Stride Gum When Hollywood eventually makes this into a movie, I hope Martin Lawrence nabs the role of Cowbot With only 8 days left before Stride Gum’s “Save The Arcades” contest rumbles to an end and one lucky American gaming parlour nabs $25,000 in cash, ducats, and other colloquial synonyms for “money,” I thought it […]

Medium Review: God of War Collection
Sony Computer Entertainment America Like the Doublemint Twins, but with splattered entrails. Epic. That word gets thrown around way too often these days. From thirtysomething Hollywood directors describing their latest CGI orgasm to game reviewers describing, well, anything really. “Epic” has become so overused that it has nearly lost all meaning. It’s a shame too, […]

Hyper Short Review: Super Mario Galaxy 2
Sometimes I play games that are really rad. Instead of taking time away from playing them to tell you all why you should go out and buy them, I just decide not to. This is one of those times. Read this part, then hit the jump and then … actually I don’t care. By the […]

A Look Back At A Gaming Magazine From 1997
It’s 4:19 AM and I decide to organize my closet. “Dump all this excess crap,” I think to myself. “You’ll be able to find things when necessary,” I imagine. “Did I take a bunch of meth?” I begin to wonder. Moments after I start the task though, it all falls apart. I stumble upon a […]
