Splitsville

No comments

It seems that Total Pro Golf will not be published by Grey Dog Software. Gary Gorski and friends have created Wolverine Studios the self proclaimed “new home of sports simulation games.” Will be interesting to see how a diluted Grey Dog Software survives with essentially two developers. Don’t know why the split occurred, but it [...]

Great Marketing

No comments

I honestly cannot remember a text-game getting better marketing in the United States, although there are few print/media ads available. SI released a video demonstrating some OOTP 2006 features. In addition, SI will take online league game files and test the import compatibility into OOTP 2006. Brilliant, just brilliant!

I have been lamenting about a lack of good review sites, so I have to throw out some recognition to deeko. I know nothing about the folks that run this site, how long they have been around, or what their slant is on the world of gaming. I do know that the layout of the [...]

Bust-A-Move Deluxe (PSP)

No comments

Last weekend I purchased Bust-A-Move Deluxe, OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast, MLB 06: The Show, and Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection. A few posts down I wrote about my frustrations with OutRun – in short the game did not work. I exchanged the game on Sunday, and all looks well now, but that [...]

Markus Takes A Dump

News keeps getting better and better for OOTP fans. The latest blog entry discusses the SQL data “dumping” properties available in OOTP 2006. Sweet Jesus this is good news for online leagues.

The Plot Thickens

No comments

Many online owners greeted OOTP 2006′s news about league file conversion with mixed emotions. On the one hand, it seems that players and their ratings can be imported with no problem. On the other hand, some league history information will not be imported. My sources tell me that folks are probably overreacting a bit to [...]

Giggling Gates

There it is; I am finally bashing Sony. Cold day in Hell or something, or some would just say I have finally seen the light known as 360. Actually it has nothing to do with the 360 or brand loyalty. I can and do buy the gaming systems that capture my imagination, but the Xbox [...]

I wanted to give OutRun a go tonight, but instead it is going to get the boot due to a frustrating night of game freezes (at the loading screens between stages), and after some really strange graphic glitches that rendered the game unplayable. I have no idea what this is about; I do know my [...]

I figured as long as I was shopping for everyone else, I may as well pick up some new PSP games for my upcoming vacation. Enter Bust-A-Move Deluxe, MLB ’06 The Show, and OutRun 2006 Coast 2 Coast. I know many of you would consider Bust-A-Move pretty well played out, but I love me some [...]

Nintendo DS Comes Home

2 comments

I picked up a Nintendo DS this morning at Best Buy. The Best Buy part is not really important except for the fact that I hate those bastards, but there I was shopping for a DS, and a iPod Nano. So much for the protest. The iPod Nano is a Mother’s Day present for Tonya. [...]

Last Wednesday night was a heck of a storm. Something like 20K people lost power. We lost power for a good 23 hours, which was really not that big of a deal except for missing out on all the E3 coverage. I guess I will have to play catch up this weekend to see if [...]
