My PAL SNES looks exactly like the Japanese Super Famicom, except that the words printed on either console. In any case, have you ever wondered the total number of games released on the Super Famicom? A quick lookabout the interwebs put about the count to be around 750-800. That’s way off the mark since the [...]

Dear McDonalds, am I supposed to feel as confident as a Quarter Pounder with Cheese (QPC)? No, if I were a QPC, I would be having a nervous breakdown over the fear of being eaten shortly after being taken out from the kitchen to the counter. Not to mention that I would also feel fat [...]

I can’t help but notice that the Killzone 2 insignia on the Killzone 2/PS3 bundle (here) looked really similar to that of the infamous Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) logo.

This is exactly what they have done with their new [...]

Sometimes I wonder whether the Wii is actually a souped-up Gamecube with extensive plastic surgery  and a whole bunch of new features to make it look next-gen during its debut (the controller, I must admit, is an inspired choice, one doesn’t need fancy graphics to be next-gen). The reason why I’m saying this is that [...]

Visits to the arcade were pretty rare during my childhood. But whenever I got the chance to do so, I made it a point to watch other people play, especially those that were fighting games and shmups. It’s quite an enjoyable experience, and even as recent as 2 years ago, I spent more than half [...]

If you are wondering why does the cover for the Japanese version of Mario & Luigi RPG 3!! looks so understated, you’ll have to look back at the covers of the first two games in this trilogy.
