As a follow-up to my Games That Actually NEED A Sequel and further inspired by this post at Siliconera, I wanted to discuss a few classic game franchises, that while they did have at least one sequel, they haven’t surfaced in quite a while. And even though there are a small handful of older franchises […]

Inpsired by a post on Detructoid today, I wanted to share what I believe is the greatest arcade cabinet of all time: X-Men 6-Player, Dual Screen Edition This puppy really had to be experienced in a busy arcade to really be appreciated. I first fell in love with this X-Men arcade machine at a large […]
One of the few games that makes me wish I have a Sony PSP is a little puzzler named Lumines. Not since the original Gameboy Tetris was there so much buzz over a puzzle game. Up until now, GBA fans have been in the dust when looking for a new puzzler. But there is a […]

The Nintendo Revoltion controller has already created a great deal of discussion about the new door of gameplay that the system will open — much like the Nintendo DS did for portable gaming.

Brian Crecente, the main editor at the gaming mega-blog, Kotaku, recently completed the game room of his dreams. He does a great job of keeping the style simple but maximizing the functionality.

I think one of the best things about retro gaming is how fun it is to amass a great collection of old games. Not only is it wonderful to be able to play all sorts of games whenever you feel like it, but there is also something therapeutic about looking at all the boxes and […]
Radiligy is one of the two new Naomi-to-Dreamcast shooter ports to come out in 2006 and it will offer shmup fans a slightly different shooting experience for their Dreamcast.
