Epic Default Productions

Capcom is a rather prolific company with a storied history.  They have created some extremely popular game series, such as Megaman (Rockman),  Resident Evil (Biohazard), and Street Fighter, as well as many popular single games or short-lived series, such as Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and Dead Rising. What can make a company as epic as Capcom fail?  Dive in and we shall find out.

Pew, Pew, Pew!

After I reviewed Marble Madness, I decided to tackle a longer and more complex game than I had in previous reviews.  I believe I have accomplished that goal.

I’ve got your legacy right here!

This week’s dive into the mind of a classic gamer brought to you by:

Rolling Onwards (don’t you groan at me!)

I heard a quote on NPR the other morning that got my brain working overtime.  Guillermo del Toro, director of many great movies, said “In the next 10 years, there will be an earthshaking Citizen Kane of games.”  Although I have not made a determination on whether his statement is correct, in either the sheer elegance or time-frame of said game, I did wonder, “What video game(s) out today would come close (or maybe even meet) the criteria of Citizen Kane?”

Something catchy about Rosebud to make you giggle

Our ever so lovely eye-shuh (pictured below, after an all-night bender) is now an offical Omeganaut.  We wish her luck, and want to know who is going to Toyko with her when she wins?

Please don’t hurt me eye-shuh, Jonny said he had a picture of you, but he lied.  You can blame him.

An old tradition of mine was to send out a simple questionnaire on Friday mornings to my friends and have them send their responses back to me. I was fairly very subjective when it came to the answers provided to me by my cohorts in crime, as wrong but humerous answers would also garner points. Now, I cannot accept responses from everyone, nor will I grade them if e-mailed to me, but I will present to you this weeks trivia, with answers to come in due time (maybe this weekend, if you are nice).  If you want a real challenge, try not looking these up on the tubes.  It’ s more fun that way.  Feel free to answer in the forums or comments, if you so dare.  There are no prizes, as this is just for entertainment and bragging purposes.

This week’s topic: The (recently) late and great John Hughes

Don’t you, forget about… Who again?

On a quest to uncover the classics, I have dived into another NES-tastic game.

No case too big, no case to small

I have gone on a classic binge recently, and have decided to write about my misadventures in retro gaming.  First on the list:

Duh, duh, duh, dum *snap, snap*

Want a cheap game that is super fun to play?  Of course you do.  That’s why you’re going to keep reading this article as I laud the joys of a game called Ikaruga.  Now why would I suddenly bring up a game from the sixth generation of systems?  Currently you can pick up this fantastic game on Xbox Live Arcade and play with your friend across the world and, as an added benefit, this week only it will set you back a mere $5.

Pew, Pew Pew!

How should we take down the king of computers?  The possibility of Microsoft’s demise has given hope to the Mac and Linux cultures for many years; however, this is not an easy task, but it can be done.  Let’s find out how.
