Capcom's cinematic action experiment is a (shotgun) blast to play.
In film, “popcorn flick” often holds a negative connotation, but like any genre it comprises both good and bad works judged by their own set of standards. Resident Evil 6 is a popcorn game and despite a few misguided design choices, it’s a damn good one.
An editor-in-chief's conundrum thanks to Sim City's rampant issues.
Reviewing games isn’t the easiest thing in the world to do. Boiling down exactly how you feel about an experience while providing an objective assessment of the game’s components is a delicate balancing act. With the introduction of always-online games, specifically Sim City, this fragile process has been put to the test. As editor-in-chief of this website, I have to consider how this new component of gaming is factored into our review policies and make a call about how the game’s score is affected.
Hidden gems in game code, SimCity rants, and Final Fantasy Fixes abound in this week's PB & Jason.
You may have heard the news that F-Zero AX was discovered inside F-Zero GX. That news inspired a brief bit of talk about other places where things were hidden pretty deep inside a few games from the past, mostly on the N64. Naturally, SimCity took up a lot of time, too, and Issue 118 closes with some of Julian's Final Fantasy piece.

Private Messaging! Notifications! The ability to hit the Enter key to log in! All this and more in today's changelog.
If you were up (for whatever reason) around 1:30AM last night, you might've noticed that a new feature stealthily dropped and hit the home screen. That feature is the frequently requested Private Messaging system! But wait, there's more!
We think the PS4 sucks...NOT!
Hello again! This week on Nerds Without Pants Julian and Patrick give all of their love to the PlayStation 4. There’s been a ton of negative talk swirling around the new Sony console, and the Pantsless Ones bring a refreshing amount of positive vibes to the discussion. But before that—games!
EA has made quite a few headlines this past week, but none of them are all that positive.
That's right, EA gets a lot of attention in this week's PB & Jason. Why? Well, for starters, SimCity has always-on DRM that's preventing a lot of people from playing the game. Beyond that, rumors of an unsuccessful Dead Space 3 & the cancellation of a Dead Space 4 has drawn ire, whether these rumors are true or not! On top of all this, we've got a couple user blogs focused, some discussion on in-game promotions of some video game media outlets, a special mention of Epic Mickey for some of my favorite listeners, Japanese eShop rules, and a lot of talk about the upcoming Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate community event. PB & Jason is recorded in front of a live studio audience every Wednesday, weather permitting. Click through for listening and download links!
Due to the move, the site will go down for just a few short hours tomorrow morning.
Howdy everyone! To start, I just wanted to say a quick sorry for my absence over the past couple days. It's been quite hectic in the DiMola household as we are in the process of making a cross country move from Florida to New York. Believe it or not, packing and moving a whole house with two small children is not the easiest thing in the world to do. Thankfully though, this part of our voyage is now complete. The next step, while the easiest for my family, is going to cause a small hiccup for you folks.
A brief look at the variety of gameplay features of Tactical Intervention.
