Music of the Gaming World That Is So Radical Its Awesome: Chrono Trigger
Does anyone out there remember a little game called Chrono Trigger? It was released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Well you should if you don’t. The game, as many gamers know, is probably one of the greatest RPG’s of all time if not the best of all time (this is open to…

What’s Going On At Gamespot?
Earlier this week Kotaku reported receiving an annoymous tip claiming that long time reviewer Jeff Gerstmann had been fired from Gamespot because he had given a bad review (6/10) for Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.

Microsoft Updates Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility
Today Microsoft updated the Xbox 360, adding…83 new Xbox games to it’s backwards compatibility list. I hope I counted that right. They still didn’t add Beyond Good and Evil, so I guess I’m never going to be able to play that game. Hey, at least we got NHL 2005, I’m sure tons of people have…

Virtual Console Monday: 11/26/07
Double Dribble, Vegas Stakes, and Ecco Jr. I think I only played Ecco Jr. (I got scared playing it, fear of deep water), so I can’t say if the other two are awesome and/or radical. What I do remember is seeing Vegas Stakes in bargain bins everywhere…you couldn’t escape it. The image of that box…

Starcraft II: The Story So Far
Blizzard has a nice right up over at starcraft2.com detailing the Starcraft storyline leading up to Starcraft II, which takes place four years after the events of Starcraft: Brood War. I never really paid a lot of attention to the story, so this little write-up is a great refresher. I think I just have a…

Galaxy Vs. Sunshine: They Look the Same to Me
I can’t really tell if there is a huge difference between the two, graphically. Obviously Galaxy looks somewhat better, I’m just commenting on the fact that there isn’t a massive difference between the two. Not that the graphics matters to me that much, I’m sure it’s an amazing game. Graphics aside, since Galaxy doesn’t revolve…
