Awesome Radical Gaming

Gaming news that is both awesome AND radical.

2008

  • I love Final Fantasy VII, VII and III (VI) are my two favorite Final Fantasy games to date. So, any new Final Fantasy VII spin-off game that comes out is always something I’m interested in. Anyway, picked it up over my long absence and I’ve pretty much liked everything about it, the battles are pretty…

  • So, I know there are like four to five huge fans of Awesome Radical Gaming out there. To you four or five people, I’m sorry. I got married and then all this other stuff and I just didn’t feel like typing. I also have started to try and program an XNA 2-D game, which you…

  • April Fools’ Day…it’s always the same in the video game world. You are guaranteed to see plenty of ridiculous news stories that are just so obviously fake, but are still totally awesome. I think it’s pretty cool how everyone decides to do it, it’s become a tradition at this point. Blizzard is one of my…

  • I can’t wait, I don’t know what else to say.

  • I doubt it can be as radical as the old Street Fighter movie. I can’t think of who any of these people are, honestly, because I’m pretty bad with celebrities. What I do know, however, is that this movie has a 95% chance of not being awesome. Video game movies just never seem to work…

  • I’m curious about this game for two reasons. First, it’s a Square-Enix game, so I’m thinking it will turn out well. Second, the music seems really interesting. Overall, it just seems really different. More information about The World Ends With You is available here.

  • There’s all kinds of Atlus news today, first Persona 4, now this. Summon Night: Twin Age is an action RPG for the DS that fully stylus controlled. The email goes on to detail that the stylus controls are “precise controls (no excessive line drawing to attack or squiggles in the corner of the screen to…

  • How radical is this news? I’d say, from 1 to 10, an 11. I can’t hardly breathe, the awesomeness is just too much. This week’s Famitsu has tons of information about the upcoming Persona 4, which will be on the PS2. Persona 4 is set in the countryside and the story revolves around a murder…

  • 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…

  • 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.

  • 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…

  • 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.
