Wow, a year has passed by already. This blog has seen many things in one year, from live blogcasts to hackings/clearings, etc. I really want to see some progress done on here in order to attract more people on here, so please fill out this survey. All answers will be accepted (don't use profanity or anything, however) and will be taken into consideration as to how this blog goes.

In a recent interview with Shegiru Miamoto (correct my spelling), he hinted at if Nintendo should charge for its online service. I personally have to say no about this since Nintendo Wi-Fi isn't really a service worth money. There is little socialization in the service unless it involves Friend Codes or pre-written text, which can hinder games like the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops on onlime

We've seen game remakes and ports since the Golden Age of the Arcade, in which people wanted to play their favorite arcade games like Zaxxon, Venture, and even Dragon's Lair right at the comfort of their own home to not have to shell out all of their quarters. They were popular since the arcade version of those games. However, the Video Game Crash of 1983 occured during the Atari 2600 verison of

We've heard all about how the iPad can do wonders, but it seems as though Apple really wants to screw over every gaming company, even though they're still eons away. One of the things that the iPad is capable of is HD gaming that looks a lot better than a PSP. Plus, since it is effortless to produce an iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad game and only requires review from Apple (and we all know about how

Well, we all know about the world wide web and how everything is starting to connect to it, from the Nintendo DSi to the Microsoft Xbox 360. Well, I've decided to 1-up a bit and open up a Facebook page in order to do some things that I can't do here...like show that I actually have fans and whatnot. If you don't have a Facebook, feel free to make one so that way you may become a fan (well, now it

The classic arcade seems to be a nearly extinct species. While there are some arcade games that seem true to the classic games (Crusin', for example.), it seems as though all is lost. Arcade games were known for innovative (at the time) controls, such as the rolling ball in Crystal Kingdom or the light gun from just about every arcade game. There are still some arcade games that are becoming

Well, I figured I should try to make the blog more appealing by making some changes. One of them is the first thing you see, which is a new theme that still reflects upon the same color styling that I have used since May 2009. In addition, I will be linking my YouTube and this blog together so that ways you make look at a few of the games that are around here. In addition, I have a slight

The war has always gone on about which console is the best. However, there are not a lot of references towards the PC when it comes to this world. Everyone just thinks that Microsoft's only weapon is the Xbox 360, but those people are quite very wrong. Everyone thinks that Nintendo is selling the most consoles, but those people are, again, wrong. I'm not going to say anything about Sony right now

We've all heard about the rumors for the fabled Zelda Wii. It's really starting to annoy me in many ways. For starters, we have websites that have conflicting rumors, so we have no clue as to what is true and what isn't false. Recently, someone online released a set of photos that appear to be a mod of either The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess or The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. In addition, some

Well, it seems that 2010 has decided to show its unpredictable face. What new trends shall begin and which ones shall end in the new decade? Remember the 1970's was the "Golden Age of the Arcade", the 1980's was the "Nintendo Empire" (Nintendo nearly monopolised the video game company until Supreme Court slapped them on the wrist for anti-trust laws), the 1990's was the "Birth of the Polygon" (

Well, we've heard it from Xbox Live users about how Nintendo Wifi lacks freedom such as speech, and how you can only do a lot of things if you have friend codes. I do think it is nice, but I do think Nintendo should loosen the leash a little bit more. I'm thinking that in perhaps later installments, Nintendo Wifi could enable voice speech to people of a certain age group. For instance, if it is a

Well, we've all done it before. We've all, at one point, played a portable version of a console game. If you haven't, or you think you haven't, then you may actually be surprised. There are quite a few games that are either ports or sequels onto portable consoles. Star Wars: Battlefront is an example. There were the two console versions, then they made a version for the PSP. While the PSP version

First, I'd like to wish you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving. I'd figure I'd make a post about 12 hours before the big Macy's parade.However, its Black Friday that really gets gamers, even though not many stores do things for gaming. The only game thing I found was a DS Lite at Wal*Mart, yet nothing so far from Gamestop, EB Games, etc. Then again, it seems almost like Black Friday each day with

Well, we've all heard of the console wars. However, we can all start to formulate Nintendo and Sony's worst nightmare. It isn't Microsoft. In fact, it is Microsoft's worst nightmare in the computer world as well. No, it isn't homebrew or piracy (but they're quite a large foe as well), but rather Apple. When you honestly think about it, the Apple computers have almost no games on it (or the cheap

The DS is perhaps one of the most unique systems ever released with its touch screen, microphone, and dual screen system. However, for some reason, it is the racing genres that make use of the dual screen design, which is actually a good thing. The typical racer has a cluttered HUD with speed, position, damage, map, weapon, etc. The dual screen is actually underrated because it clears it up.

Honestly, what is up with all of the mini-game games on the Wii? Plus, why are they all the exact same thing? I know, the third party hasn't liked Nintendo since the Nintendo 64, but, don't you think they would want to give them a second chance? It is these things that scare away the hardcore gamers to the Xbox360 and PS3. I mean, the 360 and the PS3 have better visual capabilities and a larger

Yes, these two game types are in fierce competition. The classic 2D side scroller with games such as Super Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda, etc. with all of its sprites and such on consoles such as the Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Nintendo DS, etc. However, in our new age of polygons and textures (well, not that new), sprites have been suffering a trend of becoming obsolete by new

OK, yes, I really did open up a store. No, it isn't one of those kiosks you find in the mall (But it's like it), for I don't have the money for that (Why did you think I opened it up in the first place?). Instead, I've opened up a CafePress store for your viewing pleasure. I don't mind if you don't purchase anything, but its just something I made out of the blue. Yes, this is a promise that more

There are a lot of games with various themes. Some being futuristic, some being fantasy, and some being realistic and modern. However, this type of theming greatly adjusts the level design of the game. Some games manage to have great level design that fits the theme, and yet some have good levels with a bad or mismatched theme. Flight simulators typically have a realistic landscape when they're

Well, as sad as it is for me to say this, my blog has been wiped as you may have noticed. I have created no personal backup of the blog. However, I'm going to see if Blogger will be nice enough to resurrect my old posts. If not, then it appears I'll have to start completely from scratch. This is the result of someone hacking my Google account, which resulted in this and my YouTube being taken
