Go! Go! Susumu! Driller No. 1!

In honor of Mr. Driller Online being released on Xbox Live last week, I thought I’d do a tribute blog to all things Driller. Though you may want to skip down to the bottom of this blog first for a quick warning about Mr. Driller Online. Almost didn’t make me want to write a Mr. Driller blog right there, but I still like Mr. Driller so I wrote this anyway.

The Brawl Blog

Right now I’m playing the heck out of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, so I felt compelled to write something about it. This really isn’t a review, per se, just a bunch of random opinions of mine about the game. OK, so maybe it is a review, I don’t know. And I guess I should say there will be spoilers in this blog, too.

Cary’s Top Five Least Favorite Pac-Man Games

Pac Man AtariI like Pac-Man a lot, so it would probably be hard for me to list my five favorite Pac games. Though games like Super Pac-Man, Pac-Man Arrangement, Pac-Man: Championship Edition, Pac-Mania, and Pac-Pix would probably be good contenders. But even though I’m a big Pac-Man fan, I’ll admit that some Pac games are REALLY bad. So for this list, here are my five least favorite Pac-Man games.

Review: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney–with BONUS!

APOLLO BOXVideo games allow us to try out all sorts of occupations.  A brave explorer, a criminal, master surgeon, or princess-saving plumber.  But only one game series lets you be a…lawyer?  The Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series has delighted Nintendo DS gamers with three great titles.  Now for the fourth game, there’s a new attorney in town.  Can Apollo Justice prove that he’s got the Wright stuff?

Dishwashers, Little Gamers, and JellyCars!

JELLYCARLast week, Xbox Live introduced a new feature (and if it’s not really new, it’s still new to me), called XNA Community. With XNA, people from all over can make little games and send them to Microsoft. And some of them they’ll put up as demos and maybe full games for everyone to play on Xbox Live! Now, I’m not exactly sure how the game making process of XNA works. I’ve been a gamer all my life, but I’ve no interest in making games myself. I’d rather just play them. But I do know you can now download seven new XNA demo games on Xbox Live right now! I figured I’d make a little blog about them. Now, keep in mind that these are demos of games that are works in progress, so anything negative I say about them isn’t really a bad thing. Just some things that might help improve the full copy of the game if it ever came to that.

KIRBYIn honor of Kirby 64 coming to the Wii Virtual Console this week, I thought I’d repost a tribute blog to the pink puff. Kirby is one of my favorite Nintendo characters, but he and his games are oft ignored, I think.
