True fact: I have never purchased LittleBigPlanet DLC. I’ve come close, as that Final Fantasy VII pack with Cloud, Sephiroth, Tifa, Aeris and Vincent was incredibly appealing, but I resisted. I thought I was strong enough to make due with the content already provided within the game, because there’s so much of it. But now more »

Michael Vick, when he’s playing well, is one of the most electrifying athletes ever to step on a football field. He has left a few coaches scratching their heads in the video game realm as well. A mobile quarterback just changes the way a defense plays. Now he’s appearing in his own game on iOS. more »

For all the lack of story and simple gameplay, first person shooters (FPS) has taken up more of my computer time than any other genre. Things have come a long, long, way from early Doom, where you lucky enough to get a connection and you didn’t need to use a mouse to aim.

In an era where arcade game graphics were along the lines of Space Invaders or Asteroids (i.e., blocky, crude line drawings), games like Dragon’s Lair were major quarter-eaters. I easily blew $50 trying to beat the dragon, or, more accurately, trying to navigate the castle only to be smacked down long before I made it to the actual lair. While this is a major arcade classic, it is so on graphics alone (that’s a screen shot, and miles ahead of the the black-and-white games there were still common when Dragon’s Lair came out). Game play is simple in principle. The knight, Dirk the Daring, enters a room. Some part of the room will flash (and this can be very subtle).

There are plenty of radioactive versions of things, but I’ll bet there haven’t been ninjas, that aren’t also talking turtles. Playstation 3 and PS Vita owners are about to find out. Grip Games, the minds behind such titles as 5-in-1 Arcade Hits, The Impossible Game and Foosball 2012 are bringing forth another intrguing game to more »

The Plants vs Zombies Adventures beta has begun! EA and PopCap decided to capitalize on the success of Plants vs. Zombies and social networking sites to bring a spin-off of one of the best tower defense games to the masses. While the beta is naturally geared towards making progression easy and doesn’t feature constant wallet more »

There’s great news out of Japan today, direct from Hideradio! Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Platinum Games’ unique and pretty well received installment in the Metal Gear series, is getting a port. I know what you’re thinking and no. Sorry, but this isn’t news of a Wii U port. Go back to playing that Rayman Legends more »

Hey everyone. Sorry for the massive Important Importable delays, as some tragic Lada family happenings this month meant I had to prioritize real life over virtual ones. Even so, today’s informational organization of Hyperdimension Neptunia will be more trunicated than usual. I’m still going to go over every Hyperdimension Neptunia game, both immediately available and more »
