Hey! Play! Bombermine is 1,000 Player Bomberman

There have been a surprising number of new Bomberman games this generation, but everyone has their favorite classic version to point to. Honestly, I thought the series peaked with 4 players until I got into a few awesome 8 player matches. So maybe more is better, or at least worth trying for free. Bombermine is a free Flash Bomberman-clone that puts 1,000 players in the same game. Same rules, bigger maze. The game is in beta right now and ready [...]

Hey! Watch! The Ending of Super Mario Bros. 3 in First Person

Mario games have always been a lighthearted affair, but maybe that was all just a matter of perspective. Brandon Laatsch and his special effects team have put together an intense recreation of what Mario was actually seeing during the final stages of Super Mario Bros. 3 including the final encounter with Bowser. We all know Mario has some serious platforming skills, but bouncing off of flying cannonballs has an entirely different feel when seen from a first person perspective. Although [...]

Hey! Wear! The Legend of Zelda Temple Hoodie Collection

While I still love geeking out with my more straight-forward graphic tees, I also enjoy the more subtley design video game apparel. These new hoodies at Fangamer inspired by the temples of The Legend of Zelda series definitely pay tribute in a way that fans will appreciate while being a bit more covert and fashionable than other gamer gear. Should you trust my definition of fashionable? That’s debatable, since I once considered a triforce facial tattoo, but that shouldn’t stop [...]

Hey! Watch! 90′s Nintendo Promo Videos

As a survivor of heavy doses of Nintendo propaganda, nothing is quite so therapeutic as reliving my favorite youth drug of choice. There’s just something incredible about how badly 90′s advertising has aged. Lucky for all of us, YouTube user JJ Hendricks has uploaded handful of promotional videos of Nintendo’s finest work. I can’t really bash em, all I can say is, no matter the quality, it worked on me. Fun fact: It seems Sega still thinks it’s the 90′s, [...]

Hey! Play! Steam Roulette to Pick a Game For You

Finally, gamers now have a weapon in the growing battle against their Steam backlog. By entering your Steam ID into Steam Roulette this free service will scan your game library and randomly select a game for you to play. It seems simple, but the payoff of having something else solve the greatest of first world problems is priceless. No longer are you solely responsible for having to choose which game to play. Whether you use this newfound freedom to conquer [...]

Hey! Watch! Hotline Miami Invades Other Games

Oh, how I love the violence and speed of Hotline Miami. Bursting into locations full of clueless bad guys who brutally die before they even know you are in the room. It’s cathartic and the hero of Hotline Miami is insane. Naturally, YouTube user PulpitPower must have started to wonder what it would be like if this character showed up in other games. Poor Pac-Man. Never stood a chance. Hey! – It’s a weekly shot of gamer culture. Source: Game [...]

Hey! Play! The Best Part of Monkey Island – Insult Swordfighting in a Browser

Let’s face it, the main reason I’ve been trying to talk people into playing The Secret of Monkey Island ever since it came out is so that they can play one of my favorite sequences in video games – Insult Swordfighting. Now, there’s no longer the hindrance of playing the great game around it as a browser version of the insult swordfighting scenes from Monkey Island 1 and 3 is now available. It’s a truly educational experience on the nuances [...]

Hey! Watch! Game Boy as an Android Gamepad

If CES didn’t scratch your itch for Android gaming or sexy devices, maybe you are just a bit more hands-on or old school. Either way I’d like to direct you to Brian Benchoff from Hack A Day’s recent project combining an Android phone, a Game Boy, and a Wii-mote into one memorable retro-modern handheld gaming device. While an SNES game may not be the best choice to demonstrate the capabilities of the “Gamedroid” it still reminded me of what has [...]

Hey! Listen! Armcannon Returns with LegVacuum 2

Armcannon is one of the best video game cover/reimaginist/progressive metal bands around so I recommend that you pay attention when they release a new album. So pay attention today because LegVacuum 2 is available now. With hits from Ninja Gaiden, Chrono Trigger, Castelvania 3, F-Zero, Killer Instinct, Mega Man 3, and Final Fantasy what really makes LegVacuum 2 stand out is the interpretations of the classic songs and how multiple songs are combined into one epic tribute. Armcannon isn’t just [...]

Hey! Watch! Legend of Zelda: Pot Smasher

Let’s face it, a majority of the townsfolk that Link encounters during his adventures are a little bit off. I’ve always felt though that they had their reasons for being a bit standoffish to our hero. After all, Link has some strange behaviors of his own, especially considering that he isn’t exactly invited into most places that he visits. Leave it to Freddie Wong and Rocket Jump to bring to light one of Link’s more anti-social qualities: Hey! – It’s [...]
