The Latest Wii Fad: All About The Mario Kart Games
If you are a child of the 1980s or 1990s, you know Mario and his brother Luigi very well. These cartoon plumbers were the heroes of a series of best-selling Nintendo games, where they fought monsters and went down hidden passages in pipes to complete quests. Now Mario is back in an equally popular game for Nintendo Wii: The Mario Kart Game, better known simply as Mario Kart. Who can turn down the adorable old Yoshi in the Mario Kart games? We sure cant, so pay close />
The Mario Kart games can be found on the Super Nintendo and Gamecube ......

* Access to over 2000 Free Games that you can play using the HomebreWare Bundle
Random NES games...
Retro runs~ randomly playing through text based games only to be left very dissapointed. I didnt know the NES had that many bad games. They seemed fun, but when you actually play, its a bit& All Nintendo systems probably share this one issue. Sucky games. there arent -that- many good GBA games, SNES had its share of duds, N64 wasnt all too bad, GC couldve had a few more ports of good old games before dying. NDS gets a lot of bad games that arent really&no comments. Wii isnt all that bad, but too many games put emphasis on USE ......

Piracy is a huge problem all over the internet. Some of the ways that users are taking money from the creators and owners are:
Software programs and PC games

One of the oldest ways that people have obtained pirated goods from the internet. This form of piracy really took off with the production of software cracks. These software cracks allow the user to have a key generated so that they can avoid paying the programmers that created the software for it. People have found a ......

When the year 1999 is mentioned, what do you remember about it most? Who topped the music charts? (He really did!) Where you were when the clock struck 12? Scary predictions? The Millennium Bug? Planes falling out of the sky? Your microwave not working in the morning? The end of the world? Or just where you were going to ......
Going back in time
Its not uncommon for me, especially knowing how rarely Im actually able to purchase new games, to go back to old titles and play them through again. If the game is a favourite, I might play it over a dozen times and get half decent at it, like with Banjo-Kazooie or with Donkey Kong Country. Other times I just try to see whether a great game holds up after my initial hype for it has settled. I hope to play through games like Bioshock and Resident Evil 4 again in this manner later to see whether they have held up ......

Xbox 360
Video games and gaming consoles have become a more popular form of entertainment in today?s technology based society. The Xbox created by Microsoft, and released in November 15th of 2001 was the first true step to a gaming revolution.

The name for the Xbox was originally the Direct X-box as it came from a group of Microsoft direct X developers, but later changed to Xbox after focus testing.

Fanboyism
At times, I wonder if my opinions lead me to look as if I constantly fall under the trap of being labeled as a fanboy. People naturally do not like being labeled, so I naturally have this inclination to curl up my fists and bite my tongue when that dreaded word is used to describe me. Can one have a close allegiance to a system and not really care much for the others? I had a discussion with Jim Howard last week about SSB Brawl, the wii, and Madden NFL Football. I know what you are thinking and calm down, ......

Smash anyone?
I have to say, Super Smash Brothers is definitely on the list of my favorite video game series. Not as high as an epic series such as the original Megaman series for the nes, but it is still definitely in my top ten list of all time. I remember the day I bought my n64 with the money I had from returning a broken present my brother had gotten for me. I bought the jungle green n64 that came with Super Mario 64, and a jungle green transparent controller. I also picked up a game that ......

Half Life (PS2)
Pub: Sierra/Dev: />
ESRB: M/Players: 1 2
Half Life is quite a phenomenal game, I must say. It is hitting the right FPS buttons with me that Goldeneye did, despite many differences in the twos structure and design. The difficulty curve is just about right, the level design is (mostly) tops, the enemies are unique and challenging to fight (I can see why headcrabs have become so popular), and the controls feel pretty solid. It was a little loose for my liking, but thankfully, theres the ability to tighten them, which erased that issue. The only problem ......

At one end of the field was an obvious exit. The smurf advanced along the path a bit and God appeared, cloaked in golden light. I couldnt look directly at God, not because the light was too ......

The Dreamcast's 10th Birthday Retrospective
By Matt Carey
On October 14th 1999, Sega released what would be its last home console entertainment system across Europe. The Dreamcast was nearly a year old in Japan, but September and October of 99 would see it finally shipped to the other major territories.
It was a shame for Sega. The life of the Dreamcast started positively, breaking first day and week sales, with demand far outstripping supply. Released a year before Sony and Nintendo would release their own next generation consoles, Sega hoped to get a good jump start in the next console war, especially after ......

Introduction: tactical77
Hello fellow gamers,
I grew up as a fan of console gaming. My first console was N64, which I probably enjoyed the most out of all systems. I was still in elementary school and loved to challenge my friends in many games such as Super Smash Bros. or Mario Kart 64. Now in Highschool, my game scene has channged. With the release of the Xbox 360 my gaming mentality changed. I discovered online Halo 2 and was hooked. By the time I was done I logged over 3500 online games and probably another 1000 custom games not recorded on Bungie.net ......
A Darkness is coming...
Nah, its not quite the end of the world yet; something far more important than that&
In an excitement, it was suddenly essential to at least give arguably one of the greatest first person shooters ever made some coverage. post to do with Doom, Quake or even Halo, yet it has a weighty link to Goldeneye but the Bond-infested classic itself. Nope, Im talking Perfect Dark; the 2000-unleashed Nintendo 64 />
No really, the multiplayer was like Goldeneye on speed. Bots everywhere, cruelly unbalanced weapons, utter carnage and, most significantly, with four human players, truly unlimited possibilities that re-set the tone for ......
Super Mario is dead
Or at least the only person to do a truly enjoyable job voicing him and portraying him in live-action has died. Louis Vincent Albano (AKA Captain Lou) died today at the age of 76. Albano played the role of iconic video game character Mario in the short lived 1989 television series The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
The show took a look at the daily life of the Bros. when they lived in Brooklyn. This is where Albano and actor Danny Wells played probably the most memorable and best -albeit campy as fuck- live action Mario Bros. Albano and ......

Happy European Birthday Dreamcast!
Assuming you?re reading this on October 14th 2009, today marks the 10th anniversary of the release of Sega?s Dreamcast console in Europe and the UK. As the Japanese and US anniversaries have been and gone, many words have already been written about the Dreamcast?s 10th Anniversary, it?s birthday if you will. However, what I haven?t seen anywhere is the Dreamcast?s history in the UK/European market place. Something this article hopefully puts right.

Video Games: Favorite
As a young male growing up in the late 80?s, early 90?s, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that I would be drawn to video games. Early on, I was fortunate enough where my family owned an Atari 2600 and an Intellivision. Later, my oldest brother owned a Nintendo while my second, older brother had a Sega Master System, which I played every chance I could. Finally, sometime in the early 90?s, I was able to obtain a Sega Genesis for myself. This meant that if I wasn?t outside playing with my friends, at school, or sleeping, I was ......

HACKING: MY WORLD
Hacking has many different meanings one of those is, that a hacker refers to computer hobbyists who push the limits of their software or hardware. to me hacking fits right into that definition. the things i hack fall into the category of hardware. for example, game consoles like the orignal xbox. i change the way it functioned by allowing it to play backup games on dvd and now it can play emulators, which means it can play Nintendo, n64, Sega, super Nintendo, and ...
Zombieland and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Reviewing! Yes. Because I am so totally qualified.
I saw Zombieland on opening night, going in with the expectations that I would be disappointed. I was not. Zombieland isnt really a zombie movie, but a comedy with zombies in it and copious amounts of gore. But dont get me wrongits a good comedy.
The movie was surprisingly well-written, and there are lots of little funny bits scattered throughout the whole movie. And the zombie killing, when it actually happens (theres a lot of meandering, but its entertaining meandering), is completely awesome. Woody Harrelson stole every scene he was in, I ......

One of my most favorite video games ever is GoldenEye 007 for Nintendo 64. As a matter of fact a few years ago, I bought a used N64 just for that game.

What I didnt know at the time was that Adam and Peter were hardcore 007 fans back in the ......

Games That Impacted My Life Part 2
Well& I was right in that I had to come up with another few games that impacted my life. So& here they are&
Legend of Zelda
I cant for the life of me figure out just why I forgot about this. It is for certain one of the greatest video game franchises of all time& and when we finally had our own NES, Legend of Zelda was one of the games we first bought for it (my brother picked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as the other one& so you can figure out just how our tastes in video games differ).

A Wii Bit of History
Scott Pelland, editor of Nintendo Power for twenty years and was part of Nintendos marketing, talks about how Nintendo of America included Wii Sports into the Wii package and resistance from NCL. Very interesting read. See it here.
Excerpt:
The E3 show preceding the console?s launch taught us some crucial things about Wii: we learned that people really did instantly ?get? the concept, they didn?t mind looking silly swinging the controller, and they seemed to enjoy watching others play almost as much as playing a game themselves. We also heard plenty of testimonials from people of all ages about how ......

11 Days /2 (My Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Adventures part 1)
So, like other Kingdom Hearts fans, I was very excited about the latest entry in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Save for Re: Chain of Memories (which Ive yet to complete since buying it release day) 358/2 Days is the first proper Kingdom Hearts game since early 2006s Kingdom Hearts II. For once, Im left rather disappointed with the franchise.
I'd be sad too if I this was the only game I was featured in... ...

HACKING: MY WORLD
Hacking has many different meanings one of those is, that a hacker refers to computer hobbyists who push the limits of their software or hardware. to me hacking fits right into that definition. the things i hack fall into the category of hardware. for example, game consoles like the orignal xbox. i change the way it functioned by allowing it to play backup games on dvd and now it can play emulators, which means it can play Nintendo, n64, Sega, super Nintendo, and Playstation one. one other feature the xbox can now do is change themes, so now it looks ......
Zombieland and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Reviewing! Yes. Because I am so totally qualified.
I saw Zombieland on opening night, going in with the expectations that I would be disappointed. I was not. Zombieland isnt really a zombie movie, but a comedy with zombies in it and copious amounts of gore. But dont get me wrongits a good comedy.
The movie was surprisingly well-written, and there are lots of little funny bits scattered throughout the whole movie. And the zombie killing, when it actually happens (theres a lot of meandering, but its entertaining meandering), is completely awesome. Woody Harrelson stole every scene he was in, I ......

Making cool cases from tupperware
Yes, you heard it right!
This is what you can achieve from using a 2 litre tupperware box a case system just big enough to make a portable handheld console into!
As you see, a board like the DreamCast just fits ok! (as would an N64 board, ...
What Do You Want?
I have decided to compile a list of things that I want. I mean physical objects, not world peace or anything. Think of this like a Christmas list, except Im going to end up buying all of these things myself. If you know where I can get any of these things for cheap(or free) let me know.

Generational Gaming Console's...part 2
I said video games were a big part of my life, so I am giving all of you a hearty spoonful of the who, what, when, where, why and how?s in the world of gaming consoles. Starting way back in the early 1970?s.
Let us continue?
5th Generation
With CDs now making a dominant step as the media of choice for consumers, the gaming indusrty headed in that direction also.
Atari decided to step back into the ring with the 1993 release of the Jaguar. It was built to beat out the SNES and Genesis/SegaCD in total raw power.Though ......

Virtual Console No-Shows: Third Party N64 Titles
The Wii has been out since 2006, and we have not seen a single third party Nintendo 64 title popping up on the Virtual Console. The closest weve gotten is the USA, which is not a good port of a mediocre game. third party candidates for the N64, but weve not seen a single one debut on the service in three years. Why?
If youll allow me a brief take a quick glance at Wikipedias NA Virtual Console release list, which reveals that only three consoles on the service have been dominated by their creators the NeoGeo (SNK Playmore), the Master ......

Hump Day
Today was just long. My advisory was fun we read a poem about football, but SJ wasnt there so it was a little sad. SJ was my favorite little miscreant and also the student my Dean told me was going to propose to me by the end of the year. I guess he likes me, but I also really like him. Hes seriously a miscreant I dont know what he does after school but I can guess its shady because he never sleeps and he tells me he gets in fights a lot. He was the only ......
The Embarrassment of Masculinity
I was so busy talking to myself today that I tried to go through the subway turnstyle without paying. This resulted in a loud crashing sound, my body being strung over the metal pipe like a rope with two balls on either end being thrown at a flagpole, and my dignity evaporating into the sky.
Ive never been a cool guy, is what Im trying to say.
Masculinism is all about oneupsmanship about competition. I was never good at most of the accepted games in which men are to set battle. I could never physically intimidate my male counterparts, ......
Why Review Scores Must Die
Also posted in GamesRadars TalkRadar forum: here and here.
I recently had to write an essay for school, so I decided to base it on something that Ive wanted to bring up for a while. I can haz commentz?
Scores should not be used in reviews; they dont account for individuals tastes, and you simply can not measure a games quality with a number. People also rely on the number too much, which often results in people passing up a game that would otherwise appeal to them because of unique traits or gameplay. Trying to apply an arbitrary number ......
The 15 greatest horror games of all time - 15 to 10
In honour of the month of October and Halloween bearing down upon us, we take a look at the top 20 scariest games of all time, the games that leave you cowering behind your joypad, a gibbering wreck, sitting in a puddle of your own urine, sobbing uncontrollably to make it stop, make it stop..

Adventures Into Chiptune: FLOPPY
Even though I grew up obsessed over video games (I consider the Christmas where I get an N64 one of the highlights of my life), I have a really hard time getting into chiptune music. Chiptune (for those out of the loop, its music made mostly out of video game noises) boasts plenty of great artists Adventure, Anamanaguchi but also features music so nerdy and uninspired you start feeling embarrassed for the artist.
Japan apparently has a big chiptune scene (if Zac Bentz is to be trusted) and it would be unfair to ignore ......
Trot trot to boston...
So I planned on writing this last night but a couple things prevented that from happening. First off, the Entourage season finale was incredible, so incredible that I watched it three times. Secondly, I had the chance to watch In Bruges. I had not seen it since august and jumped at the chance to watch it again in my comfortable suburban home. Anyways, friday kept me really busy. I went to my two classes then headed down to Wrigleyville where I wolfed down my usual (2 Chicago Dogs) and washed them down with a bottle of water. I then proceeded ......
Garage Gold!
When we sold our old LB house a few years ago, we packed up a lot of stuff and basically used Rick's garage as storage. This past saturday Rick and I finally went through alot of the boxes. We found some gold in that thar garage! We found boxes of old True Faith stuff. Letters from fans, original CD masters, pics, some old VHS and 8mm tapes of TF. We found this one box full of old vinyl records! No there wasn't any 12" versions of Robocop or Supersonic in there. But there were some goodies still! Some pics of ......
The Child In Me
This post will not be like any of the ones I have previously posted& I need to do it to get my excitement off my chest so I can do my homework and be focused.
You may think this is childish, that this is really stupid& but quite honestly I dont care! A little back story, if you please.
When I was nine, on some crazy whim, my mom bought me a color gameboy and a video game known as Pokemon Blue to keep me occupied during some long California trip we were doing. Let this be saidthe only other ......
Some Thoughts
I found this in my Drafts folder. I wrote it two months ago, and Im not really sure where I was going with this. But time has divorced me from this post emotionally, so while it was too trite to publish at the time it is now a window into my past. Make of it what you will&
I stubbed my toe so badly last tuesday there was legitimate concern I had broken it. It is still so swollen that wearing shoes is painful for the first twenty minutes, until the pressure forces out some of the fluid. I dont ......

Ill just write mini-reviews for all my games..and see how that goes.
Most of these..will most likely be mindless gibberish.
Game: Mini Reviews (Retail)
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (Rented)
Rented this game AGES ago, really fun arent too hard&though there is a few annoying glitchy ones. The power to level cities with nukes and such makes it a great game.
Soulcalibur IV (Bought)
Bought this when it first came out (As i was a huge fan of SC3).
Amazing game, great character customization is great too.

Misadventures in Funcoland: Sexism in Clayland
Store: Ann Arbor
Notable Gaming Release: Not really sure&
Most of my stories have dealt with new release type stuff, and while there are great stories to be told, what brought some of the most interesting folk into Funcoland were those who were looking for used games for older systems. The kind of people that would come in looking for these older games pretty much ran the gamut. There would be the collectors who were looking to complete their We had this guy that would come in, Im not sure of his real name at this point but well ......
Rhythm & Blue Foxes
About the author:
Im a married 30-odd-year-old fanboy, college student, and software QA guy, mostly recovered from an 8-year long Everquest addiction and trying to catch up on the last decade of videogames as a result.
Im working towards a BA in Japanese and hope to be done by 2011.
This blog contains an awful lot of posts about games as I finish them, occasional rants about keeping in shape, the odd bit of bitching about the antics of the instructors and students I cross paths with, and every once in a while a post or two related to ......
Couch Potato Setup
Ive always liked computers, but Ive never been a huge fan of overwrought TV media setups. You end up having 10 components with 15 remotes and 20,000 buttons, most of which have redundant or never-used functionality. The setup takes up a great deal of space and sucks up a bunch of energy through 10,000 different cables and wires. ...
