Ladies and gentlemen, we here at videolamer pride ourselves on our knowledge and coverage of both current gaming trends and the very best in classic gaming.

Monday, August 13th, 2007 by christianThe Month of Metroid has begun with new preview channel
Saturday, August 11th, 2007 by mattStarting off the Month of Metroid, Nintendo has sent us Wii owners a little gift this past Friday in the form of a Metroid Prime 3:Corruption Preview Channel.

Game genres and classifications
Thursday, August 9th, 2007 by christianRecently I’ve been enjoying Gungrave Overdose, which you might remember as being reviewed as a solid little action game with a ridiculous 15 dollar retail price. With a solid combat system and great presentation, you could do a lot worse in the genre.
The question is, what genre am I talking about? The …
Halo Gamer Fuel
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007 by christianTime for videolamer’s required report on Mountain Dew Gamer Fuel, the Pepsi/Halo 3 soda tie in that surprised no one but me (seriously, I had no idea about this until I walked into Safeway yesterday). However, unlike every other report you will read, I am actually going to try the damn stuff instead of …
Brawl Web site reveals completely new material
Wednesday, August 8th, 2007 by chrisAs some of you may have noticed, the official Smash Bros. Brawl website finally unveiled completely new material last week.

Multiplayer Worlds of Ass aka Why Tyson Does Not Play MMORPGs
Tuesday, August 7th, 2007 by tysonThe list of MMORPGs I have played reads like a high school kid’s job resume; lots of wasted time in short month long bursts. Historically, there have been only two MMORPGs that I have played for a period longer than one month, City of Heroes and Everquest. Even with those two games, I stopped playing …
Dragon Questing yet again?
Friday, August 3rd, 2007 by christianBy now you might have heard the news about Dragon Quest 4, 5 and 6 being remade for the DS. Unsurprisingly, the news is being met with joy more than disgust, because unlike with the constant Final Fantasy remakes, two of these three games have yet to see even one western release. …
Matt recommends: Final Fantasy X OST
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007 by mattIn a new column that I just randomly created 7 seconds ago (and one that I’ll probably never return to), I am going to recommend a video game OST that you should listen to, either by purchasing said OST or… you know, “buying it on the Internet,” whatever that means….
Hey, did you hear!? GTA IV got delayed!
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007 by mattTake-Two is not having a good 2007, let me tell you. First, Manhunt 2 is officially banned from Planet Earth, and now Grand Theft Auto IV, the remaining jewel in TT’s crown, has been delayed until Q2 2008 (which means some unknown date between February and April of next year)….
On licensed games
Thursday, August 2nd, 2007 by christianLicensed games are probably the last thing an avid gamer would be worried about. Aside from the occasional gem, they are quite often the absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of quality. I still worry about them however, and there are plenty of reasons to do so. Let’s take a look …
