Eek. It looks as if the migration didn’t go ALL smoothly, as only the first part of EVERY post over one page was brought over. Oops. I need to go through every single old post and add the rest of the content from Blogger, tweaking the layout for EACH post as I go. Yikes. Well, no use griping about it… off to get some sleep now before jumping back on here and fixing what’s broken.

New Home (Work In Progress)…
I hate moving, but here we are. WordPress seems easy to use so far, but that’s not too surprising considering I’ve contributed to a few blogs that use it. It’ll take a while for me to choose a template that works best for me (I can’t afford to buy into a custom setup just yet) AND manually edit over 1100 posts (eek!) while also adding new content, so please forgive how the blog looks for the next few weeks. Ah, adjustment…
Psychonauts Arrives On The Mac (Finally!) And Double Fine Rolls With It
Hey, Tim! Next time, send these releases out to everyone! Or actually, maybe I need to update my contact info with Double Fine, huh? Anyway, I missed this Psychonauts press release, but thanks to a few “Did you see this?” emails pointing to Bitmob, you can check out the pretty funny press release about the Mac version of Double Fine’s rather awesome and funny (and classic) platformer. Yes, the PC version over Steam has gotten some cool enhancements as well.
I actually haven’t played the PC version (it’s on my to-do list, really!), but I do have both console versions here (the Xbox version is the better of the two). I’d gather the chances of seeing the game get an HD upgrade for PS3 and Xbox 360 are slim to none, but hey – if I had a few million bucks laying around, I’d wave some of it under the noses of a few games companies to tempt them into committing to doing at least ONE run of discs and selling them directly to gamers rather than going through the retail chain hell…
Dark Souls “All Saints’ Day” Trailer + Serious Statues To Do Battle For
With its October 4 US release date right around the corner, here’s a last at the latest Dark Souls trailer plus some awesome one of a kind statues created by one of the game’s biggest fans, sculptor Peter Nordstrom. These five absolutely beautiful artworks are actually being given away over on the Dark Souls community page, so there will be a few lucky gamers who are going to walk away with some incredible showpieces you won’t find anywhere else. If you want to give it a shot, it;’s actually not too late. Just head on over to the PREPARE TO DIE Forums and have at their interesting puzzle contest. Good Luck! Continue reading
The House of the Dead Overkill EC Gets Eye-Popping (and Retro) 3D Modes

Nice. Now Sega can add “Retro-ier” to that “Longer, Harder, Gorier!” tagline for its upcoming M-rated arcade shooter. The company is really going all out with this super-enhanced HD remix of the Wii sleeper hit. In addition to PS Move … Continue reading
Sony Teases Gamers With A Little Mystery Project…
Hmmmm… My head is too full of other stuff to even venture a guess, so it looks as if I’ll be holding out until October 5 to get the answer. Of course, it’ll probably leak before then, but that’s how it goes. It’s probably something Home-related, but I’m just throwing out the first thing off the top of my head. Which means I’m probably wrong. Still, it WOULD be nice if we all found out The Agenct was being revived from the dead, right?
Rayman Origins "Around The World" Trailer
Awesome and funny new trailer from the upcoming retro-flavored (but decidedly modern) platformer set to hit PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii soon enough. Poke around on the official site for more on this fresh take on classic gameplay. If this game doesn’t make you smile, you’re a hopeless dope who needs an anvil dropped gently on your head. Or some rat named Ignatz aiming a brick at you from throwing distance (POW!!!). Tough love always wins over the hard-headed, I say…
Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection Launch Trailer
Yes, it’s here. And Yes, it’s a absolute must buy at a measly $39.99. Hell, if you happen to know someone with a 3DTV and no PS3, do them a favor and lug yours over to their house with a copy of this game and they’ll probably BUY their own PS3 afterward. Seriously, it’s THAT good.
Review: Resistance 3
Platform: PlayStation 3
Developer: Insomniac Games
Publisher: SCEA
# of Players: 1 – 2 (Online: 1 – 16)
ESRB Rating: M (Mature)
Official Site
Score: A-
It’s absolutely been the best year to be a PS3 owner and Resistance 3 continues Sony’s streak of solid first-party titles with an exhilarating, action-packed shooter that’s an absolute must-buy. Packing in a lengthy single-player campaign (with solid offline or online co-op), satisfying multiplayer and a ridiculous amount of over the top battles, this is one of those games FPS fans will get a ton of mileage out of. Key to the gameplay experience are the incredibly fluid controls whether you’re using a Dual Shock 3, PS Move/Navigation controller combo or Sharpshooter peripheral and yes, the game looks fantastic. There area few quirks here and there with the AI on the easier settings and if you want to get the most out of the co-op and multiplayer, the game requires some mandatory patching that fixes a few release bugs. Nevertheless, once that’s taken care of, you’re in for quite a wild ride. Continue reading

Even if you’re not into gaming, it’s hard not to look at a Vanillaware game and see the love and care that goes into them. While the company has only a handful of titles under their belts, each has been … Continue reading
