That is actually the question. With the recent release of some concept shots for the PS Move inviting a glut of mixed internet people reactions from the logic failing PlayStation fundamentalists’ “this is all Nintendo’s fault” to the long suffering Wii forumite’s “how do you like them apples?”, motion controls seems to …

To Waggle or Not To Waggle?
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 by cunzy1 1Resident Evil 4 Revisited
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010 by cunzy1 1Recently, a brand spanking new copy of Resident Evil 4 for the Wii caught my eye. Reduced to clear and put in the shop window of a generic electronics shop in London’s laughable ‘electronics mile’, I couldn’t face the heart break over the thought of that particular copy of that gem of a game slowly …
Post PlayStation 2: Choose your own adventure!
Thursday, December 10th, 2009 by cunzy1 1You are in an excellent position as the market leader in the gaming industry. The PlayStation 2 went from strength to strength and, with few exceptions from the enemy, had some of the best games ever created. Nintendo have frankly just given up on the Gamecube and the Xbox is really heavy. With a huge …
Love the Capcom
Monday, November 30th, 2009 by cunzy1 1This is a transcript of a presentation I gave at the Women’s Institute last week.
In the ongoing, victimless, and utterly pointless console wars Capcom is America. It’s selling arms to everyone. Ammunition for all the fanboys to use on each other. Sure the Wii can’t do Dead Rising but then Zack and Wiki just …
Review – 100 Classic Book Collection
Friday, November 6th, 2009 by cunzy1 1100 Classic Book Collection for the DS is awesomesauce. That’s the gist of this whole review for those of you unwilling or unable to read further. However, for those with some staying power I will qualify why it is such an amazing condiment after I clarify that it isn’t a game.
100 Classic Book Collection …
Review – Another Code: R A Journey Into Lost Memories
Monday, October 12th, 2009 by cunzy1 1Another Code:R A Journey Into Lost Memories (herein abbreviated to AC:RAJILM) is from the same developer behind the rather excellent Hotel Dusk. So I was somewhat excited when AC:RAJILM was announced for the Wii.
After an extensive playthrough, it seems that this excitement was altogether misplaced. This is not necessarily to say that the game is …
We didn’t go to the Tokyo Games Show
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 by cunzy1 1Despite a great deal of pleading, Jay would not finance a single trip to TGS this year. This is because Jay is a big fat racist. So because we didn’t go we can’t present you with what we saw there. However, because we’ve got nothing else to do besides F5ing the internet we felt like …
Are you HARDCORE ENOUGH?
Friday, September 18th, 2009 by cunzy1 1Writing about the hardcore/casual games divide was the new “Are Games Art” but now “There’s No Such Thing as Hardcore/Casual” is the new “There is a Hardcore/Casual Games and Gamers Divide”. This is a lie told to you by casual gamers. Casual gamers are limp-wristed liberals. HARDCORE gamers get chicks and drive huge cars and …
The Six Hour Rule
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009 by cunzy1 1Great game, great graphics, good story, co-op mode, online play but only 10 hours long. Or words to that effect. I’ve seen a number of reviews that say something about the relatively short length of a game being negative despite the fact that the game, considered too short by the reviewer, would probably take me …
Review – Animal Crossing Wild World
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009 by cunzy1 1Animal Crossing isn’t a game. It’s a career. A vocation, a mini alternative life. You could educate a child with it and it would turn out OK. It teaches you everything you need to know about the real world. It teaches you the importance of money, shows you the true value of patience, punishes you …
