Absolutely brutal week and we hope everyone affected by the THQ closure and the beginnings of the Atari bankruptcy lands happily and safely. At least Nintendo tried to lighten the mood so don’t you ever change Big N, and by the looks of their 2013 plans, it doesn’t look like we have to worry about that at least. While I mainly played new games in this past week, my gaming felt decidedly old school. From the classic JRPGness of Ni [...]

Controller, joystick, control pad, joy pad. What we call them might differ, but they all play the same role. Without them we would be unable to find the princess in another castle, or defeat the vile red falcon. As much as the games of our past mean so much to us, [...]
This week’s REPLY TO ALL is going in a different direction. Instead of being inspired by someone else’s idea, I came up with my own question.
