Most people would probably think they’re interchangeable, but they have enough different content to both warrant a purchase for fans of the series. Nintendo was straddling the line between offering consumers more choices and ripping us off when they offered Street Fighter 2 …

Monday, December 3rd, 2007 by jayWhat is a man?
Monday, December 3rd, 2007 by jayAndre Malraux was a French author who lived and died in the 20th century. He has many books and other things to his name and if I knew anything about him beyond what it says on his Wikipedia page you can be sure you’d be damned impressed.

Friday, November 30th, 2007 by jayGamespot editor allegedly fired for giving a bad review

Thursday, November 29th, 2007 by jayJohnny Rotten hates Guitar Hero 3!!!! It’s all right here in this article!

Review – Etrian Odyssey
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007 by jayThere is nothing more depressing than wasted potential, and, somewhat ironically, nothing more pleasurable than wasting potential. As I lay on my couch playing Etrian Odyssey instead of washing the dishes, helping the homeless or learning to read, my mind struggled to cope with conflicting emotions. I was enjoying that I was wasting my time, …
Mario doesn’t matter
Thursday, November 8th, 2007 by jayI’ve been avoiding screens and videos of Mario Galaxy because I want to experience it all for the first time when I am actually playing, not drunkenly browsing the web.

Review hegemony
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007 by jayGamers expect very specific review scores for certain games. When Twilight Princess got an 8.6 the internet almost self destructed. Recently, Ratchet and Clank got a 7.5. People are in an uproar over a game they have never played. It’s a triple A title and deserves a triple A score seems to be the prevailing …
Nintendo – update your stupid console
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007 by jayI have curly red hair. Why does Nintendo hate me? How difficult would it be for them to add some new hair colors and styles to the Mii options? Their lack of effort is either indicative of laziness or deep seated hatred for non-Japanese people and frankly, either of those is culturally insensitive (particularly the …
