Gamepro Slip-Up – 3DS to Cost $300?

Sometimes I love how delightfully oblivious my local grocery store is to magazine dates. They put out this month’s Gamepro a little bit early (I took this about four days ago — forgot to post it) and there’s a yet unannouced detail included in one of the articles. Have a look: There’s two possibilities. The …

Paul Barnett Re-Emerges

This holiday has been great on a number of levels. One of the better points – by virtue of having to exercise more… darn cookies – is that I’ve gotten to catch up on some of my favorite podcasts. Imagine my surprise when the I got to spend an audio hour with the illusive disappearing …

Super Mario Bros. 3: Redone With Modern Graphics

Now this is pretty cool. Someone went and redid the entire Super Mario Bros. 3 game — the best Mario, in my opinion — with modern day graphics. Modern for the DS, that is, but it’s still pretty cool. It’s all based on the Nintendo DS New Super Mario Bros. engine, so there are some …

PS3 Glitches, Lag Drag Down Black Ops Experience

I picked up Call of Duty: Black Ops on launch day within an hour of when the store opened. I’ve taken two half-days since then to devote to getting leveling up and learning each map. I even invited a friend over this afternoon to spend a good few hours with it. Let me be clear …

[Quotes] Are Video Games Harmful?: A Book in My School’s Library

I got called in to sub this morning and, by an unfortunate miscommunication, I wound up with a good hour to spend in the school library. Now, I grew up in a library (my grandmother was a librarian) and I absolutely LOVE them. I can spend hours just perusing through and checking out whatever happens …

Happy Pre-Black Ops, Folks! Don’t let that mislead you. We don’t talk about Black Ops on this show; I’m just excited. There was a lot of great news this past week, MMO and gaming in general, so we thought we’d take a show and break it all down for you. There’s lots of great MMO …

Black Ops: My Second Midnight Launch Ever? Help Me Decide!

Tonight should be interesting; I’m still not sure what I’m going to do. For the non-initiated among us, Call of Duty’s next iteration Black Ops releases at the stroke of midnight in Gamestop’s across the country. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this game for at least three months and now that it’s here I’m really considering …

Nostalgia and the Super Nintendo

With FFXIV launching tomorrow, I haven’t had much desire to play other MMOs. I’ve spent a little time working on Book 7 in LotRO but knowing that I’ll soon be have a new “main game” somehow makes the experience feel empty. With the blogosphere raging over the great nostalgia debate of 2010 (also known as …

Why Buy Used? Just Pirate…

After all, the two are the exact same thing, right? I mean, where were YOU when the rest of us were delivering our support right to the developer’s cubicles? Way to be ungrateful. Let me just say it, Gamestop is just a games pimp with a shiny storefront. Amsterdam meets America, I say. Hat-tip Syp. …

Blizzard Should Be Held Accountable For Damaging Player’s Computers

Short and sweet, but I had to chime in on this one. It seems that Starcraft 2 was released with a devastating bug in the menu system that’s causing some player’s video cards to overheat. Blizzard has acknowledged that the problem is related in menu systems not including any kind of FPS cap, causing some …
