Action Theater: Original Recipe

Sometimes you look back on the follies of youth and realized you could have had a tastey meal but instead you used it to race your friends.  Silly, silly elvaan chocobo are for deep fryin’.

The history of Colecovision

August 27th, 2008

I had one of these, a Colecovision! The cool thing about this system is that it could play all the games Atari 2600 made via an add-on. We chucked our Atari and just used the Coleco..

Man..good times.

Wiz Homebrew Kit

August 27th, 2008

This has some interesting possibilites in the homebrew market.  Even though I think it has a long shot, I do like to root for the underdogs.  As we’ve seen with XBLA indie developers can make some fun games.

August 27th, 2008

This is a good video review to watch for gameplay and see what the game is like. It covers a lot of the basics of the game and has lots of footage.

Castle Crashers: First Impressions (360)

August 27th, 2008

Here are a few of my first impressions about the new Xbox Live Arcade title Castle Crashers:

1. I like the style of graphics. It is like a well animated flash game; colorful and cheery yet able to subtly show signs of gore and war. Very cool.

2. Fun RPG flavored Hack and Slash beat ‘em up. If the guys from Double Dragon met the rogue from Diablo II and had a weirdly drawn child, this game would be it. I like how you can upgrade your weapons and stats.

3. Not sure about the multiplayer yet. It looks like it’ll be fun, I just haven’t played it for that long; plus I am only playing the demo at the moment. Yet I think 4 player co-op/beating each other up will be a blast.

4. Is it just me, or are those upside down crosses on their helmets? Are we dealing with cartoon satanists? hmmmm..

More to come when I play the full version!

Chuck Norris on your cell phone

August 27th, 2008

The fact is Chuck Norris doesn’t dial a number on his cell; he just stares at it until the cell phone dials the right number out of fear for its life.

Yes folks, Chuck is on your cell… You can use his real powers, like flipping over cars.

Actually if you used his real powers in this game, you’d need a new phone every time you loaded up the game.

Chuck doesn\'t pet a dog, he kicks it into submission

That’s right: Carry all his high flying kicks with you where ever you go!

Click here for more info presented to you by our good friends at Kotaku!

(Actually I don’t know any of them, fyi.)

Remember kids: If it has Chuck on the cover, it must be good!

New Xbox Experience Demo At PAX

August 26th, 2008

Major Nelson will be showing off the new Xbox interface at PAX this week.  The more screens I see, the more I would really like to choke somebody with a controller cord.  The Mii ripoffs frustrate me to no end.  See below…

Just kill me now.
