Too Much Awesome

“The reason why Jump’s awesome all-star fighter games can never come over to the US is all due to copyright laws, or specifically, international copyright laws. While Jump owns the rights to all these series in Japan, they don’t all share a US publisher.” _Chris Pranger Chris makes a very good point here that I [...]

Chris Pranger’s recent article on Fanboyism brought up some very valid points. If a game is exclusive to one particular console, regardless of how good or bad it is, your opinion of that game is bound to be drastically swayed in one direction if you have already sworn your allegiance with or against said console.

Why haven’t I Thought Deep for a while? I’m not really sure. I might as well fix that by diving into a topic I’ve mentioned before: Fanboyism (or Fangirlism, but it’s easier to write “fanboy,” so just replace the gender pronouns to enjoy the article more if that’d otherwise be a deal-breaker).

Long ago in a console war far far away, the dynasties of Nintendo and Sega were at a stale mate. Leading SNES was legendary jump man Super Mario, while the flag of Genesis was single handedly kept up by the demon of speed Sonic the Hedgehog. In their never ending battle for dominance, they monopolized [...]

Usually I’m pretty on the ball about getting reviews of games out when the game is still extremely fresh. God of War III is a huge title for the PS3 and has been out now for half a month or more, but no review from me yet. That’s because I wanted to actually play this [...]
