Playstation 3 80GB’s PS2 backwards compatibility sucks
We’ve hinted at it in the past, that removing the Emotion Engine chip from the 80GB (and future) Playstation 3 consoles would ruin backwards compatibility with many Playstation 2 games. Without it, the console runs these games via a software emulator. You may not even care about this feature if you no longer play [...]
Classic video games that need to be revamped in 2D
With the huge success of New Super Mario Bros. (having sold about 10 million copies by now), and upcoming games like Contra 4 DS
and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix being announced (and looking great), it appears that gamers are really getting back into playing their favourite game series the way they were [...]
Contra IV DS Preview
1up.com has the EXCLOOSIVE FIRST LOOK~! at a game I am almost TOO hyped about - Contra IV. Just like New Super Mario Bros. is to the Super Mario Bros. franchise, Contra IV DS lets us forget about all the shitty ports that have been excreted onto the market…

Lately they have been releasing [...]

Seeing all the retro gaming and virtual console gaming going on lately made me nostalgic about my early PC gaming years. One of the games I remember as striking was Duke Nukem 3D.
I remember seeing the game for the first time at my cousin’s house; I was playing innocent childish games at the time [...]
Finally, Zelda II is coming to Virtual Console as 100th VC title
It is rare for Nintendo to spill information on upcoming VC releases; any sneak peeks at each Monday’s new releases have come from speculation based on new ESRB ratings, or info from 3rd party publishers. The only other time they did this was before the release of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
But today, Nintendo let us [...]
