Believe it or not, there are many, many music games out there that don’t follow the mainstream success of titles such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band. These games may not be as nearly as popular as those huge genres, but in my opinion, they are well worth your attention. These are the [...]

What did you think of when you first saw Wii Fit? Did you think that Nintendo had lost their minds? I bet you didn’t predict that the game would outsell Grand Theft Auto IV! I mean, some of us thought the title would do well, but I don’t think any of us [...]

A portion of a GamePro review… Genghis Khan II is simultaneously more and less accessible than its predecessors on Virtual Console. If you learn how to play it, it’s open-ended, flexible, and decently entertaining, without hitting you with five times your body weight in angry Japanese riflemen before you’ve had a chance to do much.

A portion of a ThatGamingSite review… Jungle Beat is a good game that falls short in only a few areas none of which that should really stop you from considering purchase. If you’ve played Jungle Beat before there really isn’t a reason to come back to play a game that has been made easier but those [...]

I am having flashbacks to the GameCube era. Remember when we first found out that Metroid was returning, and that it was going to be a first person title? I don’t think there was a single person out there that didn’t fear what would happen to the franchise. Now we are going [...]

Now the Palm Pre has an NES emulator up and running. It never ceases to amaze me just how many portable devices have been retrofitted with an NES emulator. Remember, use this for homebrew only! Link
