Ten Disney Classics That Need a Remastering

The Walt Disney Company has been moving to get directly involved in the video games industry for a number of years now. This idea moved them to acquire Warren Spector’s talents for their Epic Mickey reboot and push heavily in to the mobile and online sphere of gaming. While the success of these new ventures have been hit and miss, it finally seems like Disney has settled down and decided to invest in what they do best; they’ve decided to [...]

Earthbound Coming to Virtual Console — Prayers Have Been Answered

After years of asking, Nintendo has finally budged and will be releasing the Super Nintendo classic Earthbound on the Wii U Virtual Console later this year.

Now is as good a chance as any for these newcomers to get acquainted with his origins, and one of the best role-playing games that graced the Super Nintendo.

A Link to the Past Gets A Sequel — But What Does It Mean?

Yes, you read that correctly. Nintendo has been cooking up a brand new 3DS Legend of Zelda adventure that will take place in same timeline and Hyrule as The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past from the Super Nintendo. While there is no official North American title yet, it can be safe to assume that it will probably be A Link to the Past 2 as the Japanese title, Zelda no Densetsu: Kamigami no Triforce 2, simply adds a 2 [...]

Spotify and Rdio Playlist Inspired by Hotline Miami

Hotline Miami has one of the most fun and original video game soundtracks of the past year (or several, in my opinion). Both the visuals and the music of the game were inspired by the movie Drive, which I also loved. Before watching Drive or playing Hotline Miami, 80s culture kind of, well… creeped me out. Both Drive and Hotline are creepy in their own right, but surprisingly, they actually stimulated my interest for this kind of music. I [...]

Ultratron Review – Robotron Revengeance

In a high contrast frenzy of lasers and electronic beats, an indie game that hearkens back to the days of old school top-down arcade shooters has blasted its way into 2013. Some of you may have been instantly reminded of Robotron 2084, which has unfortunately not made an official comeback for the past couple of video game generations. However, there is now a spiritual successor, ready to challenge gamers once again just as they did back in the day. For [...]

[LTTP Review] Oddworld: The Greatest Story Ever (Half) Told

Years ago, a friend once told me to “believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.” Looking back, I find that actually applies to everyday life pretty perfectly. Whether it’s a grade school rumor, the hype for an upcoming movie, or even a game that’s been out for years that you ignored only because it didn’t ‘sound good’ to you. In hindsight, it’s for the best I waited so long to play them based off [...]

[Chipfinite] The Best Video Game Music Playlist on Spotify

Whether classic or modern, chip-tune or orchestral, I love music from video games. If you love video games, but haven’t tried working or browsing the Internet to your favorite video game music, it’s definitely worth a try. It’s like a loophole that allows you to enjoy games while doing something more productive. There is a debate over whether video games are truly art, but the music alone qualifies them- in my opinion, video game pieces encompass some of the most powerful [...]

[Review] Darkstalkers: Resurrection — Back Like Tupac

When you’re in the mood to battle werewolves, succubae, cat-women, fish people, or Little Red Riding Hood, look no further than Darkstalkers: Resurrection. Capcom brings two 2-D fighters, Night Warriors: Darkstalkers’ Revenge and Darkstalkers 3, both released in Arcades and then Sega Saturn and PlayStation 1, respectively, to the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. This Capcom fighter has often been overshadowed by Street Fighter, which has been given a superfluous amount of iterations and the 2.5-D treatment on more than [...]
