Review: Mega Man 10 (PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, WiiWare)

By Jon Mercer on March 10, 2010

MM10-01

The Charge:

Dual FX Engines!! Parallel Hyperbit Interface!!

Opening Statement:

My lifelong affair with Capcom’s stalwart ‘Mega Man’ franchise is by no means a well kept secret. I’d go as far as to say it occupies the throne that is my favourite gaming franchise. Since the heady times of its heyday, there have been close to 120 titles released that bear the ‘Mega Man’ moniker, more than both the Street Fighter and Resident Evil franchises combined; and during my career in gaming, I’ve owned close to 40 of them personally. That can mean only one thing, I’m totally the perfect candidate to review “Mega Man 10”, Capcom’s latest return to the series that built the foundations of their house.

GTI Club Supermini Festa!, the all-new high-speed racing title, is now available via download on PSP and PSPgo. A descendent of the popular arcade game, GTI Club Supermini Festa! is a fast-paced racing game that hurdles players across global terrains in mini-customizable cars. Gamers must speed through tight bends, the back roads of urban sprawls, up steep mountain roads, down cavernous caves, and tackle a wide variety of driving conditions as they race to the finish line for the checkered flag.

Rock of the Dead = best idea EVER

By Adam Arseneau on February 11, 2010

Oh sweet Zombie Jesus. Rock of the Dead, a new game being developed by Epicenter looks like a glorious mash-up between Typing of the Dead, the beloved Dreamcast typing/zombie shooter and Rock Band. Throw Neil Patrick Harris into the mix and it’s a perfect game already. No, I don’t even need to play it. In my head, right now, it is perfect. *sniff*

IGN has the scoop on this one. More after the jump.

The Charge:
The Versus series returns in an all-new brawl!

Opening Statement:
Never let it be said that gaming dreams don’t come true. Despite riding high on a wave of pure hype, I would have never guessed that Tatsunoku vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, the legendary developer’s return to their arcade smash-hit Versus franchise would ever see the light of day on western shores.

Review: New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii…duh)

By Jon Mercer on November 19, 2009

Mario01

Opening Statement:
Like any gamer worth his salt (or born before the rise of New Kids on the Block, take your pick), I have a bit of a history with Super Mario. Having cut my gaming teeth on the plumber’s first three adventures, and his 16-bit debut being the first game I ever cracked wide open, dedicating myself to discovering its every secret.

Review: Muramasa – The Demon Blade (Wii)

By Jon Mercer on September 16, 2009

Lyrics, fill in the gap -- Drop that bass and get the Ninja Rap!

The Charge:
Slice like a ninja – Cut like a razor blade!

Opening Statement:
Okay, every red-blooded kid who lived and breathed during the 1980s knows that ninjas are concentrated awesome. And I don`t mean that watered down, sugar-rush Naruto crap. I`m talking straight up, sword swingin’, star flingin’ shinobi bad-ass. Hell, even Michael Dudikoff had a cup of coffee with fame and fortune because he made a few movies concerning ninjas, and he was a total douche (my apologies to any hardcore Dudikoffers out there). I’ll usually try any video game that features Ninjas in a prominent role (usually to my regret), which led me to this day’s review. Continue reading Review: Muramasa – The Demon Blade (Wii)
