Question: What’s your Favorite NES Game of All Time?
The Nintendo Entertainment System will always go down as one of the greatest consoles of all time, for many of you it was your introduction to home gaming. The console that revitalized the industry after the crash of 1983, the NES introduced iconic characters, established franchises and paved the way for multiple genres. I could [...]
#365Games40: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island – SNES
Like most games released near the end of a 16-bit console’s life cycle, SMW2 is one of the best games released for the Super Nintendo. Awesome graphics and gameplay, excellent sound and a crazy challenge contributed to a game that was overlooked as gamers began to transition to new systems. Let’s get the story out [...]
R.I.P. Chuck Brown
We lost another musical great yesterday as Chuck Brown passed away at 75. Outside of the DMV (DC, Maryland and Virginia) he is probably best known for his song, Bustin’ Loose and his work with The Soul Searchers. If you aren’t familiar with the name The Soul Searchers then you’re probably familiar with a drum [...]
Walmart thinks Diablo III has ‘an interesting plot.’
I’m not sure what exactly is going on here with the description Walmart currently has online for Diablo 3 (found here: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Diablo-III-PC-Mac-PC/19237343?ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=19237343&sourceid=1500000000000003142040&veh=cse#Item+Description) but it was either written by kids in middle school or someone who dropped out of middle school and is currently employed as their online copy writer. I mean really, the second sentence [...]
Wolfenstein 3D is 20?
Wow, now this makes me feel old. I remember popping in the shareware floppy disks for Wolfenstein 3D and going around shooting Nazis for hours. I think the disk was blue. Anyway, the game that started the whole first-person shooter genre back in 1992 is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a free in-browser version of [...]

#365Games39: Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – DSiWare
File this under “games-I-should-have-reviewed-last-year.” Shantae: Risky’s Revenge is easily one of the best games I’ve played over the past few years and it takes a lot to impress me. A throwback sprite-based game that takes advantage of new technology, SRR combines that with an interesting story and decent soundtrack. In case you aren’t familiar with [...]
#365Games38: Beavis and Butt-Head – SNES
Beavis and Butt-Head are not role models. They’re not even human; they’re cartoons. Some of the things they do could cause a person to get hurt, expelled, arrested, possibly deported. To put it another way: Don’t try this at home. And that is how a cultural phenomenon began. A poorly animated cartoon series about 2 [...]
