Hmmm, so how is Taito Square Enix going to make this game true to the original all the while being unique and innovative? Well, how about adding pazazz […]

LTTP Impressions - Triggerheart Exelica and Ikaruga (XBLA)
After saying to myself for ages that I will buy these titles, I finally did so tonight. Some quick impressions:
Triggerheart
800 Microsoft points
-Triggerheart Excelica is a really fun title to play with a great game mechanic. Being able to capture and fling enemies back at other baddies is a lot of fun and quickly teaches you […]

Too Many Games to Play: REZHD , Triggerheart Exelica and Ratchet & Clank: Future Tools of Descruction, etc…
The past weekend was a strange one. This was one of the first weekends that I was actually able to get in some long gaming sessions in about 2 ½ months. My PS3 and Xbox 360 got some well deserved love and even my GameCube was given some long desired attention even if it wasn’t […]

Karous Compilation for the Wii. Sigh.
Seems like today is Shmup Day or something. Well, again off Arcade Resistance, which is quickly becoming a favorite of mine so we’re adding them to our link roll, comes the news that in Japan a new Wii exclusive compilation from Milestone is coming out in March.
It will comprise not only Karous, which was recently […]

HA! I should be working on me and Jango’s SUPER SECRET PROJECT OF AWESOME, but as usual I […]

Oldie but a goodie: Ikaruga 2 players but with only one person.
I’m lucky if I can even defeat the boss on the third level without using all of my continues. Videos like this one makes me want to tilt my computer monitor over and power up my Dreamcast and play some Ikaruga via the VGA adaptor and wishing I had the resources to have a […]

The wonders of old boxes: They done found the Nemesis LCD game.
As a die-hard fan of all those pain-in-the-ass Game Watch pocket games that Nintendo released back in the theoretical hey-day of my youth (and I say theoretical because I distinctly remember HATING those days, but popular theory says I now must remember getting laughed at as the halcyon days of yore), I found it pretty […]
