I Found A 3DO Console While Thrifting
As long term readers are aware, one of my hobbies is hitting thrift stores, antique malls, and other such places and seeing what all I can find that may be of use, interesting, or otherwise something I’d want. The past few months have been somewhat dry beyond the usual odds and ends, but back on […]
The Atari 2600 Turns 40!
In a bit of news from yesterday that, out of respect for the date I waited until today to share, the Atari Video Computer System (better known as the Atari 2600) was released 40 years ago yesterday, September 11th. The Atari 2600 is one of the most historic consoles in gaming, to be sure. Not […]
Nintendo On SNES Classic Availability, And The Return Of The NES Classic In 2018
Okay, we’ve got a double shot of Nintendo news today. Starting off with the news of Nintendo urging those who want the SNES Classic console, due to release later this month, to not pay above the retail price for one – this going hand in hand with Nintendo saying that they will produce more SNES […]
First Thoughts On Destiny 2
Last night I snagged Destiny 2, in my case on the Xbox One. As I have mentioned a bit before, I genuinely enjoyed the first Destiny, and its expansions. While I didn’t do much in the way of strikes and raids, I did enjoy the main game for what it was, the world, the settings, […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 22: Ghostbusters: Follow-Up – Episode Review
In part 2 of the Ghostbusters game trio, we finish up with the NES version of the game before the Nerd takes a look at the Sega Master System and Atari 2600 ports.
Understanding Backwards Compatibility On The Xbox One – A Quick Mini-Guide
You wouldn’t think something like this would still be as confusing an issue as it is, but the seemingly simple idea of playing an Xbox 360 game on the Xbox One can be incredibly complex to some people. Indeed, in my work video game sales, I often get asked details on this, and when I […]
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 21: Ghostbusters – Episode Review
Time for part 1 of a trio of episodes devoted games based on the Ghostbusters film: in this case, we focus on the NES game.
PlayStation 4 HDMI Ports Are The Worst
I’m going to be pretty point blank here: The PlayStation 4, namely the “standard” model that much of the owners of the system have, has absolutely terrible HDMI ports. Don’t even begin to defend this or claim it not true, because guess what: it is. At the shop we have over the past 6 months […]
September 2017 Xbox Live Games With Gold
We’re coming up on another month, which means, yes, another set of games free with Xbox Live Gold. Wow, that reads like a paid advertisement if I’ve ever seen one. Let’s try this again – new month, new games, same old same old. I just really need to pad these out. Anyway, yeah, September games […]
Kit Kat Accused Of Copying Atari Game Breakout – Wait, What?
This one hit my radar last week but thanks to the usual delays I’m only now getting to it – apparently, Atari is suing Nestle, the company behind the chocolate-wafer candy bar Kit Kat, over the similarities a commercial from 2016 had with the game. I can’t find this commercial online, but apparently it used […]
The SNES Classic Edition To Not Be Sold In Quebec?
I was informed by a friend yesterday of something a little odd: The SNES Classic Edition is, currently, illegal to sell in Quebec, Canada. People who have placed pre-orders with addresses in Quebec began receiving notices that their orders would not be shipped to QC addresses, and would be canceled as a result, alongside Canadian […]
The Sonic Mania Review
Sonic Mania is, in many ways, the Sonic game I’ve been waiting for since 1995. That would be the year I got Sonic & Knuckles, which was the last of the “Classic” Sonic the Hedgehog titles. After this, the series would eventually, in 1999, move into 3D with understandably different gameplay and, as games came […]
Game Player’s Gametape Vol. 1 No. 5: Konami Games
It’s been quite a while since I shared one of these, so now is as good a time as any, right? Right. Here with tape 5 of the Game Players Game Tapes we get details on a selection of Konami games: The Adventures of Bayou Billy, Blades of Steel, Castlevania, and Track & Field II. […]
