Five Things: Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

It’s been a long time since I played either of the Kingdom Hearts games for the PS2, so even though they remain among the few titles that I will never even consider trading in (a somewhat rare honor these days), I’ll readily admit that I had to hit up Wikipedia for a refresher on the [...]

Five Things: Final Fantasy XIII

As many of you know, I used to write a semi-regular column for this site chronicling my (mis)adventures attempting to reduce the size of my considerable video game backlog.  It sort of trailed off into nothingness, though; I play a lot of games, but I play them at my own pace, which is sometimes very [...]

Bonus Dungeons: Leah’s Final Fantasy Primer, Part 2

In lieu of my usual Backlogged post for the week (and because I haven’t really been doing much other than playing WoW obsessively), I’ve decided to return to my Final Fantasy rankings for the next installment.  I really wasn’t expecting the outpouring of support that X-2 got, but I still won’t be including it in [...]

Lumines Supernova for PSN

I have been addicted to Lumines ever since I got my Playstation Portable in 2005, and have played most versions of the game since its release, except for the Lumines Plus for the Playstation 2.

Review: Rocket Riot XBLA

New IPs have become a huge rarity in the video game space. More often than not we see sequels or spinoffs rather than a truly new IP or an interesting art style. Codeglue managed to make Rocket Riot a fun and interesting game without reliance on an existing property or super realistic graphics. [...]

We Might Actually Hate Ourselves: New Podcast Segment?

In our never-ending quest to come up with some sort of consistent segment for Some Other Podcast, we’ve been through a bunch of ideas, but nothing has stuck yet.  This time, though, we think we’ve stumbled on something good; the new segment that we’d like to try will be reviewing video game movies.  Our first [...]

Sweet Jesus, Why?: A Brief Prinny Review

Have you done something horrible in your life that you would like to atone for?  Do you enjoy being beaten around by little schoolgirls in fox costumes (ewwwwww)?  Do you own a PSP?  If you answered “yes” to at least two of those three questions, I have a perfect game for you.
