May 15, 2012 Look at the games that we have today. They look all nice and polished and stuff, we strive for realism in games all of the time. If it doesn't look real, it looks like crap. Back then, getting realism in a game was difficult, hell...even getting a 3D perspective what felt like it was impossible! Then Star Fox came along and said, "Graphics?! HELL YEA MAN! We have the Super FX chip!"
May 8, 2012 Skateboarding...I think everyone tried it at least once. They either failed miserably at it, or followed through and were able to pull off at least an Ollie or something. When Tony Hawk hit the scene with the X Games in the late 90's, he revolutionized skateboarding and we followed him too. Then the video game came out, and then even your 5 year old brother could be a skateboarding mad man....and we loved it.
May 2, 2012 Mad Max is a pretty sweet movie. It was the first movie the featured a new actor straight from Australia...that actor today is Mel Gibson. The movie was about a dude who was taking revenge on a gang that killed his family, also searching for gas to fuel his car.
Then came a game that 'supposedly' had nothing to do with Mad Max, but all the similarities were there. The game though...was actually pretty kick ass!
April 26, 2012 The game that pretty much started it all! First person shooters today are the big gaming genre. Everyone is playing first person shooters! Online play, noob killers, blah blah blah....but don't forget your roots! It all has to start somewhere. Before you were killing other people in other countries, you were killing demons from HELL! In DOOM!
April 2, 2012 Dude....it's freakin' Duck Hunt....the real question is, who hasn't played Duck Hunt? It was the free game that you got with your NES back in the day. When you were not playing Super Mario Bros with your buds, you were shooting ducks....and hopefully that damn dog that laughed at you when you missed....I hated that dog.
March 26, 2012 Games can be difficult....games today are easy...games back then were designed to be frustrating and have you chuck your game controller or system against the wall. There is game is pretty much impossible to beat unless you have a Game Genie attached to your game, cause this game will kick your ass. I have played it for ever 15 years, and I STILL CAN"T BEAT IT!
March 19, 2012 Sometimes hand-held gaming does not get enough love...hence why this weeks Games To Try Before You Die is a hand-held game. I have been playing this game quite a bit lately since you can download it onto you Nintendo 3DS. Even though there is only like 4 worlds, you will keep playing those 4 worlds for freakin' ever.
March 5, 2012 So I may be dating myself here pretty hardcore, cause I wasn't even born when this game graced the Atari 2600. The cool thing about Atari games, is that you can get some amazing drinking games out of them. Since it is all about scoring the highest score. One of the best drinking games could come from CIRCUS ATARI!
February 27, 2012 Honestly, Mega Man games are easily some of the best games out there. Platforming goodness at its finest. The NES games were fun, challenging, and just kinda cool. They still leave a staple today and how platforming games should be done. The originals are good and all, but Mega Man X for SNES....OOOOOOOH MAAAAANNN!!!!
February 20, 2012 Games today are way to easy...there always seems to be a way to do something easier. From a strategy guide to some dude showing you "How to..." on a YouTube video. Well I have a game for you that will make you throw your controller at your friends face because of the difficulty....and that is Comix Zone for Genesis.

July 24, 2011 If there is a series that needs a good reboot, let me say that again. A GOOD REBOOT, it is Actraiser.
