Monster Hunter 3 Tri
Posted on April 29th, 2010 by
I can’t pretend to know anything about the Monster Hunter series except that it’s big in Japan, role-playing game-lite, hard, and filled to the brim with cool giant monsters that don’t look like people in rubber suits. Monster Hunter 3, excuse me, Monster Hunter Tri is all of these things. Filled with giant, and I might add very cool, monsters and is hard. It also gives a nod to role-playing in that you’ve got to upgrade your equipment – not your character – to survive.
The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai (Reader Review)
Posted on April 28th, 2010 by
ROFLCopter (age 15) has found an odd little game available on Xbox Live Arcade. It is likely the best game about a Samurai dishwasher (the job, not the appliance) ever made. Ladies and gentlemen, I present The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai and thank you ROFLCopter (readers can submit any review of any game they like at the email to your left)

Game Review: What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord? 2 (PSP)
Posted on April 25th, 2010 by
The sequel to one of the most wacky and creative PSP games is coming out soon in early May. Available on UMD this time, and a little later on PSN, What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord? 2 is the predecessor to an even longer title: Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This? The first title was so long that it’s been since shortened to What Did I Do To Deserve This, My Lord? In these games, you get to be the bad guy. Dig out dungeon mazes and fill them with monsters to kill waves of heroic adventurers. But this time, there’s more of everything. More monsters, more heroes, and more stages.
The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom
Posted on April 22nd, 2010 by
Available on Xbox Live or in Windows. I can’t believe I missed this game when it came out in early Feb. It just arrived for PC and I caught a commercial for it and – wow. Using German expressionalistic/surrealism to create a loopy platformer is a great idea. It’s a black and white world, with grainy film-stock and the protagonist is the villainous PB Winterbottom. A scourge, a rogue and a stealer of yummy pies. I like yummy pies, I like clever puzzle games, I like 2D platforming games and I like silent movies that make me think of a cross between Metropolis, Buster Keaton and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
I’m Working For Wario Now!
Posted on April 21st, 2010 by
Big news folks! I’ve got a new job! I’m making video games now! My boss is a big, fat, greedy man who has a zigzag moustache and his breath smells like garlic. And every time I ask when I’m getting paid, he always laughs like this: “WHA HA HA HA HAAAA!” Anyway, in this blog I thought I’d tell you about the people I work with at my new job, the history of the company, and a little bit about what I do there. (And for you more gullible types, yes this is just a very creative and silly blog about the newest game I’m really into right now: WarioWare D.I.Y. It’s a DS title that lets you create your own micro-games.).

The Bosses of Mega Man 10
Posted on April 17th, 2010 by
As a huge classic Mega Man fan, I wanted to talk a bit about the newest game in the series: Mega Man 10. I know it’s been out for over a month on WiiWare, but I downloaded the Xbox 360 version later on because, well no particular reason except I have MM9 on 360 as well. So here’s a blog with a quick mini-review of MM10, a rundown on the bosses, stages, and weapons, and my favorite classic Mega Man games in general.
