A 3DS Revision Already? [What About Current Owners, Guys?]

Despite claims to the contrary, there’s been some speculation lately that the 3DS may be in line for a hardware revision. Think “3DS Lite” or “3DS XL.” Given that the system only launched a scant six months ago, this would come as a big surprise. The thing is, the system has pretty much bombed. If Nintendo …

Where I’m at With RIFT; Cataclysm Coming to a Close; My PSP is Useful Again?!

Talk about radio silence! Sorry about that, guys. It’s been a busy week and time has been sucked away from me at every turn. Thankfully, it’s been mostly gaming doing that, since the schools were closed for mid-winter break in New York. I’ve used that vacation as it was intended, to relax and veg out …

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 …

I’ve been pretty busy managing games, work, and hardware upgrades this past week, so I’ve been a little behind on the news. Sorry for the lack of Monday update, but there’s a few big things I’d like to touch on, so let’s get started. Cataclysm Cutbacks Path of the Titans represented one of the most …

Nintendo Wii – hated by some, loved by others (and me)

Hey you, stop hating on Wii! (if you do, otherwise carry on) I know to most of the die hard elitist gamers the Wii is technologically speaking “garbage” – the graphics cannot compete with the 360 or PS3 (Obviously, it runs at 480p with the component cables sold seperately) – yet it is the number …
