SEX JOKE LOLZ! …Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let me explain what this game actually is. Half-Minute Hero is bizarre, and I say that lovingly. I’ve never played a game quite like it, and for that reason, it’s actually a bit difficult to explain in a way that makes any [...]

Five Things: Lunar: Silver Star Harmony
Lunar is another one of those series I never actually got around to playing when it was actually released. Thankfully, though, Sony seems to have decided that nostalgia is an awesome market to be tapped, and between the PSP re-releases of things I either never played in the first place (Lunar, the original Persona) or [...]
Five Things: God of War
I know what you’re thinking right now, and it is this: ZOMG HOW HAVE YOU NOT PLAYED GOD OF WAR UNTIL NOW KRATOS IS MADE OF EPIC WIN AND ALSO THERE ARE BOOBS!! ….well, you may not be thinking precisely that, but I bet it’s relatively close. And I admit, the fact that the first [...]
Five Things: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
I played Silent Hill: Shattered Memories on the PS2, months after it had already been released on the Wii, because I didn’t want to deal with waggle controls. This is a common theme with me, and demonstrates my overwhelming apathy (bordering, in fact, on antipathy) regarding the new generation of motion-sensitive gaming; Kinect and Move may [...]
Five Things: Cake Mania 2
As I write this, my fevered brain is attempting to cook itself inside my skull, so I really can’t be held accountable for anything that doesn’t make sense… like the fact that I am following through on my promise to write a column about Cake Mania 2. As a spiritual successor to the ridiculously popular [...]
Five Things: Mass Effect 2
I know, I know, it took me a really long time to get back to an Adult game (although really, Alan Wake counts, so shut up). I totally missed the boat on the first Mass Effect for a long time, only procuring a copy when the second one was imminent so that I would know [...]
Five Things: Alan Wake
Right, so I’m cheating a bit. I do have quite the list of completed games that I need to catch up on here, but I just finished Alan Wake, and I’m itching to write about it while the whole thing is still fresh. Anyway, this is MY column! I do what I want! /belligerent
Alan Wake, [...]
Five Things: Pokemon SoulSilver
I’ve played a lot of Pokemon games, but I’ve never actually made it all the way through one. What usually ends up happening is that I start playing, think “THIS IS SO AWESOME,” then get bored and meander off to do something else in about two hours. I don’t know why this has generally been [...]
