All you really need to know about movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World is that it’s directed by the guy behind Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Also, it has like a bagillion game references crammed into its trailer. It makes sense that there are plenty of gaming, and even more comic, references in…
You probably think you’ve already read all of the adventures of Christopher Robin and Pooh in the 100 Aker Wood. You’ve read about the the spelling bee, about Tigger’s dreams of Africa and the Harvest Festival. But have you, I wonder, ever read about the time when Aliens came to the wood? I didn’t think…
Arcades hold a very special place in my heart. They were, for a child growing up on the move, living in different states, different countries every few years, the one refuge in a constantly changing landscape. While the names, the graphics, even the language of my childhood arcades changed with each relocation, the feeling of…

There’s also a bunch more little dodads and tweaks that you…
I would have played Oregon Trail WAY more if it featured this sort of hunting massacre. At least it’s something for today’s kids to play though.
Then you better head on over to Evil Avatar where they have two Red (three-day) passes to the big show in Boston. The tickets, which they will be giving away to a lucky, random forum poster tomorrow morning, don’t include transportation, accommodations or food. It’s just access baby, access to the greatest show in Boston,…
To: Ash From: Crecente Re: Am I Old Fashioned For Liking Flat Things? Yesterday was a beautiful early spring day, but by evening thick clouds had rolled in and suddenly the view out my window went completely opaque with billowing snow. This morning I woke up to find just over a foot of wet, heavy…
Nintendo isn’t the only company seeing a jump in value after announcing that they plan to release a 3D version of their popular DS portable console. Bloomberg reports that companies that provide parts to Nintendo have also soon a jump in value, some as much as 10 percent, after news of the 3DS broke. “It’s…
If you’ve ever played a game on a touch screen device, you know just how important it is that the screen recognize, perfectly, what you’re stylus or finger is up to at any given moment. And, it turns out, that one touch screen is not like another, according to this touchy robot and its tests…
Just because a Spring blizzard just dumped a foot of snow on my house last night doesn’t mean that other people can’t enjoy a bit of spring fever. Starting tomorrow, March 25, and running through June 1, an assortment of Playstation 3 and PSP games are getting 50 percent off as part of Sony’s annual…
The retro-friendly Game Room hit the Xbox 360 early this morning somewhat out of whack, not allowing gamers to actually enter the arcade. But as of an hour or so ago the gates to the arcade have been lifted and you’re free to stroll in, spend your money and drop gum on the carpet. I…

Nintendo’s DSi XL, due out this Sunday, features a much bigger screen than its predecessor, but does that mean better or worse graphics? We know, thanks to Nintendo’s great Japanese ad, that it makes games bigger, but at what cost? The DSi’s screen measures about 3.25 inches diagonally, while the DSi XL’s is a whopping…
Super Street Fighter IV will have plenty of great additions to warrant the $40 purchase. For me, the most important is the ability to play matches online in a virtual room that allows you to hang out with up to seven other people, chatting and watching the current fight. But a lot of people are…

To: Bash From: Crecente Re: How To Make Cheap, Fake Fatty Tuna I’m on my second day with the considerably less then 5-foot sandwich. I gave about half of it away to a family we’re friends with and Tristan and I ate on it for a chunk of yesterday. What we’re left with is maybe…

In the past 24 hours or so Apple added the ability to give iPod Touch and iPhone applications and games to other people via an email or a printed certificate. The Give a Gift feature now pops up when you click on the arrow icon next to the App’s price and select “Gift this App.”…
I think we should be prepared for all sorts of evil, player-created games when WarioWare D.I.Y. hits North America this weekend. The DS game allows you to create the sort of mini-games found in classic WarioWare titles using your own graphics, sounds and imagination. Unfortunately, that means at least some wannabe game designers are going…
