Seeing as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are making their way back into the downloadable game spotlight on July 22, I am often reminded of how far consoles have come in terms of technology.

Dance Dance Revolution Club Version Dreamcast Genre: Rhythm Developer: Konami Computer Entertainment Japan Pubilsher: Konami Release Date: 04/27/2000 Even with the popularity of Dance Dance Revolution in the U.S. (which, admittedly, has been on an alarming nose dive since the birth of Guitar Hero), it’s guaranteed we will never see a domestic version of the […]
PSP Review: Sunday X Magazine (JP)
There’s just something about a crossover game that gets the blood boiling. Marvel Vs. Capcom and Capcom Vs. SNK still stand as some of the most memorable fighting experiences, Super Smash Bros. still sells like hotcakes and who could forget when the Battletoads and Double Dragons settled the score with the Shadow Boss and Dark […]

Gaming Session Blog #2
After staying up a little too late, I was able to grind through the story bits of Sleeping Dogs. Some thoughts: * Fairly mediocre game all around.

New game console backed by 63,000
While there have been rumblings of “download-only” video game consoles on the horizon, this alleged future of video games now has nearly $8.6 million to work with following the second most-successful Kickstarter campaign ever. While Gaikai and OnLive have toyed with the concept with a PC mindset, the Ouya console (pronounced “Ooh-yuh”) looks to tap […]
