Well, I had been doing pretty good getting Wed news posts out, getting at least a review a weekend out, that sort of thing. I will probably be taking a week or two off from posts though. I have a stack of new games I've been playing, and been pretty busy the last couple of weekends with other things. This weekend I have nothing going on though,...
X-Men Mutant Apocalypse - Retro Reflections
Okay, the trilogy of X-Men (technically, Marvel) articles on the weekend. I doled out Marvel vs. Capcom 3 for the Playstation 3, then Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for Xbox Live - now I'm headed back to the Super Nintendo.I couldn't think of any throwback Marvel vs. Capcom games I had...
Marvel vs Capcom 2 - Xbox Live review
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is a game I got a lot of mileage out of in the past. I had the Dreamcast version and I played the crap out of it. I spent countless hours tweaking favorite teams, killer combos and learning how to use literally every one of the characters - and there were...
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 - Playstation 3 review
So, I did something just a bit out of character and picked up a brand new game on release day. That doesn't happen often. Usually I try to be a bit more frugal with my purchases and wait until they're used at Gamestop or something. However, there was the perfect storm of...
Gaming News and Notes from 2-16-11
A Game of Thrones has been a hot property, and now there's some info about the game.Oh, some games released this week. Marvel vs. Capcom hit Tuesday to very good reviews, and the Ogre Tactics remake for the PSP has been getting solid response as well.Dead Island - I'll admit,...
NBA Jam - Retro Reflections
Continuing my weekend NBA theme (couldn't the Pistons have at least put up a fight Friday night?) - here's my Retro Reflection.So I posted the NBA Jam review for the Wii already, and that got me thinking to the SNES version. Now, I'll be honest - I've owned a few copies of...
NBA Jam - Wii Review
Going to theme again this weekend. Got free tickets to a Pistons/Heat game last night. Seats were high, Pistons got drilled - but it was still a load of fun, so NBA is my theme this weekend. :)EA Sports did not get around to releasing its "EA Elite" basketball series (based...
Gaming News and Notes from 2-9-11
Let's see what's crept up in the last week in gaming news:Guitar Hero or True Crime fans? Bad news then - those business teams are being disbanded. End of the line for both it would seem.Blizzard is notorious for making sure their games are incredibly well-polished prior...
Tecmo Super Bowl - Retro Reflections
We'll consider this the Super Bowl special edition. I was trying to think of what game or games would be most relevant this weekend. What did I come up with? Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES. Before there was Madden, there was Tecmo Bowl, which I played a fair amount of when...
Madden 2011 - iPad review
Bonus post this weekend. I reviewed an older football game, because I had already reviewed Madden 11 earlier in the season and wanted something football themed. Then, I sat down with my wife's iPad and remembered that a month or two ago there was a sale on EA app games and...
All-Pro Football 2K8 - Playstation 3 review
This is a big weekend in football, wouldn't you say? I already had my Madden review a few months back though, so I had to dig around for something else. I'm stretching here, but what the heck: All-Pro Football 2K8 was staring me down this week. I have played it before - even...
Gaming News and Notes from 2-2-11
For fans of the Resistance series on PS3 - there's a preview video about the next installment.My family loves Legos. My son has a ton of them. I liked them growing up. Oh, and there's about a dozen Lego-themed movie adaptation games out here. Including this first look...
