Fangamer's Chrono Trigger Fanfest 2010
I’ve never finished Chrono Trigger and I think that is probably a bad thing, so perhaps I will soon, and if I’ve ever had more of a reason to it’s thanks to Fangamer’s excellent Chrono Trigger Fan Fest.
Even though it started on the 25th, I’ve been following it every day and I do beg your pardon for not posting it sooner. It’s awesome and of course you can...

Good Game Get! WarioWare D.I.Y.
One day when I was home from college with my girlfriend, we were in my bedroom and I was digging through my closet for something and I found a plastic healthcare provider bag and decided to see what was in it.
“I thought I sold it.”
There it was.
My Super Nintendo, and it was kind of in a weird condition as I remember my little cousins having it after I sold it to them years...

Ni No Kuni Coming to PS3
The Level 5 and Studio Ghibli collaboration is still coming out for the DS, but now that a PS3 version has been announced, I can’t help but think it’ll be naturally superior.
The game looks absolutely great, and the over world traveling clips are some of my favorite of the trailer. When Square-Enix removed over world traveling from Final Fantasy I was pretty bummed, so it’s...

A Look at Jenova Chen's Design Mind [E3 2010]
e3ssentials is GGG’s way of hand-picking some coolness at e3 this year, so you don’t have to wade through the boring stuff. Also, I lied because this is after I said I wouldn’t have anything else to post about E3. Wrong! I won’t make assumptions like that again.

Maré Odomo's Letters to an Absent Father Mini...
Maré Odomo created a minor internet senstation when he dropped his first Letters to an Absent Father comic and now he’s made a book and selling it for three bucks. For five dollars he’ll even draw you something special in the book.
Talk about a deal!

Capcom’s revival of Clover’s Okami for the DS was a sigh of relief and excitement for me, but now that I continue to see such awesome videos of the game in motion - well this is officially my most anticipated DS game.
I know that seeings the new...

Marvel VS. Capcom 3 Gameplay

Holy shit this looks cool. I kind of still miss the sprites, but with over the top stylization like this - well I think I can be pretty happy with it.
Chris Redfield’s absolutely ridiculous multi-weapon attack towards the beginning of the fight is...

I’m stoked. It may allow jumping now, as well as swinging (of course) but you’d have to be a straight party pooper to not get at least excited about co-op.
No release date on the game yet, but just like last time it’ll be available for the...

Raving Rabbids got out of hand. Really out of hand. The introductary motion control Wii gaming it presented was cool, but the one Wii launch title turned into four games - and well, who knew when or how Christophe de Labrouhe would pull Rayman out of the Rabbid...

Super Sonic Philosophy
Charles Hamilton’s life philosophy is inspired by Sonic the Hedgehog.
While it may seem a little absurd and perfect for comedic abuse…
He has a point. It’s his philosophy, not a religion, and most importantly it works for him.
Whatever works, especially if it involves video games.

I am blown away by how cool the first real trailer for Scott Pilgrim is.
The PSN/LIVE Arcade game is soundtracked by Anamanguchi and is visually perfect and sonically awesome.

One of the Newest (And Cutest) Pokémon Revealed:...
It was revealed in the latest leak of the June issue of Japanese Coro Coro magazine that Shimama and six other new Pokémon are going to be in Black and White.
Here are translated deets on Shimama from Pokébeach:
It’s the Charged Pokemon, an Electric-type, and has Lightningrod or Motor Drive as its abilities. It has a new attack called “Wild Volt,” which does a lot of damage but also...

Good Game Get! X-Scape
X-Scape is the definitive DSiWare title and let’s face facts, DSiWare really hasn’t been all that great and most of the time browsing for games in the store isn’t enjoyable, and with a lack of demos and the frustrating points system it gets downright ugly. Add all of that in with the simple fact that none of your games are tied to any sort of account but rather a system that...

I’m not going into work on Friday. It doesn’t matter that two of our largest accounts have expanded. It doesn’t matter that, come next Monday, I will have to stay very late. It doesn’t even matter that skipping on Friday is going to hurt my wallet a little more than I care to admit. Yep, sometimes my personal priorities lead me down the wrong path. But with Hideo...

Short Post Hiatus
My MacBook HDD died, and because of that and other problems including fan issues and a horrible sounding disk drive, I’ve decided to get a new Pro.*
Hopefully I’ll receive it by Wednesday, and resume posting.
Besides, an internet/computer break probably isn’t so bad.
*Why get another Mac after your three year old one shitted out on you? Well, quite simply I get pretty sad...

Casual Friday: eBoy's FixPix Delights
It’s almost not even a game, or maybe it’s just an app where you play around with art using an accelerometer.
Whatever.
It’s a fun and totally dazzlingly way to experience isometric pixel art.
Play the demo here, and possibly buy it for your respective iDevice. It’s kind of like paying two dollars for 100 digital prints of eBoy’s art that you can manipulate.

New Japanese DSiXL Colors and Fantastic Commercial
Who the hell did this?
Nintendo of America should hire them too, and then they should do some charity work for GGG!
Seriously.
These are the types of great and focused ads we need here in the states, not that lifestyle, racist, “wii” would like to play bullshit.
Oh, and I like the green and yellow ones. The blue is kind of bland, but I could see it being a hit with some...

The $300 Air Freshener: Mach Pizza Delivery Man
You’ll find the above, extremely rare air freshener on eBay for a starting bid of $329. I doubt it’ll sell for that much, but it’s one of the coolest pieces of video game merch.
It’s not the actual piece that is awesome though, it’s the story behind how you would’ve acquired it in the ’90s.

Rumor has it that Sony is going to release Team ICO’s Shadow of the Colossus & Ico on a single single Blu-Ray disk to build hype for The Last Guardian, just as they did with God of War.
While this rumor is exciting, it comes with another piece of news that is kind of bummer. The bundle might not be released until Q1 2011 which means that we definitely aren’t going to see...
