's a nice breath of fresh air after experiencing...

    If you could only play one game for each letter of the alphabet...

    I used my backloggery to help with this, but kept it to games that I've actually played, rather than games I've bought, heard were good, but never got around to. #: 007 From Russia with Love (PS2) A: Assassin's Creed 2 B: Borderlands 2 C: Conker's Bad Fur Day D: Dead Rising 2 E: Elder...

    A Dose of Japan: A Tale of Pokemon

    There's a lot of people who play pokemon. Yes, people your age, however old you are. Sorry, but I'm going to have to be that guy that reminds you about the social aspect being apart of the games' design. Even as an adult, I've met people in college that still enjoy and understand pokemon. I've...

    Researchers Uncover Potent New Antibiotics Within The Soil

    I, too, immediately felt that this advancement would be temporary like the rest, but then we don't know that quite yet. Furthermore, if there's another potentially deadly disease that springs up in the near future, it's nice to know that its victims have a new weapon in their arsenal. But...

    Most Attractive Anime Characters poll 2014: where do I start

    I remember making a similar list with a friend in second grade regarding the girls in our classroom. So, I'd like to think that while I've heard of none of these characters, I can still relate to this bizarre listing of girls that I can never attain.

    The Big Picture: The Terrible Twenty Films of 2014 Part 1

    Aww I thought Tammy was pretty good. Good enough to be in the "ok" pile where we see it in neither list. Behind the often immature humor, I thought the characters were endearing.

    Poll: Which should I get: Wii U or PS Vita?

    The PS Vita is not a stellar system now, or ever. Though it is still alive and competing with the 3DS, it's not known for having anything on it that you really need. I swear a good chunk of PS Vita owners were made when Persona 4 Golden was released. A game that by all rights should have been...

    2015: What games are you looking forward to?

    As far as "gotta have 'em" games, all I can see at this point is Zelda for Wii U. I spend so much time playing the hundreds of games I haven't gotten around to, that a game really needs to grab my attention to warrant the full cost, like Smash brothers on Wii U, and Bayonetta 2. In fact, I don't...

    So I just got a PS3, what games should I get?

    A lot of retail shops carry the various God of War collections for extremely cheap! Heck, I think I even seen the God of War Saga (That is, all six games in the franchise) for 30-40 dollars. So if you're on a budget for suggestions, that would be my top one. And be sure to check out the...

    Would you say that using a guide ruins the purpose of gaming?

    Reading this post, I'm reminded of a friend who once said he'd prefer watching a youtube personality that he watches go through a game he owns than play through it himself. So I'm sure Let's Plays have a place in this discussion. I have a desire to 100% games that I play as I go through them a...

    Best Console to compliment a PC Gamer?

    As far as I've experienced and researched, going PC and Wii U seems to be the way to go if you log a lot of time into your games every week this generation. Sure, the Wii U lacks multi-plats - even the ones that were ported down to the PS3 and 360! - but do you really want a scaled down port of...

    Awakening is the most light hearted Fire Emblem game I played

    I wouldn't say light-hearted and, nintendoey, or robotic are synonymous terms. Listen, most of us that didn't start with Awakening started with the GBA era. The gameplay was dumbed down to be accessible, the support conversations were introduced, they really improved on the design of Fire...

    The Game Awards 2014 impressions

    Going in with zero expectations, it was pretty good. Enough that I'll check it out again next year. I mean, come on, they did a ten minute segment on how impactful sierra games were, that's some serious brownie points from any old-school gamer. The Zelda footage left me wanting more, but hey...
