Too Much Awesome

There’s a very high chance that my childhood is dead. And not just from age, as I firmly believe that anyone can retain their childlike sense of wonder and attitude for an infinite stretch of time. No, I have a sneaking suspicion that my childhood died a violent death at the hands of a cruel [...]

If anything unites gamers, it’s most certainly fanservice dished out in droves. Knowing this secret to instant success, Square-Enix brought the PSP a little title called Final Fantasy Dissidia, a strange fighter/RPG hybrid that consisted of characters from every numbered Final Fantasy title. Seeing as how it sold like Phoenix Down, Squeenix is back with [...]

The other day I gave a little rundown of the three main options for game rentals. I suppose I should have included “Borrow from friends,” but that’s a given. Today, however, I’m giving you a list of games that work better as rentals. Ready? Here we go!

I’ll begin with the usual disclaimer I give at the heading of any of my M-rated game reviews: brentalfloss is, in no way, for kids.

There is no [...]

Thanksgiving is a time of year when families get together and eat copious amounts of food, then struggle to breathe as they fall into a deep stupor on the couch. What better time than this to play video games? But don’t overdo it with something overly stimulating like Ninja Gaiden or Call of Duty. Nah, [...]

Time for more Games You Should Have Played. I’m about to hit you with a game that will take you a very, very long time to finish on your first playthrough (assuming you don’t just stick to the storyline), but is also one of the best examples of a great story and excellent characterization in [...]
