Handheld Age

September 9th, 2008

“Finish Him…if you know what I mean.”

Mortal Kombat generally has a dismal history on handheld systems. Meaning, most portable editions of the games are good for throwing under the feet of old people as they shuffle off the bus, but not much else.
So let’s counter those bite-sized curses with a great parody. Video game-related humour is thick on the Internet, but […]

A Goomba’s Last Desperate Moments

I think God has tacked his To-Do list on my head and is crossing stuff off extra hard because oh jeez, I’m in migraine country. It’s a hellish country.
There’s not much I can say or do except leave you with this animation. I guarantee it will make you pity Goombas.

See more funny videos and funny […]

Mega64’s “ESRB Rejected” Ad

Aw ESRB, why you gotta hate on a brilliant game ad for an “undisclosed handheld guitar game?” (Cough, Jam Sessions.) You silly, stuffy geeses.

I don’t see anything controversial about listening to some good ol’ soul-affirming music. Nor do I see a problem with rolling half-naked in the streets to said music like mange-afflicted dogs […]

Final Fantasy IV DS: Inner Thoughts

I love Final Fantasy IV and I’ve already made plans to marry Final Fantasy IV DS, but let’s face it: the game was melodramatic a thousand years ago and it has not grown sunnier with age.
In fact, the new translation really amps up the angst factor. The droning voice acting has also allowed me the […]

Lifesigns Manga Cretor: Acute Anime Overdose

You deserve a break today. Go ahead and play with the Lifesigns Manga Creator.
I never played Lifesigns: Hospital Affairs for the Nintendo DS. You probably didn’t, either. Lifesigns re-defined simulator games in its native Japan, but it was dismissed as a Trauma Center also-ran in America.

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.
MIND BLOWING TERRITORY: I first played the original arcade version of Double Dragon in some pub owned by a friend of my grandparents’. My uncle and cousins […]

“GOD DAMMIT, AAAA–”

Here we are at the cusp of E3. The beautiful sunset outside belays the chaos that will explode tomorrow.
Oh hey, there’s some dark clouds on the horizon, now that I look carefully. That adds to my metaphor nicely!
Seriously though, game news has been slow lately and things are set to change in less than 24 […]

MOTHER Fans: Please Find a Sense Of Humour

No, really. Please do it. It’s a shame that you all feel the need to fly into Puritan rages over an RPG series known for its off-the-wall humour.

Bow Before the New Prince of Persia

If you have qualms about falling to your knees, don’t think of it as an act of submission and reverence. Think of it as the only way you’re going to be able look the little Prince in the eyes.
“Now Prince, I already told you, no cookies before bedtime.”
