Ticket games are Trouble

Read 'Ticket games are Trouble'

I hate ticket games. They are annoying, loud and they break all the time.

Well, that was faster than expected.

Read 'Well, that was faster than expected.'

Last night I predicted that the wait for my LucasArts Adventure Collection would be a lengthy one. Boy, did they prove me wrong. Ahh, harking back to the days where all software was distributed via Ziplock™ baggies. Hooray! Drat, it...

Unlimited Tokens

Read 'Unlimited Tokens'

One of the best things about working at an arcade was the (basically) unlimited tokens. Whether I got them by repairing machines (if it didn't hit the coin box it was free game - literally), trading in free token passes...

The Longest Journey Musings

Read 'The Longest Journey Musings'

Going against attercob's advice (if you haven't read that article yet, I highly suggest it - if for nothing else but for his description of Syberia's main character), I purchased The Longest Journey last week. See, I had a hankering...

Arcade memories

Shitty jobs are great watermarks for future careers. How else would I have known how good I had it at my first real job if I didn't spend part of my high-school and early college years working for crap wages!

The New Gamer 2004 Gaming Retrospective

Read 'The New Gamer 2004 Gaming Retrospective'

Unlike some publications out there, we can show some restraint and print our annual retrospective after the year in question has actually ended. Like last year's look back, we examine a wide range of gaming experiences that affected us over the past 52 weeks, while keeping one eye on the future!

Do game designers burn out like rockstars?

Read 'Do game designers burn out like rockstars?'

This is the exact question posed by Keith Stuart of The Guardian Gameblog, citing Fable (curiously, considering he is pretty adament that Fable had little to do with Molyneux), Doom 3 (odd that the same man that argues that Molyneux...

BASS

The ground level music in Beneath a Steel Sky reminds me of the Robocop theme song....

RAD

Read 'RAD'

Well. Despite finally receiving Resident Evil 4 I'm still rather bored gamewise. This typically happens every six months or so, where nothing I have really catches my interest. I was hoping that RE4 would grab me, but alas I just...

Terrible Mr. G

Read 'Terrible Mr. G'

This is pretty old so some of you may have already heard it, but I just came across it again so I have to share. So I'm sure you've yelled at the screen before when playing a game like Counter-Strike...

Resident Evil 4 is hard.

Read 'Resident Evil 4 is hard.'

Like the title says, it's hard. It's especially hard for a fellow like me who isn't 1) too fond of the Resident Evil franchise to begin with and 2) someone who isn't too keen on mixing strategy with action. When...

Come on, you know that's accurate. Think about it....

Viewtiful Joe 2 (GC)

Read 'Viewtiful Joe 2 (GC)'

Procrastination-a-go-go, baby! I submitted a draft of this review to peccaui probably somewhere around six weeks ago and through our combined efforts of laziness it's just coming to you now. It's like being in a timewarp! I'm gonna send you all the way back to November 2004, though you might wish I hadn't!

Pipeline

Read 'Pipeline'

I just went to go check my mailbox to see if Resident Evil 4 had arrived yet from Gamefly (sigh ... when will they get a Midwest distribution hub?) when I realized 'duh, it's a holiday.' Why didn't I just...
