Why I’ll Never Give Up on Nintendo
Nintendo is everyone’s favorite punching bag these days. Whether it be through the mishandling of the launch of its newest handheld the 3DS, or the lack of quality games being released on the Wii, Nintendo has taken a beating on the internet. And there might be recorded evidence that I am one of those bashers, [...]
Proprietary Gaming Staring Death in the Face?
The 3DS is making a resurgence (or first-surgence depending on who you talk to). The PS Vita is going to release to North America on February 22, 2012, and there are people already claiming how the PS Vita will “die a horrible premature death.” Well, that’s just not good news when you’re launching a new…anything. [...]
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Review: Learning To Fly
The Wii is fading, no question. In a generation that revolves around online play and high-definition graphics, the Wii has become more of a party system for casual gamers. It just wasn’t putting out the memorable gaming experiences that made Nintendo such a household name in the first place. That’s what makes The Legend of [...]
The 3 Degrees of Gaming Innovation
From flame wars to mega-gaming marathons that would shake lesser gamers at their cores, this holiday season is filled with record-breaking numbers, controversy and gaming (duh). Holiday gaming seasons are no strangers to massive quantities of AAA games along with their cohorts of lesser-known games that become sleeper contenders for games of the year. While [...]

Games of Our Wives: New Super Mario Bros. Wii
My wife’s gaming habits are strange. She likes point and click adventure games like Myst and Monkey Island. But she also likes puzzle games like Zuma and Angry Birds. However, on certain occasions she’ll gravitate towards a game that I had no idea she’d love. When she first played New Super Mario Bros. on the [...]
Games of Shame: Boom Blox
I really have no idea what prompted me to purchase Boom Blox upon its release some time ago. Was it Steve Spielberg’s involvement or did a run through Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles leave me yearning for the lighthearted (aka, kid friendly) atmosphere the Wii was built around? Regardless, the game found its way into my [...]
Think of the Adults: Potentially Real Virtual Reality Problems
Despite E3′s less than exciting showing this past month, the one thing that struck me about the conference was the directions game were going. We’re on the brink of the next generation and the quest for immersion has taken the idea of gaming to an unprecedented level of realism. On top of that, developers have [...]
What Did I Expect?
Back when I was in high school, I remember walking into the local independent record store with a friend of mine. I don’t exactly recall what we were doing there, but I do remember the exchange we had with the employee standing behind the counter. It was 1999 and Axl Rose’s long delayed “Chinese Democracy” [...]
Hey! Listen! Reverse that Skyward Sword Music
Who doesn’t love Zelda music? For those of you with souls, I’m sure you felt right at home with The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword trailers because that is most assuredly Zelda music. Have a taste, but prepare yourself for a blown mind. Solid trailer right? Complete with the next Zelda tune that you’ll be [...]
The War on Horror Continues, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D Out June 28
Mercenaries 3D looks to continue what the mini games from RE:3 through RE:5 began, with minor alterations such as skill customization, first person aiming and the ability to move while reloading. You’ll also be able to take part in coop games with a friend through the games “Duo” mode, so awkward first dates can quickly [...]
Shiniest Objects: Massive Revelations
Troubles at Sony continue as announcements come out over two of gaming’s biggest franchises. I think Shepard would like a do over in the animus. We had a heavy browser based gaming week here on HN and wanted to thank Northway games for agreeing to Ethan’s interview, and we’d also like to thank Final Fantasy [...]
