February is here, with promises of great Super Bowl Sunday football (Lord I hope for a Colts victory), V-Day and inappropriate lingerie (keeping my fingers crossed), the start of a new NASCAR season, and yes of course, a brand new month for me to rehash old videogames. Yes, I am a broke bloke. PS3 Gets [...]
My brother wanted to get Nathan, my seven year old son, a DS game for Christmas; something bargain bin’ish in the $15 and under price range. Not because he is cheap mind you, but because the boys already had a haul worthy of Fort Knox. I picked out Indianapolis 500 Legends (Indy 500) because it [...]
Some random video gaming links for your reading pleasure … The demise of a once proud franchise? Bill Harris (Dubious Quality) on the possible demise of EA Sports NCAA Football (and possibly basketball) series: Physics-based gameplay, an offensive style that is now common, and “authentic offensive styles of play” are possible additions to the game?

You know this one will sale like hotcakes. Not just because of the Winter Olympics tie in, but because it will be better than the usual “simulation” style Olympics games that usual are duds. OneLifeGamer has some screens. I am sure the kids (and dad) will get this one.
IGN has posted a nice GamesCon 2009 New Super Mario Bros. hands-on impression article. Of particular interest is the multiplayer aspect of the game. Which leads me to the single biggest improvement made to New Super Mario Bros. for Wii (over its DS predecessor, since let’s face it — these games are otherwise very similar): [...]
The only reason I am posting a link to this story from the escapist is because their content is always well written, provoking thought, and of course entertaining. But really, do we need another “Sony lost, blah, blah, blah …” story? Only the Game Boy kept Nintendo in the race, while Sony led two hardware [...]
These days I get gaming in very small doses. The same goes for looking at videogame centric sites. Hell, I cannot remember the last time I even logged onto a videogame forum. Right now, that is just not my cup of tea. I have such little time to play games; I cannot be bothered to [...]
