Ragnarok Online DS: Holy Hell, How Did I Miss This?

Rangarok Online is the only MMORPG I gained any affection for, and admittedly, that’s not much. But I still feel a certain pull towards the universe and in fact I recently started up another character for article-writing purposes. He’s an archer named Fuzzy Stone. He sucks. Archers suck.
Now it seems I have the option to […]

I Can’t Shut Up About Final Fantasy IV DS: Translation Controversy

I warned you I wouldn’t stop jabbering once I got my hands on this game. Say goodbye to Handheld Age and witness the birth of Final Fantasy IV DS Age!
All right, I’m not that crazy. But just you wait.
As of my last bit of adventuring, I iced the Dark Dragon and turned Edward the sissy-boy […]

Double Dragon Twins Will Save the World

AMAZING FACT: My first experience with Double Dragon was actually the Game Boy version.
AMAZINGER FACT: The Game Boy version of Double Dragon was actually superior to the NES adaptation.

A New Chrono Trigger? Is It Time to Jump Up and Down?

Earlier this fine day, Silicon Era made note of Square-Enix’s move to copyright “Chrono Trigger: Echoes of Time.”

Hey Kids, It’s Time for Final Fantasy IV DS!

That means it’s time to eat hot dogs and ramen for a month and spend my food budget on a game that I’ve played a hundred million times.
I don’t care. I’m excited.
After I make my wise purchase, I will eat a Cinnabon to celebrate. Expect plenty of hot Final Fantasy IV DS blogging action […]

Sonic Chronicles Footage

Sonic, Sonic, Sonic! (You have to say that like “Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!”) For a character who’s supposedly reviled, we sure can’t stop talking about him. But isn’t that typically the way of things in this industry?
GameTrailers has footage galore of Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for the Nintendo DS. Enjoy.

Not the Vay to Go

I don’t cover them new-fangled hoity-toity telephone games on this blog very much. There are two factors to blame: my own neuroses and my parents.
I blame my parents because they chose to mate and give birth to me in Canada, which is known for good basic living and good basic mobile telephones. What for […]
