Spudd 64's Top Ten Favorite Video Games of All...
Talented artist and incredible friend, Spudd 64 will be counting down his top ten favorite video games in the next ten weeks. Enjoy!

For most people I think that this game started out as a big WTF? I know it did for me. I mean, come on…a goofy fish with the face of a Japanese salaryman that insults you and makes fart jokes? As a videogame? On the newest, hottest, most...

Mega Man Plushies: So Ugly They're Cute.
Rockman and his dog are available for a re-homing fee of $49.95 on eBay.
The First Mega Man Box Art is Atrocious
Is this really what Capcom imagined him as when they were making the sprite?
Level Up! A Look at Progress & Power in Video...
While I’m not a fan of level grinding, I think a certain amount of leveling up when it’s integrated intelligently can just be awesome. In most “leveling up” games, the characters themselves gain experience points (which is collected by defeating enemies) and then the characters level up, which lands them skills, more hit points, and among other things depending on the game. In fact this “leveling...
the gameboy micro
Last summer, my girlfriend surprised me with one of the coolest video game-related gifts I’ve ever received. A Game Boy Micro! I had always wanted one, but like a lot of consumers, I felt the third iteration of the Game Boy Advance was steep for $99.
The high resolution screen, while tiny, is absolutely bright and awesome. The directional pad and buttons are spot on, with the exception...

“Thank you Mario, but our Princess is in another castle!”
I think I just got a little bit frustrated with that line. In any case, I never did actually finish Super Mario Bros. I played it. A lot. Who didn’t, really? I mean, nearly every kid growing...
New PixelJunk game about digging?
The awesome PixelJunk series which includes one of my favorite games, Eden will be adding a fourth game to it’s portfolio of stellar titles.
If you visit their website, you’ll see the cute sprites above (animated of course) and you’ll probably wonder, just like me, exactly what kind of game is coming soon with a dirt and a shovel.
I wonder.
Trash Panic - A New PSN Puzzle Game
Sony has announced that this ridiculous, original, and fun looking puzzle game will be released by the end of the spring here in the states.
I’ve only watched this video once and I’m super stoked.

Good List Get! Resident Evil
Good List Get! is a new weekly article where I briefly discuss and list the Awesome and Not Awesome of a game. While I can’t possibly list everything that rocks or doesn’t rock about a game, I’d like to think that this list sparks some thought about game design.
This week’s game is Capcom’s survival horror action game Resident Evil 5.
Awesome:
The co-op play...
Shrinkwrap device/heater and roll
My Girlfriend: http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/zip/1132817927.html (Shrinkwrap Device) this seems handy.

My Girlfriend: for what? i don't know
Me: totally handY! I got it! We'll buy games from Wally World Mart™ and then we'll steal them, stick a blank CD-R in the case, Shrink Wrap It™ and return it to the store and be like, " I hav naught open this. I have Wii, this is PSthrii onli." Kay thanks bai.
My Girlfriend: hahahahah that's kind of..... um dangerous. i was thinking something cooler hahah

1988 Inside News Report on Nintendo
This video rocks in more ways than words could ever describe.
Highlights:
• Pre-evil Bill O’ Reily and his admitted inability to understand video games and Lincoln Logs.
• All the awesome footage of Nintendo retail items.
• The president of the Fun Club’s bow tie.
• The advert/promo rep’s inabilty to admit Mario & Luigi’s real last names.
• The...

Good Game Get! Scarygirl
Scarygirl is a wonderful collab between Touch My Pixel and illustrator, Nathan Jurevicius. It’s a free web game that has some of the best flash work I’ve ever seen. Even better, the music, animated cut scenes, and illustrative work are top tier professional quality.
Like I said, the game will cost you nothing and it would’ve probably been better to have the complete website ready...
Sony is Dropping UMD Format for Patapon 2
In a strange move by Sony, they’ve announced that they will be releasing Patapon 2 on the PSN and in retail, but not on UMD. The retail copies of the games will include a card which will enable the user to download the game from the internet or their internet enabled PS3.
I don’t think this a good move for a few reasons:
- The PSP is not the PSP 2. It still needs to rely on UMD...

You have to understand something here. I played Castlevania: Symphony of the Night very near the time it was first released. It was probably some time in the summer or fall of 1998. But prior to this, the last videogame I had played was either...
A Bad Time to Release A Game...
is April Fools and Gregory Weir did just that.
He released his incredibly strange and questionable game, The Bryant Collection on April 1st and the populace’s reaction was one of confusion and doubt, merely because of the date on his blog post.
“It’s a shame, because despite the premise and backstory, The Bryant Collection is a real game, and one that I poured a lot of effort...
Gameboy Pocket: Classic
I’ve never seen this Gameboy Pocket colorway before, but it’s really awesome. It utilyzes all of the classic colors from the original Gameboy and this particular eBay auction appears to have it in great condition.
I often wonder if I like Japanese boxart more because it’s better or because it’s different. I’d say a combination of both. That simple blue print...

Good Game Get! Rittai Picross
If you haven’t heard yet, Rittai Picross for the DS is absolutely awesome. It’s not available in the states yet so if you want to import it, I highly recommend it.
The game isn’t too heavy on Japanese text, but it is very heavy on awesome 3D puzzle action. I’ve really never enjoyed a single player puzzle game more. I played Picross on the DS originally and enjoyed it, but...
Faggotron's Alice Music Video.
This guy is absolutely insane and awesome.
He used 90% of the sounds from Alice to make this music video

Contrary to Popular Belief, Goombas Are Actually...
Leave it to that evil Mario and his fat father Shigeru Miyamoto to cast such a stereotype on the innocent Goombas. I truly do wonder how many Mario has murdered in his never ending quest for lust, coins, and power.
Here are some examples of the soft and friendly Goombas* in the world:
Rondo the über cute dog with his best friend, a Goomba.
Kekoa the human child with his best friend, a...

Remember Vagrant Story? No? Well, you’re not alone. To me, it always seemed like hardly anyone remembers this gem and even fewer people played it. In fact, other than some guy I used to work with named Justin, I can’t recall ever talking to another...
Noby Noby Boy in the City
This contest submission for Noby Noby Boy t-shirts is absolutely awesome.
Two dudes dressed up as Noby Noby Boy running around to MIA’s paper planes is hard to top.
Also talk about some free viral marketing for Sony. Damn.

Good Game Get! Red Star Fall
The first flash game from Kongregate newcomer zedarus is a puzzler called Red Star Fall. The game’s goal is to get the Red Star to land on the bottom-most platform before the time is up. To do this you must carefully and methodically remove the pieces that are keeping the Red Star from reaching the platform.
One thing you can not do however is remove the pieces as quickly as possible as a...

Good Game Get! Steve Color
Steve Color is an absolutely bizarre game by Nikolaus Baumgarten that has no real goal other than jumping, running, and vandalizing Schloss Neuschwanstein and the St Basils Kathedral with a variety of paints. Created in a delightful 8bit look, Steve Color screams retro, but it’s gameplay and ideas are definitely modern.
The depth of field, and ability to mix colors is awesome, and you...

Then the amazing Space Invaders Cutting Board is yours for only $129.99.
This is cool, however I don’t really think I would drop 130 bones for one.

Shigesato Itoi Has An Online Music Store
I’m really not trying to post three back to back Mother 3 related posts, but I really can’t help myself when I find awesome stuff like this.
I was browsing Mother creator, Shigesato Itoi’s website when I found a link to this Mother 3 inspired online music store. The background music for the store is absolutely awesome, and the store itself has so much to click on, read, and do.
It’s a...

The Rolling HP Meter
The Mother/Earthbound series features one of the most unique and peculiar gameplay elements in video games. Essentially the Mother series plays and looks similar to earlier Dragon Quest games in terms of combat, but one of the biggest differences is how the HP meter behaves like a life odometer.
The part of this particular non-spoiler video that I want to focus on is the first part. Keep in mind...

My wonderful girlfriend has put together a collection of Mother 3 desktop backgrounds which contain white backgrounds and large sprites of enemies and characters.
If you like minimalism and Mother 3, then these backgrounds should be right up your alley.
