The New Jurassic Park Video Game Makes Up for the Sega CD One
In 1993, BlueSky Software created the Sega CD Jurassic Park game. It was a point and click adventure with bad art direction in it and the six year old me would spend hours trying to play it. The game was terrible and it took almost 20 years for the Jurassic Park series to make it…

Yoostar in MTV is Worth One Drunken Night of Playing
It’s not everyday that three men dressed like Zach Ryder walk into your apartment at two in the morning. Drunk and looking to play some Xbox, I turned them to my awesome new copy of Yoostar in MTV. This is what came out of that night.

Man Mods Etch-A-Sketch to Work With Nintendo Controller
Have you ever wanted to control an Etch-A-Sketch with a Nintendo controller? Probably not, but it’s pretty awesome. Watching this video, I tried to imagine all the uses this device had, but most of them were drawing boxes. I’m sure somebody will come up with something better then that.

Here’s Me Struggling through a Couple of WWE ’12 Matches
WWE ’12 is a game that theoretically should have been awesome. Between throwing someone through a table or a totally sweet cage match, this should be a great party/fighting game. Unfortunately, the controls keep amateurs out of the ring and given the way WWE ’12 is designed, you will be explaining what every button does…

Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time Run Great On The Kindle Fire
Don’t ask me how well it controls or even if it’s worth the time to put these games onto your Kindle Fire. But I will say it’s friggin awesome. Take Mario Kart 64 on the subway? Why the hell not. Android devices have been running emulators for a while now and it was just a…

Culmination is a Flash Game I Can Get Behind
Culmination is a smooth side-scrolling action game with an ambiance that is both eerie and calming. The controls feel solid (with only minor hiccups during combat) and I find myself zoning out while I play. Maybe I’m not a Flash game aficionado, but I am loving how polished this game feels. Culmination [Kongregate] You can…

It’s a Me a Mario! An 8-Bit Opera
The guys at JonandAl put together a Super Mario opera for the world to enjoy. As ridiculous as it is, I still can’t get the song out of my head. I dare you to not be moved when Mario gets that star power. If only they can remake the original movie as an opera… You…

Xotic Is The Strangest Game I’ve Played This Year
Xotic is trying to do an awful lot within the confines of a downloadable title. After playing five or six levels I was still trying to figure out if I was “doing it right”. It doesn’t seem hard at all, yet each level I feel like I could of done boatloads better. Everything about this…

Fund Pota-toss, Because We All Should Know the Power of Potatoes
The visuals and gameplay behind Pota-toss are pretty cool. The game has already hit its goal as far as funding goes but every little bit counts. At its barebones it’s a game of throwing potatoes at your friends. What I really thought was cool about Pota-toss was its GPS functions.Pota-toss will create the players level…
