Remake It So: Mutant League Football

Being a subscriber to SEGA Channel had plenty of benefits. Not only was I the envy of my friends, but I was able to play a lot of titles over time. One of the titles I was most fond of was Mutant League Football. This game should be revived because the sports genre has become stale and, at times, boring. Who wouldn’t want to have a feature in Madden where you could take Tom Brady out via decapitation? I think, [...]

Shiniest Objects: You Bought It

No time to slow down now, just as the third Battlefield heats up reviews move off the charts and I continue to make bad puns. We actually put out two videos in one week and put our new stamp on our community infused In Gaming We Trust series. Every day we are on the look out for the most interesting news items in the gaming industry. Some make it on the site as headlines, and the articles that just miss [...]

In Gaming We Trust: What Exactly are Online Passes?

I posed a question on Twitter asking my friends and followers “What do you love/hate about online passes?” The results I got were quite interesting. I was met with general distrust in online passes. I also encountered the occasional Twitter user who did not know what online passes were. The interesting thing is no one really had a singular definition for online passes. As a matter of fact, most opinions and results I received were primarily against what online passes stood [...]

Games of Our Wives: The Sims 3

Like the other guys, I’m very lucky to be in a relationship with someone who tolerates the amount of time I spend either playing video games or writing/talking about them. And like a lot of… non-traditional gamers, my fiance plays some casual games on her iPad (yes, I’m marrying an Apple-user) every once in a while, but with the exception of a few rounds of Kinect Adventures!, never really seemed to get into traditional games with the exception of The Sims on her iPad.

Remake It So: Def Jam: Fight for NY

One of my most underrated experiences on the PS2 was the month I spent living out my thug life dreams in Def Jam: Fight for NY. The presentation layer of the game made me strangely invested in my created character. For some reason I got a huge kick out of pimping out my wardrobe and found myself strangely invested in my little D Reign and his quest for revenge. Beyond the setting and the ridiculous line up of hip hop [...]

Shiniest Objects: Show Us

EA was everywhere this week as the Battlefield 3 beta opened up and they finally revealed Syndicate. We went live this week on The Horrible Show, and some other stuff happened as Cole twisted our Remake It So series into something completely different. Every day we are on the look out for the most interesting news items in the gaming industry. Some make it on the site as headlines, and the articles that just miss the cut end up in [...]

It’s No Longer in the Game

Healthy competition has helped grow the game industry into what it is today. This growth spawned fantastic debates like Mario vs Sonic. Rivalries have resulted in the premature death of genres like guitar games, but there is a genre within the industry that desperately needs more competition and that is sports games. Exclusivity is king Just six short years ago you had the option to buy two NFL licensed games. The first option was of course the infamous Madden branded games while their competition was [...]

I Learned Something Today: Dante’s Inferno

I tend to live my life on the straight and narrow, doing my best not to stray into the void of society’s underbelly. While jail scares the crap out of me, the afterlife is my biggest motivation for doing right by my fellow man. I prefer clouds and harp music over daily pineapple enemas but after playing Dante’s Inferno, I’ve learned that eternal damnation can be avoided in more ways than simply being a solid dude. The Lessons of Dante’s [...]
