The latest offering from Nintendo’s Mario Kart franchise was launched today, and thanks to the nearest Wal-Mart being open 24 hours a day, that meant midnight. Kelly and I were there, brought the game home… and before we knew it, it was already 3 AM. There are good things and bad things about this game. Read on… »»More

Before I get into my review, I must tell you I’ve never been a big fan of fighting games. The only reason I ever played “Super Street Fighter II” or even “Mortal Kombat” was because one of my best friends at the time had both games, we always hung out at his house, and it was all he ever wanted to play. I just played for lack of choice, but never really got into it enough to learn all the combos, special moves and such.
Even now, I don’t know all the special moves — nor do I plan on taking the time to learn them all — but the chance to play as Mario, Link, Zelda, Samus Aran and dozens of other popular characters from every major Nintendo series greatly outweighs any opinion or dislike I’ve had for any other fighting games in the past. »»More
I promised earlier to post reviews on the video games I got for Christmas. Why has it taken me until February to review Super Mario Galaxy? Because I’ve been so busy playing it, I didn’t feel like stopping to write about it! The only bad thing about this game, is that I can’t even imagine how Nintendo could possibly top it. »»More
I wasn’t expecting it, but I received “SimCity Societies” for Christmas. And first off, I need to correct an earlier article about the game — it IS compatible with Windows Vista.
With that business out of the way, onto my review. I haven’t played very much yet, so I’m not really sure whether I like it or not… but I have some first impressions. »»More
Here comes the first in a short series of reviews on new games we got for Christmas. I’ll get right to the point: this one sucks. (I paid for it, so I can bash it.) Thankfully, I wasn’t “looking” for it — Kelly loves the M&M characters, and I found it by chance while looking for other gift ideas. So, at least it wasn’t like either of us were anxiously anticipating its arrival on Christmas. Click “more” to see the rest of the review I submitted to outpost.com. »»More
Look at that photo and count up the strikes:
…and that competitor with a 72 is a future ESPN anchor! »»More
Plenty of rants lately… and it’s almost Christmas, so I guess it’s time for something positive. If you haven’t upgraded your Winamp to the latest version yet, go do it. There are 2 features in particular which I think are pretty cool. Today I’ll tell you why I like them — but there are some slight glitches to watch out for. »»More
Update: New Wii Bowling Personal Best (12/27/07)
Anyone out there have a Nintendo Wii? I haven’t played WiiSports bowling in probably a month or more… yesterday, I picked it up and got a 257. My best score ever, thanks to six strikes in a row, and another two later in the game. (My previous best was 215.) What’s your best score? Anyone out there ever get a 300?

Just sitting around late Saturday night, I hear a familiar sound from Kelly’s computer — the beginning of a game of “You Don’t Know Jack.” A sound I haven’t heard in years! These games were awesome back when I was in college… so why haven’t we heard much about them in such a long time? Well, after playing a few rounds, we discovered they have a brand new website… »»More
If you have a Nintendo Wii, the title probably says it all. What the hell is the deal with the Virtual Console feature? Or maybe to be more accurate, I should say the Wii Shop Channel. For probably a couple months now, I’ve been hoping they’d release the classic alien shooter game, “Contra.” They have the sequels, “Super C” and “Contra III” so where the hell is the original? And it’s not just Contra that’s taking forever. »»More
