I’m posting to let you guys know that I have launched a “spin-off” blog focusing primarily on gaming called “Save the Colossi.” Although I’ll continue to post about gaming-related topics here from time to time, Save the Colossi is meant to be a repository of essays on videogames and occasionally anime. The celebrate the launch […]
I wish I could give this video context. Believe me: I do. But all I can tell you is that this six minute mind trip is a promotional video for the Nintendo DS game, Kokoro [Heart] Scan. Don’t ask me what a bear playing guitar has anything to do with anything, but he’s there. I’d […]
Today, I learned from Penny Arcade that Capcom is releasing a Street Fighter Tribute artbook in celebration of the series’ 20th Anniversary. The book compiles art from many (relatively) well-known artists of characters from the games, including Penny Arcade’s own Gabe. The catch? Capcom is charging $80 (plus $20 for shipping) for the artbook on […]
As someone who has only been able to play Chrono Trigger in emulation, I can hardly express how happy I am after reading this news. Chrono Trigger is coming to the Nintendo DS, after much clamoring from fans across the world. In addition to a leaked scan from the upcoming Jump Magazine, Square-Enix has also […]
I had planned to post last week about the rumored existence of Mega Man 9, which was reported by Siliconera almost two weeks ago. Apparently, a foreign ratings board rated Mega Man, which no one even knew existed. The platform was listed as “multiplatform,” leading most (myself included) to suspect a download service. I personally […]
Welp, today I pre-ordered a game for the Playstation 3: a videogame console that I don’t own and probably won’t own for two years. I’m talking, of course, about a little game called Metal Gear Solid 4: the final chapter in a game series I’ve been hopelessly following for years. Why did I spend money […]
You’ve all heard my rave about King of Fighters XI before and how much I went through to play it. Well, now SNK has released the title in America for a mere fraction (see: $15) of what I paid originally. Oh but that’s not all: sucker that I am, I’ve ordered this version off of […]
When Persona 3 was originally announced for Japan over a year ago, I was more than intrigued by the game’s battle system; specifically, the method in which you summon your Personae (creatures that act as the game’s magic system), i.e. shooting themselves in the head with a gun. Sure, they call it an “evoker” and […]
“Your game sounds like little kids torturing each other.”
– My mother
I’ve sung the praises of King of Fighters XI before, but today I feel that King of 2D Fighting Games, in my estimation, has been dethroned by my recent adventure into the library of SNK. What game could possibly accomplish this feat? Why, none other 1999’s Garou: Mark of the Wolves. About a month ago, […]
