The greatest Nintendo Download there ever was or will be

September 27, 2012

Nintendo 3DS/nintendo download/Nintendo Wii

Quarth… not only the glorious city of the far East in the world of Game of Thrones, but also a GameBoy title from ’90 where you shoot shapes from a spaceship. Connection? I’m thinking no, other than the name of course. I don’t really remember Konami’s Quarth for the GameBoy,…

Demo/Diablo/Horror/impressions/Preview/Roguelike/Silent Hill Book of Memories

Silent Hill is a sacred series. I realise that’s a bit ironic since it’s also a series about horrible ghosts, suicidal guilt, and other such depressing matters, but it’s the truth – it’s the premier horror franchise (even moreso now that Resident Evil has turned into a Call of Duty…

I don’t actually think Sony sucks at all. I actually rather like Sony. But that headline may well generate for me more traffic than anything else this month. Over at N4G today the #1 story is “I hope Sony goes away so people won’t have anything to cry about.” The…

Hell Yeah/Marvel vs Capcom Origins/XBLA Update/Xbox 360

Hell Yeah! is a game, you see. About a vengeful (and dead) rabbit. He’d probably fit right in on the roster of the original Marvel vs Capcom, which smashes the download service this week as well. Marvel vs Capcom, now subtitled Origins, was one of my favorite fighting games for…
