On this slow New Year’s Eve, we only received one press release. From PETA. The group wanted to spread the word about their named game for the most animal-friendly title of the year. It’s The Sims 3. I’m just going to let this speak for itself: In the latest version of the...

Take PlayStation RPG epic Final Fantasy VII, knock it down to 8-bits, translate it to Chinese, and then throw it on a cartridge, and you’ll have something like this somewhat collectible piece of crap. It’s got Advent Children branding, though it has nothing to do with the movie....

Steam’s holiday deals haven’t become any less awesome over these last few days, and quite frankly, it’s exhausting. I don’t know how much more of my new life of blogging exclusively about videogame sales I can take. This is what happens when everyone in the industry...

WiiWaa. More like Wii Whaaaaat? WiiWTF is closer to my reaction after seeing this commercial. WiiWaa is a Wii game that uses a strange plush creature as a controller. We saw a version of this product before, but I guess the video was pulled. Too kinky? I think the issue was that you originally...

I bet you never thought of the big beasties of Shadow of the Colossus as cute. Probably not sexy? Definitely not horny and…perky. Moe? Surely not. These transformed versions from this doujinshi are all the above. All the beasts have been moe-fied by artist Shigatake, who has released...

Yesterday there was a fine Castle Crashers sale and now Battlefield 1943 has dropped down in price as well. When these Xbox 360 daily holiday deals first started, I was really skeptical based on the downright silly and often obscure things getting slashed in price. But like Castle Crashers,...

Alright, I’ll be straight with you guys. I’m the only one working today. Everyone else is doing New Year’s Eve things. Or having babies or whatever. It’s just me. And going on halfway into the day now, I figure I’m boring you with geeky game news. So I called...

I played Square’s first Front Mission title way back in the day on the Super Nintendo. I enjoyed the strategy RPG, and I was pissed off that they didn’t localize it for the US after playing it. Looking back over the years, the series got the shaft. In 2005, the fifth game in the...
