I love these minigames from Nitrome. Beautiful pixel art, fun interactivity, excellent time-wasters. If you have a few hours to waste (I do) go have a look.

I thought it was awesome until I watched this video.

p.s. I LOVE my wii and if you don’t have one, you should. Even my dad is going to love this thing when I bring it home. It is the single best innovation there has ever been in gaming, period. One round of wii tennis and […]

This video of an in-game demo of the upcoming XBox 360 and PS3 game, Assassin’s Creed, looks like the best game ever made. Seriously.
Realistic stealth, individually reactive NPCs and crowds, fully interactive environments (and I mean FULLY), outstanding physics, immersive, full-roaming environments, fantastic action, what appears to be a brilliant combat system, and absolutely stunning […]

A couple of days ago I told a little story about my experience in the Emirates flight simulator. It was incredibly realistic, with gravity, g-forces, shaking, and even smoke. Graphics views out the window were stunning, but frankly, and I hate to say it, but Microsoft may have one-upped everyone with their latest version of […]

Wow. More white guys can rap than I knew about. These guys are Canadian! Here’s an awesome video from DJ Format for his track “3 Feet Deep” that looks like Dance Dance Revolution, and sounds like, well, frickin good.

How fun. And nerdy.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone did something fantastically nerdy and extraordinary this week. They made machinima (the art of creating videos by using in-game avatars as actors) mainstream by dedicating the first episode of this season’s South Park to World of Warcraft addiction, and brilliantly acting out all of the main character in-game. As you […]

If your name is not Gilbert Yeh, do not read this post.
I have been wanting to pick up LocoRoco for PSP for months. I just realized about a week ago that it only just came to the US. It’s been on the shelves here in Dubai since at least July. I could tell from early […]

Yeah, as if Bowman 1 wasn’t great enough, they made a new one, Bowman 2, with a few more options, and a bird hunt mode that seriously could not be more satisfying. Keep playing until you get good and can shoot your own arrows out of the air, or pin 2 birds with one arrow. […]

Jon Stewart and Samantha Bee have a look at the recent video game hearings in the Congress. Yes Jon, the US House of Representatives is full of insane, old, jackasses.

About a month and a half ago, I broke down and bought a US spec, NTSC, deluxe edition XBox 360. I knew I was courting the enemy, but frankly I was preparing for the long summer cooped up in the apartment, and I played Call of Duty 2 on a friends system and nearly shit […]

I’ve recently become quite an addict of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on the Xbox 360. It’s a first person, single player action RPG, and the graphics are incredible and the physics are good (a bit questionable at times) but not nearly as good as Halflife 2. In any case, the nerd community has become quite […]

These college kids perform the first level of Super Mario Bros. live on stage, complete with music, sound effects, and power-ups. It is simply too entertaining for anyone who’s ever played through this classic of classics.
