I’ve been gaming my whole life, in one way or another. Some of my earliest memories are video game related. Space Invaders and the original Mario Bros. arcade machines at a local laundromat, circa 1989; going to Chuck-E-Cheese and playing Roadblasters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons, or Pole Position arcade cabs; or even just […]
The PC game distribution service Steam announced today they are finally offering a refund policy, something many gamers have been asking for for years from this leader in digital distribution. No longer will users be stuck with a game they don’t like in their library! The original post on the Steam website can be found […]
Old is new again. That’s always the case, though, isn’t it? It seems like during the past few decades, there has been a constant resurgence in people desiring to re-create the experience of decades long gone, especially popular right now are the 80’s and 90’s. Nostalgia is a strong feeling, but there are also those […]
About 2 months ago, I finally decided to take the plunge and buy an Xbox 360. It’s amazing that after nearly 9 years of the console being available I only just recently purchased one, but I tend to go for cost effectiveness over need to be current. In addition, I have focused heavily over the […]
The average price of a new video game on the shelves of any given American store can vary between $40 to $70. The average non-gamer sees this as excessive, and even many who would consider themselves gamers find these prices to often be too high for the quality of the product in question. Of course, […]
Occasionally in my quest for software for my Wii, I will hit GameStop to see what might be lying around cheap. The Wii is a system at the end of its life, and while it was a popular game console, it seems that only a small selection of titles ever show available in the second […]
Last year, the Xbox One and the Playstation 4 were released to the North American market, pushing all 3 major game console manufacturers into the 8th Generation of gaming, following the release of the Nintendo WiiU in 2012. Like every generation of consoles before them, these consoles represent a new stage in console gaming hardware, […]
After years of production, the Angry Video Game Nerd Movie was released online on September 2nd, 2014. As a fan of the work of James Rolfe, I was anticipating this film ever since it’s announcement back in 2011. Of course, everyone knew the film would be about the Atari 2600 game “E.T”, from the fact […]
What has been showing up in my news feed as a rumor has come true today. Microsoft, the company behind the Windows Operating System, the Xbox game console series, and many other well known products, has purchased Mojang, the company behind the worlwide hit game Minecraft, for 2 and a half billion dollars. Yes. $2,500,000,000 […]
http://youtu.be/vivUoRWOu6E Here is the GameChat for August 24th, 2014. This was a pretty good GameChat, in my opinion. I don’t know what happened at about 12 minutes in, so a warning for EXTREMELY loud sound at that point. Past that though, I think the topics discussed and the ideas expressed were valid, and interesting enough. […]
http://youtu.be/ggJrlonMcg0 The August 6th, 2014 Xadara Gamechat episode. Prince Watercress and I find this to have been one of our best episodes ever. Something about the energy and the general flow we had was just great to us. This was the first time I tried to edit music into to the program, with us also […]
After 7 years of the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360 being the dominant players in the home console gaming market, the time has finally come for Sony and Microsoft to begin telling the world more about the successors to the current generation of gaming consoles. The first bit of information coming out though doesn’t […]
