In a recent comment, Brandon asked “MadWorld disappointing?  How is that even possible?” So I figured I’d take this time to explain how I managed to be disappointed. It wasn’t really as difficult as you might think. Since I’m primarily making a point here, this article will be more of a complaint about the game […]

Keepers is a weekly segment in which I discuss games I’ve played that I’ve seen fit to keep after playing. I generally sell a game that I’ve finished, so the only reason I keep one is because I plan to replay the game some day. Classifying a game as a “keeper” is generally a badge […]

Recently, I fired up the copy of Okami that’s been sitting on my shelf for months, gathering dust and cat hair. After the initial half hour of text-reading, when the game actually started, I was completely shocked at how good it looked. This is a Wii game, ported from the original Gamecube version – it’s […]

Recently, Nintendo has been taking a lot of flack for the Wii’s lack of appropriate data storage. 512mB of internal flash memory just isn’t enough now that WiiWare is offering downloadable games.
