PSN Essentials: Future Cop L.A.P.D.
With news that Sony would be re-releasing it to the PSN, I thought it a perfect time to look back at one of my favorite PSOne titles, Future Cop L.A.P.D., and share with the world how awesome this old game was. Generally I’m known for being a huge advocate of strong video game narratives. I’ve … Read more
The Best Games You’ve Never Played – Insanely Twisted: Shadow Planet
I bought Insanely Twisted: Shadow Planet last year. Not when it came out and not soon after—we’re talking December and almost completely on a whim; I had spare points and remembered it from one of Inside Xbox’s Arcade previews as “the game they *aren’t* shoving down my throat this week” and “the one that has style … Read more
Best Games You’ve Never Played: Why “Rochard” Is a Downloadable Game You Need to Try
“Rock is hard. John Rochard is harder.” This may sound like the movie byline of a sexually charged 70′s blaxploitation film, but trust me when I say it’s way more awesome. Developed by Recoil Games, Rochard–named after the game’s protagonist (and is pronounced “ROW-shard” or the equally acceptable “Rock-Hard!”)–is a downloadable, side-scrolling game that is … Read more
My Unhealthy Obsession With Final Fantasy Tactics
(Note: Thanks to the Final Fantasy Tactics wikia and to the Final Fantasy Tactics Screen Shots page for pictures!) It started sometime in the early 2000′s. While everyone else had a PS2 or a Dreamcast, I was just getting a PSOne. I was late to the console race, having only ever owned an NES and … Read more
Where Are The Fighting Game Franchises I Love?
With the Fighting Game genre having reached a new renaissance of evolved gameplay, and the successful revival of fan-favorite franchises in recent years (with the arrival of Street Fighter IV, Mortal Kombat, Marvel Vs Capcom 3) I’ve expected this trend to continue and give us more long-lived franchises or long-lost cult faves to sate our … Read more
Infinite Ammo Presents “Ender Quest: Trine”
============================================ Infinite Dictionary: Ender Quest (En-DURR kwest): A gamer’s unrelenting quest to finally complete a game, whether for the story or for Trophies and Achievements (or both). ============================================ Trine 2 just came out: with it came fond memories of the action/side-scrolling platformer that started the franchise, Trine. I started Trine half a year ago: having … Read more
A Gamer’s Holiday – Christmas NiGHTS
There are three ways to do every holiday. There’s the right way: buy a ham, cook it with the family, sing some Christmas carols. There’s the wrong way: bring a Christmas tree to your Jewish girlfriend’s holiday party. Perhaps, drop your White Russian and your anticipatory, “I’m going to propose to your daughter now” cigar on … Read more
The Best Games You’ve Never Played – “Evil Zone”
(All of the following pictures are provided by Evil Zone‘s fanpop site). Take some character archetypes from every anime you’ve ever seen, throw them together in the story of an interdimensional battle to stop an evil sorceress, and give us a weird, unusual control scheme while you’re at it. Evil Zone had MADE IN JAPAN … Read more
The Best Games You’ve Never Played – “Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy”
If any game ever needed a sequel, this is the one. Arguably one of Midway’s best games, Psi-Ops: the Mindgate Conspiracy was the story of Nick Scryer, a psi-operative trying to uncover a secret plot to destroy the world while uncovering his memories at the same time. With gameplay based on various psychic powers and … Read more
The Best Games You’ve Never Played– “Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner”
I can’t lie. I didn’t play the first Zone of the Enders. Hadn’t even heard of it until I picked up the sequel. But from what I know, you don’t really need to play it, because the 2nd Runner has everything you’d ever want from an awesome anime/mech-influenced game. Ever wonder how’d it be to … Read more
