If anyone reading knew that this game was out, give yourself a pat on the back. Once again, SNK Playmore USA serves up some fan favorite 2d fighters. Being that this is SNK Playmore USA, we need to replace “fan favorite” with “a standalone game or compilation that was out in Japan one, …

Retrospectives - Metal Gear Solid series part 2
Thursday, December 6th, 2007 by christianContinued from part 1.
My first experience with anything related to Metal Gear was the MGS cover story in Next Generation Magazine. Like any feature on the game should have, the article mentioned that this was not a new series, but the resurrection of an old one. It even gave a brief history …
Is Nintendo Power biased? A semi-serious statistical survey
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007 by christian and jayNintendo Power is going to be outsourced to Imagine Media, meaning the long-standing and proud magazine will no longer be run by Nintendo themselves. This inspired Jay and Christian to resurrect this old project. Most people claim that Nintendo Power review scores cannot be trusted, or are at least suspect, considering they come “in house” …
Politicians aiming to censor games have an uphill battle
Thursday, September 27th, 2007 by horatioUnless you spent the last year hiding in a cave playing Gears of War and Elebits, you’ve probably noticed that video games continue to be a great way for politicians to score points with the obsessively-worried-with-no-rational-basis constituency (I usually just call them “crotchety old people,” where, since this is a legal article and I’d hate …

Dreamcast Mania! - Overrated games
Tuesday, September 18th, 2007 by christianWhat better way to wrap up our celebration of the Dreamcast than by killing it off? In my final entry in this series, I’m going to do what I do best - slaughter some sacred cows. Not all of them are at the top of many Dreamcast gamer’s lists (and some certainly are), …
Dreamcast Mania! - Great games you can’t get anywhere else
Monday, September 17th, 2007 by christian and jayVideolamer noticed that in our attempts to keep Dreamcast Mania! alive, so very many of our articles were about the things we missed out on, rather than a celebration of what we had. That changes now. Today we will be going over some of the absolute best games the DC (and only the …
Dreamcast Mania! - Canceled games: Forever Denied
Thursday, September 13th, 2007 by jayOver the last few weeks I wrote about two categories of canceled Dreamcast games, those that were PC ports trying to eke out a living on Sega’s machine and those that quickly found a new home on a competing console. In the final installment of this series I take a look at the …
Dreamcast Mania!: What did we miss? - Headhunter
Wednesday, September 5th, 2007 by christianWhat Happened?: Headhunter was supposed to come out at the tail end of the Dreamcast’s life. It still did - in Europe. Its US cancellation was a big enough deal for IGN’s Dreamcast channel to review the import, meaning it was as important to them as Shenmue 2. Eventually Americans got a …
