Review: Space Channel 5 (Game Boy Advance)
Hmmm. You know I had a choice between doing the Jet Grind Radio GBA review and this one. And guess what went through my head? ?Well, the play control on JGR is going to lose something in the port. And SC5 is a Rhythm game. How hard can THAT be to do correctly?? And therein…

Retrograding Weekend News 06.29.03
Right. I’ve spent most of this week doing interviews and resume sending so I haven’t had much free time. I’ve just learned my fiancee is going nuts back in the UK, and I realized no matter what I write, it’s going to be a let down compared to last weeks Adam Ryland interview. So I…

Retrograding Advance 06.16.03
Yeah, I know. I thought I’d be writing only once a week as well. Who knew? Well, everyone but me apparently. But seriously, I’m weekends only. This is just to make up for the time I was gone. As a lot of you may know, instead of getting a fee game with your Game Cube,…

Retrograding Advance 01.23.03
Well, people, a little comment as I get emails about this. My columns are not put up as soon as I write them. I give them to Chris, and when he has time, they go up. So yes, you WILL notice me talking about things over email to you that may seem different from what…

Ratings will be at the end of the column though for you. I simply can’t put everything I’m going to say into the standard form here. Now, the original Eye…

Retrograding Advance 12.17.02
Retrograding is going to be about old games, systems and other stuff. The other Columnists like Ron and Bebito are the people you go to for current US releases, news and rumours. I’m the guy who comes off like an old hermit raving about the Neo*Geo and how games are far too easy nowadays and…
