Awesome Radical Gaming

  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl Sells 1.4 Million in First Week

    Or about 120 units per minute (so says the press release, I didn’t do the math myself). Either way, it’s awesome news for Nintendo. 1.4 million may seem like a lot, but Brawl has a long way to go to catch Melee, which sold 7 million units over the lifetime of the Gamecube. The whole…

  • 1942: Joint Strike

    I remember playing the 1942 arcade game when I was a kid, it was awesome. Now we’re getting a HD remake of the original. For years I thought this was exactly what the Pacific theater of war was really like.

  • Dwarf Fortress is Pretty Awesome

    I was at work searching for something on the internet last week and I happened to stumble upon a blog posting by someone which talked about a little game called Dwarf Fortress. They had a screen shot of the game in the post, and the ascii graphics alone intrigued me. So, when I got home…

  • Dragon Quest Swords – Gametrailers Review

    I’m not sure about this game now…it just doesn’t seem to have enough depth and it’s really short. Maybe if I saw it on sale somewhere, but I don’t think I want to pay $50 for it.

  • Starcraft 2 Zerg Video / Fact Sheet

    I always loved playing as the Zerg, something about beating an opponent by swarming them with tons of units was always fun. I can’t wait to hear “Spawn more overlords” over and over again…Starcraft was super awesome. Also, everytime I see a trailer for Starcraft 2 it looks better and better, I’m giving this game…

  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl Initial Impressions

    I bought Brawl last night and since then have played the game for just over 10 hours. I’ve mostly played the Subspace Emissary as well as one run through classic mode with Snake and 20 of the single player events. I also played a quick online game with Gmoney and another one with a random…

  • Gamestop Super Smash Bros. Brawl Launch Events

    I received my weekly Gamestop/EB Games news letter this week, and it had information about Super Smash Bros. Brawl release events happening all across the country this weekend. At certain stores (listed here), you’ll be able to show up at 10 PM on Saturday, March 8, and participate in a Brawl tournament. The winners from…

  • Phil Harrison Leaves Sony, Joins Atari

    So, Phil Harrison left Sony to work at Atari. I don’t know if I would do the same thing, seems like a step backwards, but what do I know, I’m not a big time executive type guy. He thinks it’s the “best opportunity that exists in the industry today.”

  • Ziff Davis Files For Bankruptcy

    Ziff Davis, the publisher of EGM, Games for Windows: The Official Magazine and 1UP.com, has filed for bankruptcy, which is not really awesome or radical. I liked EGM, but I guess video game magazines are falling out of favor since the internet came along. I guess they’re between $500 million and $1 billion in debt,…

  • Disgaea DS Coming?

    The newest issue of Famitsu reveals that Disgaea for the DS is in the works. There are no images or really any further information, they just say it exists and that’s all. Hopefully we’ll hear more sometime soon. Honestly, just knowing it’s coming is fine by me, more Disgaea is always a good thing. Source

  • Persona 3: FES U.S. Trailer

    If I had to use two words to describe Persona 3 to someone new to the series I would say this: “awesome…radical”. I can’t wait to hear that same song remixed 20 different ways again.

  • Opoona Preview

    I like how he has to keep up with a T.V. drama about a stray cat. I’m totally wanting this game. I also found it interesting that the Final Fantasy XII guy is doing the music for Opoona, too.
