Scott Pilgrim vs This Game Review: FIGHT!

So Scott Pilgrim is both an awesome graphic novel and a kickass movie. But wait, there’s more! Scott Pilgrim also has a game for the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade called Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game. I bought it, played it, and beat it. So is it any good? It’s Scott Pilgrim vs Chris Pranger, today, on Toy-TMA!  Read More →

My Pokemon Team Over The Years

I’ve been thinking about Pokemon a lot lately. Part of this is because of the nice commenters on the Best Of and Worst Of Pokemon lists I posted a while ago. People were mad about which ten I liked best, and equally mad about the ten I liked least. So I figured I’d finally come out and show what my teams were over the many years I’ve been playing. This includes only the Game Boy and DS games since the games on the GameCube were, well, meh. These... 

10 Pokemon You’d Rather Not Evolve

The whole point of a Pokemon game is to catch, train, battle, and evolve Pokemon, right? Naturally. Most of the time you learn your Pokemon is evolving and think, “Right on! This will be SWEET!” But every so often you have to sit down and make the tough choice: “Do I REALLY want to evolve this one?” I looked through all 493 entries of the Pokedex and came to these startling inclusions in the list of 10 Pokemon You’d Rather Not Evolve. And... 

Forget-Me-Nots: Tie Fighter

Computers were nothing more than an advanced video game system when I was a young boy. My brother had his sports games (“NBA Jam” mostly) and I had “Star Wars: Tie Fighter.” Doesn't that just make you want to start playing right now? Released in 1994, “Tie Fighter” was the sequel to “Star Wars: X-Wing” and was the first Star Wars game that put you in the role of the Galactic Empire. They may have been bad, but the game was nothing... 

How To Game Correctly

We live in a very sophisticated day and age (note that age never precedes day) in which gaming has been taken to a whole new level, no pun intended . Okay, maybe pun intended just a little. As I sit here in my shorts without a shirt, listening to the yappy dog right outside my window sure to get a good stomping in about five minutes, I feel it is time to reflect on the culture that defines so many of us. But how does one “game” “correctly?”... 

Why Are You Reading This? StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty Review

Here we go, yet another totally pointless review for a game you already know enough about. Blizzard’s super long-awaited sequel to StarCraft is now finally out for the PC and after waiting this long to get it, you either already have it or you don’t care whatsoever that it’s now out. This means my review is more or less just there. So you ready for this? Let the Zerg Rush begin. I don't even know who this guy is, but I know he looks cool.  Read More →

“GoldenEye 007” for the Wii: milking our childhoods, or improving game history?

Game nerds my age all remember the game “GoldenEye 007” with fond memories. For me personally, “GoldenEye” was the reason I bought a Nintendo 64, and that was how I became a gamer at all (my early days of button-mashing on the NES don’t really count). Snazzy, but will people really get what this is?  Read More →

The Monkey Comes Back: A Preview of Donkey Kong Country Returns

Yes sir, times are good for gamers. This year’s E3 was full of a lot of win, assuming you were a Nintendo fanboy such as myself. While some announcements were completely out of left field, others were pretty expected. Donkey Kong Country Returns was somewhere in the middle, having been leaked as a thing currently in development by Retro Studios not long before E3. Leakage aside, what really matters is, we get a new Donkey Kong Country game! What...
