April Fool’s Day Round Up
For me, April Fool’s day and video games don’t mix well most of the time. A lot of the jokes feel really tired or forced. Like, everyone feels the need to do something, funny or not. However, IGN’s Mass Effect 3 cartoon is pretty amazing a) because I’d rather play that game and b) I…

Reason 95 Why Final Fantasy 6 is the Most Awesome: Ultros
Ultros is a recurring bad guy in Final Fantasy VI. He is a delusional, carnivorous octopus. He’s not all bad, though. He tells cheesy jokes and hits on female party members. People like him so much they do cross stitches with him in them. He’s so loved, he is going to appear DLC in Final…

I Feel Like Super Nintendo Games Are Just Getting More Expensive
My dream is to some day own Star Fox: Super Weekend but, at prices like these, that’s just never going to happen. I can accept that, it’s actually rare. But why is Earthbound now going for an average of about $150? Why are you so expensive, Mega Max X3? Chrono Trigger, available on I don’t…

Peter Molyneux Leaves Microsoft
Old news, Peter Molyneux has left Lionhead Studios to join a new start up 22 Cans. I think it’s a good thing, as a) I just never liked the Fable series and b) I feel like they just had to keep creating Fable sequels instead of doing new and interesting things, which is what Mr.…

Paid Game Reviews, They Happen
I’m a big fan of conspiracies, so I believe everything that guy said. Also, in case anyone wants me to do paid game reviews, I will do this thing. I will also gladly plaster your ads all over the place. This way I would get paid twice. I would also get to play the game…

Yeah, Simcity 5 is Real
As the world predicted. Kind of excited about the idea of multiplayer, I could see that working pretty well. I don’t understand what tilt-shift means. I figured it out. I really like the idea of ruining some smug super genius city planners perfectly designed utopia filled with highly educated physicists just because he happens to…

Reason 96 Why Final Fantasy 6 is the Most Awesome: Kefka’s Tower
Kefka’s Tower is easily the best end area in any Final Fantasy and quite possibly the best end stage I’ve played in any RPG, for a couple of reason: Multiple parties – Up until this point, the game has required the player to create and switch between at most two different parties to work through…

Fez, The Rotating Camera Game
I like Fez, I’m excited to play Fez, I wish Fez was out already. What I don’t like, though, is that Fez trailers seem to consist of as little game play as possible, with added rotating camera. Just in case you’re not sure, at this point, that you’re going to need to rotate the camera…

Simcity’s Soundtracks Are Great
The recently leaked Simcity 5 trailer (that’s been taken down, I just linked to it so you know that I know there was a video at one point) and stills (above, not taken down, yet) have pretty heavily hinted at a forthcoming (maybe GDC) announcement and a 2013 release date (good for me, plenty of…

Reason 97 Why Final Fantasy 6 is the Most Awesome: It Still Looks Good
The 2D artwork in Final Fantasy 6 is amazing and still looks great, to this today. The character designs, the background art, the enemy and boss designs all look spectacular. I think, compared to 3D, 2D games just age much better. I also believe the artwork is one of the main reasons why I can…
