Dear Courtney,
Why are you and the surviving members of Nirvana so pissy about Kurt Cobain being an unlockable character in Guitar Hero 5? I can understand how it might not look right to you when a grunge artist like him is in the game playing a Bon Jovi Song, but that’s not up to you to [...]

PS2 owners seem very upset that they can’t buy the new Beatles Rock Band for their beloved system. Even with the PS2 in so many homes, EA decided not to make a version of the game for the slowly dying system. Does this mark the end of the PS2? Will the Madden or Guitar Hero [...]

Lately I have been trying to determine whether to banish the PS2 to the basement. I decided that I can’t bring myself to do it yet because I have invested so much into it. I have all the Rock Band gear. The drums, 2 guitars and a microphone. I also have a headset, network card [...]

I was at GameStop the other day with money to spend. I picked up an Xbox 360, then looked around for a game to buy. I quickly realized that I was going to have to pony up over $300 for the experience. Even more if I wanted a headset, 2nd controller, etc. I simply cannot [...]

I came across a copy of Electronic Gaming Monthly from July 1989. I discovered that this Friday the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) turns 20 years old. I simply cannot believe it has been that long since that system came out. Oooh! It can generate 512 colors on the screen and a 320 x 224 resolution. [...]

Today I will come home from work and will desire to sit down at my most powerful computer and either do some work or gaming. I will not be able to though. For today is the day Sims 3 finally arrives. Chicks everywhere will be hypnotized by this game for hours. Husbands and boyfriends everywhere [...]

Who knew back in 2000 that 9 years later the PlayStation 2 would still be going so strong? The price slash of the PS2 down to $99 really made people go out and buy the system. It looks like this system will never go away.
Here are the top consoles for April 2009:
1. Nintendo DSi
2. Nintendo [...]

I was looking at my PS2 in the corner. I noticed it’s gathering dust. It saddened me for a moment because I realized I haven’t enjoyed many of the games that came out for the system. See, I have this problem. I am grown up, have a job, and have little time for gaming. Because [...]

I originally didn’t consider purchasing a Wii Fit. The games looked way too simple for me to enjoy. We’re in an age of complex video games that require thousands of buttons to have fun. Skiing downhill? What kind of fun would that be for a video game. I purchased one though after my girfriend told [...]

I don’t ask for much when I eat fast food from a drive-up window, but it’s the little things that make the difference. I used to live in Chicago, and for the most part every McDonald’s and Burger King there got it right. Napkins, ketchup and salt would automatically be placed in the bag almost [...]
