The Elements of Gadgets and Gaming
When it comes to video games, nobody can match Nintendo’s level of innovation. While Sony and Microsoft have always boasted the superior hardware, their systems and games have always followed convention and rarely stray outside the lines. Big N revolutionized the gaming industry as we know it in the post crash era; inventing the platformer…
I really wanted to do Ghetto Golf for this one but no trailer has been released for it yet. Of course, there is no shortage of other bad games to cover.Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust (Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PC)There are some things games should not include and sex is one of them. Oh…
Sometimes in my blind web surfing, you come across things that are so bizarre, you cannot help but laugh. No, I’m not talking about that video of the guy with the bottle that’s making the rounds. This one has to do with iTunes, the software itself not the store. Sometimes it pays to read the…
Early entry this week because I found something that’s NOT shovelware and actually looks like a pretty sweet game. Don’t worry though, they’ll be plenty more bad shovelware coming. I’ve got Ghetto Golf lined up for next week. Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier (Nintendo DS)This is… the most awesome thing I have ever…
WarioWare Myself (Nintendo DS)I think I just Wii-ed myself watching this one. This one was actually developed by Nintendo as a Wiiware title. The Warioware games, staring the beloved anti-Mario, have been quite popular on several Nintendo platforms. Basically, they’re just a collection of minigames. I think they’re really starting to run out of ideas…
The saga of Xbox 360 hardware failures never seems to end. Those buying Jasper models thought they were out of the woods in regards to system crippling hardware errors got an unwelcome surprise. Last month, it was discovered that Xbox 360s purchased in the last year or so seemed to be suffering an unusually high…
Squeeballs (Wii, Xbox 360, PS3)They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Even better if you can take a popular game and throw in plenty of bloody animal abuse into it. That pretty much sums up Squeeballs, a combination of Wii Sports and Mario Party. Count ’em, 100 minigames where all you do is…
Sometimes you just look at a game and wonder, “oh please god, I hope they never make a sequel”. Obviously, I’m not in the lord’s good books since Ubisoft is making another Assassin’s Creed. Yes, you probably already knew that but today the first teaser trailer is released, shedding light on the second game. Looks…
Right, so another free episode of Qore, and this one might actually be worse than the December issue I looked at in the past. I think this pretty much confirms that Qore isn’t selling. We’ve seen two free episodes released in the last three months. Obviously the first one wasn’t enough to encourage people to…
I’m really tired of all the shovelware that’s appearing on pretty much every single system these days. You know what kind of games these are. The ones that are bargain basement cheap, short, of low quality, nonsensical, and leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. So, I thought I’d start a semi-regular feature…
