Defend your Castle!
Sunday, August 10th, 2003

This is a very addictive Flash game…

Basically you have a castle that is being attacked by a bunch of stickmen. You pick them up with the mouse, and throw them into the air, so that they splat down and die. You can also convert your enemies to your own side, then train them to be […]

New Nintendo product, Zelda, Donkey Kong
Thursday, August 7th, 2003

Anarticle at Gamespot.com says that Nintendo will be announcing a new product next spring. That’s a new product not a new game.

So… I wonder what it could be?

“All these complex, large-capacity games of today require enormous amounts of energy and time of users,” said Iwata. “I want to release a very different product, and by […]

Sony PSP Pictures
Wednesday, July 30th, 2003

Update: Here’s a good link to the some hi-res photos of the official Sony PSP. (updated on 5/11/04)

Gizmodo has posted pictures of the new Sony PSP. I haven’t seen them posted on any of the major sites like Gamespot.com or anything, so I don’t know if they might be fakes or not. Looks a lot […]

Iridion 3D Review
Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

I got Iridion 3D from amazon.com the other day for $5.29, and thought I’d post a little review of it.

In short for the skimmers, I’m having more fun writing this review than I did playing the game.

The story of the game goes something like this:

Show picture of city
Show picture of battleship
Show 1, no… 2, no…. […]

Iridion for GBA: $5.29
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2003

Amazon.com is having a clearance sale on the game Iridion right now, for $5.29! I’ve never played the game, and it was a launch title so may not be that great, but hey, it’s cheaper than a happy meal and has free shipping! I will probably buy a copy to see if it’s any good, […]

Yoshi’s Island for GBA for sale
Sunday, July 13th, 2003

I’m selling SOLD my copy of Yoshi’s Island for the Game Boy Advance through Amazon.com. It’s a really fun game and it’s in mint condition. I just took it out of the box to play it, beat it, and now I’m selling it. If you liked any of the other Mario games, you will enjoy […]

Blizzard’s GBA Game Demos
Thursday, July 10th, 2003

Why is Blizzard the only company making demos of their Game Boy Advance games available online? It seems like it would really help the sales of some GBA games to be able to play a sample of them online before you buy it. Especially since a lot of video stores don’t rent out GBA games. […]

No online gaming from Nintendo
Monday, July 7th, 2003

An article at The Register says that Nintendo has no plans to support online gaming with the Gamecube, though they are looking into it for their upcoming “N5” gaming system.

I think it’s probably a good idea for them to avoid online gaming at this point as well. It isn’t really catching on for Sony or […]
