A Quick Word from Our Sponsor

Yeah, our CPM is garbage. We make a pittance on clicks, but it's the only revenue we generate, so feel free to click if you like. I've seen people make a killing on Google Ads, but those people are not us.

Alright guys, let's stop now. I think it's clear you don't see eye to eye and it's getting a bit out of control. It's fine to discuss religion/politics/whatever else here, but it needs to be a civilized, intelligent debate.

I'm sorry it's had to come to this, but if I see it continue any further, I'm going to have to take administrative action.

Hey Joe - I'll take a look into these issues. There is a bug that Angelo Grant found one day and I haven't been able to pinpoint what's causing the problem. I do have the text he was using, so I can do some testing with that and try to resolve the issue.

Wii U HD port and I'm all over this. I'd love to get the full roster all in one version of the game. Come on Namco!

The Legend of Zelda Review


Posted on 12/16/2013 at 10:18 AM | Filed Under Review

I adore this game. It's easily one of my favorites in the series and I most definitely prefer it over the entire handheld line of Zelda games (with the exception of A Link Between Worlds).

It's stunning to see what an impact it's had on gaming and just how damn visionary it was for its time. It's basically the archetype for action-adventure games and many a game have borrowed some or all of its concepts.

If it had some better hinting to guide you, I think just about anybody could love it. If I didn't have the entire game committed to memory, I'm sure it would bother me more, but I played it so much as a kid that I discovered everything that could be found then.

Game recommendations for an 8-year-old?


Posted on 12/06/2013 at 08:16 PM | Filed Under Blogs

Banjo-Kazooie is definitely a solid recommendation, as has been mentioned above, especially if he already likes both Mario Kart and Minecraft. Sits somewhere between those two experiences and the classic B-K platformers.

This is kind of a weird suggestion, but maybe he'd like Earth Defense Force 2017. It's a fun one for co-op and kind of adult, but pretty PG in terms of its depiction of stuff.

Letting go

I love Steam and will buy games on there that are strictly digitally distributed. But for anything else, I still prefer grabbing the physical copy. Of course, I basically have a gaming shrine in my basement where all of my stuff is on display on huge shelves that line the walls.

But for anything I do buy on Steam, it needs to be extremely cheap, because I don't place much value on the digital version of these products. Maybe it's a bad mantra to have, but I guess I don't really perceive digital goods to be true products.

In the case of physical releases, I very rarely shell out the cash for just released games. Thanks to Cheap Ass Gamer I manage to get in on some ridiculous deals when games are long past their release for pennies on the dollar. At that point it's probably equivalent to the price on Steam, but like I said, I'd rather have the physical artifact, so at least in my mind, it's a superior deal.

I do expect that physical games will be largely phased out toward the end of the new generation, but I'm hoping that an option to buy at retail is always available for dinosaurs like me, even if it means paying a premium.
