I’ve only ever played a few cel shaded games during my illustrious gaming career. Heck… there’s not really that many to choose from. I’ve played a little Zelda: Wind Waker, I played through the first few levels of XIII (stupid checkpoint system) and I even played a little Jet Set Radio Future when [...]

I saw this over on Joystiq the other day and thought it deserved a Totally Pwned! post. It seems that the editorial staff of 1UP.com got pwned by the director of Gamevideos.com. Using some pre-recorded footage of Metriod Prime 2, a PS1 driving game, a ‘replica’ Wiimote and a laptop battery to pose [...]
Except for this one…
I’m no Honda fanboy and to be honest I have no desire to ever drive a Civic. But this ad just tugs at my geeky heartstrings. It’s Tron-a-rific!
I contemplated on my drive home and realized I’d forgotten a couple of oddballs from those early years. Here are some of those for you, with some emphasis on Windows CE clamshells and similar systems. Keep in mind that at one time or another I owned each of the machines shown here and in the [...]
I’ve owned a lot of PDAs in my life. Ever since the first Palm Pilots came out I’ve been fascinated by them. I’ve always been a contrarian, though, so while I’ve owned a few Palms, I’ve never had them long. My history is a long and strange one. Click on through for pictures and summaries.
Wii’s Far Cry… Look At All Those Trii’s
Published by November 9th, 2006 in Game Vids and Nintendo. 0 CommentsI’ll admit that I haven’t seen the Wii or PS3 in the flesh yet. However, I have seen plenty of game footage from both and to be honest, I’m pleasantly surprised with the Wii. There’s no doubt that the Wii is in third place when it comes to graphical realism, but from what [...]
I can’t help but wonder this week… at what point do you slip across that invisible border that divides reality from that other world most of us refer to as insanity? At what point are you so dependant on a piece of hardware that no amount of time or money is too much? [...]
Well, it’s been a wild ride (quite literally) for former Gizmondo CEO Stefan Eriksson. It was only a couple years ago that he was trying to provide the gamer community with a new handheld gaming device but little did anyone know that the Gizmondo was doomed from the beginning. The handheld was actually [...]
Metroid By BitFlicks
Published by November 7th, 2006 in Game Vids, Geek Fun and Nintendo. 0 CommentsThe guys over at BitFlicks have created yet another sweet lego-mation video of one of the all time NES greats. This week Samus Aran gets a lego makeover as she blasts her way through the underworld of Planet Zebes. I’ve embedded the clip below, but you’ll have to head on over to BitFlicks [...]
DailyTech got their hands on the new G80 from Nvidia, and evidently it cooks. Aging gamers like me can only hope it drives the cost of last-gen cards down a little bit, so I can play Railroad Tycoon and X-com with 4x AA. Anyhoo, here’s the link to the article. It cooks - about 50% quicker than [...]
