So, Nintendo rolled out the first promotional video for the NES Classic Edition, and it’s a nice little throw back to the good old days, even including the “Now you’re playing with power” slogan from the late 80’s and early 90’s that worked so well for them. I’m still optimistic about the plug-and-play system, as …

The Computer Chronicles – Computer Games and Gamers (2000)
Ah, the year 2000, a time when the Dreamcast was showing us what the next generation would bring, the Playstation 2 was the hot new thing, the Xbox was still in development, and online gaming was in its infancy. Things have come a long way in the past 16 years, but at the same time, …

When a Post Just Doesn’t Trend Well
Sunday afternoon, while killing some time at a local mall, I wrote up a post on Pokemon Go. It wasn’t anything special, but it was a post nonetheless about something amazingly popular at the moment. I had some thoughts to share, and well, felt like sharing them – a mostly positive post from the point …

The Obligatory Pokemon Go Post
Pokemon Go, yet another one of those love it or hate it kind of things. Me? I’m positive to it, but indifferent. Being a Windows Phone user, my phone, needless to say, doesn’t have a version for it, nor are any of my android devices capable of running the game, meaning, I’m pretty much out …

Captain Skyhawk – NES Game Review
Captain Skyhawk is one of those odd games that many people seemed to have, but I can’t quite figure out why. It has nothing special about it at first glance, It looks like a flight simulator – shooter style game much like anything from the 80’s, but with a somewhat unique viewpoint, especially for a …

What’s the Point if You’re Not Having Fun?
Heads up: this is a rather disjointed rant. Get over it. I play video games to have fun, relax, and enjoy myself. It’s my hobby, something I do because it pleases me. When I play a game, I expect to have a challenge, sure, but I do expect that challenge to be fair, to make …

The point is, as always, new month, new set of free games with an active Xbox Live Gold Membership. Comments this month are.. something else. People are constantly complaining about …

Time to Get Back to Business
Has it really been almost a week since the last post? That’s strange for me, now, for sure, but there is good reason! Dominantly, Anime Blues Con 6! Oh yes, as stated in the post last week, I indeed did go to the convention on Saturday and had an amazing time – more on that …

Sega Genesis vs Super Nintendo – James Rolfe
For seemingly as long as there have been gaming consoles, there have been console wars. Much like the battle between the Xbox One and the Playstation 4 today, in the past there have been console after console battling it out for dominance of the market. In the late 80’s into the early 90’s, Nintendo had …

World War One First Person Shooter Verdun is Coming to the Xbox One and Playstation 4
World War One, by all accounts I’ve heard, would be the closest thing to “Hell on Earth” that has ever happened in human history. In many ways, it was the first true “modern” war, and in an equal number of ways was the last “traditional” war. The Verdun video game is based on the events …

As E3 Keeps Moving Along, My Plans for Covering All The News
E3 2016 has already been quite a bit of excitement, with announcements we all expected combined with some that are coming totally out of left field. So far I haven’t written much of anything about it simply due to me waiting for the bulk of the announcements I would care about (namely Sony and Microsoft) …

Many gamers felt the Games with Gold offerings in May 2016 were sub par. Even I felt they were rather hit and miss, but I never turn down a chance for free games, and I always look forward to what the next month will offer – you never know when a random game will become …
