Where do you even begin with this game? I mean, c’mon….it’s freakin’ POKEMON! Back when this game came out, there were a few fans who read Nintendo Power and knew what it was all about, but it wasn’t until you heard about it on the playground or word of mouth…and this simple game became an [...]

Fighting games were amazing back in the 90's! Just that simple 1 vs 1 formula worked so well in the arcades. We didn't have to start fight on the street, we started fights on the arcade machines. The standard for fighting games at the time was either Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat. Button mashing punches at it's finest. Then this word came up in fight games named....COMBO!

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City…Was it Really That Bad?

Ned — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:00:10 +0000

I was so excited for this game! I have been a fan of Resident Evil for years. Ever since the first game came out, I watched my brother play it from beginning to end. Then I finally figured out how to play the game, and then my love for the series began. Resident Evil 1,2,3,4, Code Veronica, are all amazing games! Then the spin-offs began...and RE: Operation Raccoon City came around, with some really mixed reviews, some good...most bad.

If you grew up in the late 80's and 90's, you know who the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are. Pizza addicted turtles that happen to be ninjas. Man, cartoons were so much better in the 90's!

Ned — Wed, 02 May 2012 15:37:24 +0000

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!

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.

Games to Try Before You Die: Circus Atari

Ned — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 18:00:49 +0000

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!

Games to Try Before You Die: Mega Man X (SNES)

Ned — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:50:03 +0000

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!!!!
