Games To Try Before You Die: Final Fantasy VIII (PSX)
March 15, 2013 Final Fantasy...what else is there to say? This series has been around what seems like forever. It has it's highs, and it's lows...most of those in my opinion is anything beyond Final Fantasy 10. Anyway, the Final Fantasy's on the PSX were amazing games! FF VII broke the mold, and FF IX was an amazing throwback to the old stylings. FF VIII though, is considered the 'black sheep' of that era. I think otherwise though...

Local Metal Moment: Through The Ashes
March 6, 2013 Before a band get’s big, they have to start off as a local band. Listeners today are getting “too used” to hearing the top hits on the radio. As a band, you need to start somewhere, and radio station’s don’t look at local metal enough. WGRD is putting an end to that! For this week’s LOCAL METAL MOMENT, we are checking out Through The Ashes!

Games To Try Before You Die: NBA Jam (SNES/Sega/etc.)
March 5, 2013 HE'S ON FIRE! BOOM SHAKA LAKA! JAMS IT IN! Sound familiar? Even if you are not a fan of sports games. NBA JAM was amazing, and still holds up insanely well. How could you forget 2 on 2 basketball with some of the greats like Scottie Pippin, Larry Bird, and Bill Clinton! Wait....huh?

Virtual Boy…Was it Really That Bad?
March 3, 2013 Back in the mid 90's, there were 2 game consoles that were dominating the video game market. You either had a Super Nintendo or a Sega Genesis. Towards the middle of the 90's, these two juggernaut systems were reaching their end. Sony, Sega, and Nintendo were ready to bring in the new age of gaming with Playstation, Sega Saturn, and Nintendo 64. One problem though, the Nintendo 64 was taking way to long to come out. Nintendo tried to fill the void with something that is viewed today as "The Red Menace."

Games To Try Before You Die: Mega Man X2
February 17, 2013 If you haven't figured it out yet, I am quite the fan of the Mega Man Series. Each one of them is awesome (the older ones that is). Like Mega Man X, the "X" series just seemed to be getting better and better. Super Nintendo was a platform that required perfection in it's games, which you don't see in games today. For another standard in platforming, look no further than Mega Man X2.
