Scott Pilgrim. You aren’t a nerd if you haven’t heard anything at all about Scott Pilgrim recently. Rarely in nerd life does such a thing like this happen. In fact, the last time I can remember an IP taking off somewhat like Scott Pilgrim has, was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise media deluge, [...]

Adam said he’d buy this for me, seeing as how I’m the only one here at the Breach who has a Wii and who touches it with some regularity. I finally saw the trailer for it and he doesn’t need to shell out his hard earned cash for it; this is a day one [...]

I can’t believe this is a thing. Very much like choose your own adventure books of old, play these very well done 8-Bit snippets of Twilight: Eclipse and choose your own path toward the end of each of them. I keep looking for either a “Start a massive werewolf/vampire, bestiality orgy” or “Start the [...]

Giant rocks, tower defense, Monty Pythonesque art styling. Those are three things that are missing from my life. Atlus wants to fix my sad existence so they’re bringing Rock of Ages to my PS3 (PC, 360 too) via download next spring. Thanks guys! Via their youtube channel’s description of this insanity:
A rock-solid [...]

This’ll maybe appeal to two guys on the Breach but the currently Japan-exclusive, turn based RPG is – if the trailer is indication – the solution to the problem of never having been able to play a Studio Ghibli movie. It’s being developed by Level 5 (The Professor Layton franchise) and Studio Ghibli (Spirited [...]

There are two reasons I’ve never dared tread into the world of MMO’s: 1. I have, admittedly, a highly addictive personality when it comes to stuff like this. 2. The traditional “medieval land of fantasy and magic” shtick, while appreciated, doesn’t do it for me. It looks like number 2 just got crossed off [...]

I had forgotten that E3 was going on and wouldn’t you know it, here’s a video of the Scott Pilgrim game. I think it’s hitting the right amount of retro along with some fairly smooth animations. See what you think after the jump.

My wife called me a pussy the other day. I tend not to take name calling very seriously but when she calls me that in particular and we’re not in the middle of a profanity fest, it’s usually because I’m being a pussy. Her reason for referring to me as the best thing [...]

Holy shit.  Fair warning: I have no idea what this is for.  It could be for a movie, judging from the star power but in this day and age, I wouldn’t bet against a trailer for a new game either. Hell, why not both? Speculation aside, all I can say for sure is [...]

Thirty hours of my life and still counting.  That’s how much time up until this review I’ve put into Red Dead Redemption.  I’ve completed the main story, but I just can’t stop playing it.  I would’ve never expected to sink this much time into a game that wasn’t a hardcore RPG.  Sure, Rockstar (the developer) [...]

When I first got my Wii back in ‘07, this is one of the first games I bought off the Virtual Console service and for good reason. I personally plowed through this game on the Sega Genesis multiple dozens of times and that’s not counting the extra run-throughs with my kid sister back in [...]

It’s not often that both Transformers fans and gamers have something to celebrate together. In fact, the last time was NEVER. The more info that pours in about Transformers: War for Cybertron, the more I allow myself to dream the little dream of having good, if not great, Transformers game.
What we have here [...]

If there’s one thing that I miss about the 80s-90s, it’s the arcade and the smelly subculture that lurked in it.  It was about as social as nerds got back in the day.  The weird silent kinship of walking up next to a complete stranger, plopping your quarter down in the little nook next to [...]

Ah, Castlevania. If ever there was a videogame franchise that proved that you don’t have to change a lot to stay relevant, this is it. Sure, most franchises from that era have attempted some variation of gameplay like going 3D or turning themselves into a successful FPS/A trilogy but the fondness for the old [...]

For anyone that’s a fan of retro gaming, you really have to check this out. I really wish I had more of a set up but just hit the jump and watch away!
