The Pikmin games have always been Nintendo’s very curious take on real time strategy. The player controls a character who has at their command an army of these little Pikmin creatures of various colors. The goal is simply to make use of the colored Pikmin’s special abilities to search an alien planet for food and… Read More »
Goichi Suda, known to many as Suda 51, has quickly become one of my favorite developers. The games he produces are filled with absolutely insane ideas, tons of referential humor and some really unique gameplay. The latest creation from this insane mind, Killer is Dead, has grabbed my attention even without knowing what to expect… Read More »
I’ve talked in the past about how I’m tentatively excited for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. While Assassin’s Creed III was, personally, very unimpressive I still hold out hope that the next installment will knock it out of the park. From what Ubisoft showed us this week, I’m beginning to feel somewhat more confident in… Read More »
I spent almost all of last week talking about video games. I talked about games on podcasts, via IM conversations, on Xbox Live, and I even forced my husband to listen to my diatribes about video games.

One of my favorite series released this generation was inFAMOUS. I cannot tell you how many times I played the demo for the original game when it was released shortly before the full game came out. I even decided to do a rare, “Midnight Launch” for it, just on a whim. The sequel was fantastic,… Read More »
While watching the Microsoft E3 press conference on Monday, June 10th I was surprised that there were no Kinect games announced. This was different from just a year ago. In 2012, the message was all about how to get the family involved in using the Kinect. This year it was so different. It was all… Read More »
I was set to do an article on a completely different topic this week when something utterly frustrating happened. I have recently rediscovered my love of PC gaming with Steam and Humble Bundles in the role of enablers with their ridiculously cheap sale prices. This week began innocently enough. I bought a few games and… Read More »
Rayman Legends has had my eye for quite some time now. From everything that we’ve seen of the game, Ubisoft is following up Rayman Origins with a game with the same sort of whimsy and joy. Since the re-launch of the Rayman series, Ubisoft has done a fantastic job of promoting the series and turned… Read More »
