I used to like long games a lot. I used to think games should definitely be a certain length. Maybe I’m getting older, but I don’t like it when games are very long anymore. Sometimes a longer game gives you more to do, but other times there isn’t necessarily ‘more’ to do, but instead it [...]

Harvest Moon 64

What have I been doing? Playing Harvest Moon 64. It’s an oldie, releasing in 1999, but a goody. It’s an odd game, like the rest of the Harvest Moon series. All you do is manage a farm which feels very much like doing chores. What makes it so fun? The answer to why Harvest Moon [...]

It’s that time again! Spring is in the air, summer is right on the horizon, and we once again have backlogs of backlogs of backlogs, and lots of games are releasing in the next few months. We do this every year. We evaluate where we’re at with the games we played this past year, and [...]

I’ve been wanting to play Xenoblade Chronicles for a long time. XC is a Japanese game that localized in Europe first since NOE has been localizing more games than NOA.

I remember seeing Kid Icarus Uprising around the time the 3DS was first announced. It looked totally awesome and I was really excited to get my hands on it. Unfortunately it seems to have taken pretty much a year into the 3DS’s life cycle before it actually came out, but I would say that it [...]
Resident Evil: Revelations and Circle Pad Pro

Resident Evil: Revelations Some people probably wouldn’t consider me much of a Resident Evil fan, seeing as my first foray into the series was with RE4. I have, however, managed to snag almost every new entry into the series since then and even poked around in some of the older games. The stories are a [...]
Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure … 3DS!

Skylanders, in pocket form. A few months back I gave my impressions of Skylanders and talked about why I liked it so much. Over the holiday break I decided to pick up the 3DS version of the game, despite still working through the 360 version along with a sizeable backlog of other games. I passed [...]
