Mommy, Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure makes the voices in my head talk real fast. And one voice is all mad while the other voice is real happy.
The happy voice is like, “Oh hey, this is a game for girls!”
And the mad voice is all grumpy and is like, “Yeah, but the main character, Cornet, embodies […]

Here’s a sad, mournful change of pace. A video game was inadvertently the cause of intense violence, and the papers got the name of the game right.
A 20-year-old UK man, Matthew Pyke, was found dead in his Nottingham flat. The Law believes his death may be related to the Advance Wars forum he maintained.

Here we have some delicious media for Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Which, as it so happens, is out quite soon. October of 2008. Where the hell have I been? God, you’d think I was working or engaging in some other manner of time-wasting fuckery.
Now that you’ve seen Shanoa execute impressive attacks whilst clad in high […]

Okay, so I kind of like musicals. I did something wrong in a past life and have since been paired with a husband who hates musicals (”Why are they singing? Why can’t they just talk?“), but I think even he’d like this.

Over at my totally awesome Playstation Blog, I transcribed my fruitless journey to find Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure for the Nintendo DS. I tried a few different stores, but nobody within knew how to spell “rhapsody,” nor were they accepting of my help. One bright fellow did take out his iPod and consult his playlist […]

All right, so I missed Xenogears and maybe it’s no confidence that my life feels strangely empty, but I think I might give Sega’s World Destruction a good ol’ go when/if it comes here.
The lead character is named Kyrie. He’s a world-destroyer, though he doesn’t know why. Good stuff! All of mythology’s world-altering […]

I’m currently involved in a smallish project that centres around Lego Batman, so I’ve ingested a significant amount of detail about the game. For starters, it’s adorable. I think the trailer–which shows off the vehicles you can use, because what in God’s name is Batman’s worth without the Batmobile–should get a hug from […]

I always feel bad when a Harvest Moon game lets me down, because I feel like a bitter old bitch. I can feel Natsume frowning at me and saying, “It’s called Island of Happiness. How can you possibly dislike it, you ice-hearted witch? Do you hate happiness?”
And then I have to steel myself and say, […]

Sometimes I think about characters’ last names, the same monikers they pass on to their children. If my father told me to stand up and represent the surname Hatsworth—especially while wearing a monocle and a safari hat—I would probably sink to the bottom of the ‘89 station wagon.
But Lord Hatsworth appears to be […]
