Interview with Nippon Ichi America about Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (Nintendo DS)
Rhapsody is one of those JRPG’s I can’t help but adore. It’s got SRPG gameplay, yet it’s only ten hours long, ensuring a quick playthrough. It’s got very cute and original story and I’ve repeatedly used Rhapsody as “Baby’s First SRPG” for a lot of my friends, both male and female. From the “So bad…

Preview: MLB Power Pros 2008 (Wii, PS2, DS)
Last year, I was convinced that there was no baseball game better than MLB ’07: The Show. It had everything I could ask for in a baseball game, and just felt “right”, especially when compared to the dreck that was Major League Baseball 2K7. This year, that’s pretty much the case as well, but at…

Interview with FIFA ’09 Producer David Rutter
Anyone who’s a regular reader of mine knows a few things: 1) I write an irregular column that is going to bring our PR director to alcoholism before he’s 30. 2) Lucard and I have the potential to duel to the death over the Fire Emblem vs. Shining Force debate. (Editor’s Note – It’s not…

An Unreal History
With the recent release of Unreal Tournament 3 for the Xbox 360 it seems like a good time to take a look back at the history of this popular franchise. The history of the Unreal series is not only interesting to see how the games have evolved over time, but it is also directly tied…

So I was thinking about my absolute favorite game yesterday. Shining Force II. Then Panzer Dragoon Saga. Then Shining Force II again. It changes from second to second. Anyway, I…

Hands-On Preview: Mount & Blade (PC)
Mount & Blade, at first glance, seems to take a lot of its inspiration from Oblivion or Two Worlds. It’s a third person game with a decidedly medieval bent. It features town navigation, melee and ranged combat, third person action and overworld exploration. This only really scratches the surface, of course. Upon digging further into…

Interview with Ubisoft about Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party
I’ve been a huge fan of the Raving Rabbids series since it first started. Maybe it’s because I own two rabbids that run around my house like cats. Maybe it’s because I was a huge Three Stooges fan as a child. Maybe I just like hearing them scream.

I Hate So Much About the Things That You Choose to Be.
Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time I try to do something fun or exciting, you make it. . . not that way. I hate so much about the things that you choose to be. – Michael Scott to Toby Flenderson, (The Office 2.22)
