My two regular readers may recall my year-old article on Picross Addiction and the four color minimalist joys of Mario’s Picross. You may also recall a promise of a “part two” that was going to cover the first two games in the Picross e series on 3DS. Well, how about it? Beyond my usual real …
(Thanks to Eric for the reference, click here for the full effect.) As I mentioned earlier, granting access to the public Destiny Beta was a master stroke for Bungie’s latest creation to sink its meat hooks into my imagination. I preordered the game proper, and the PS3 version was shipped to me, “Day One”. I …
I don’t know if you have heard of GamerGate, and I doubt many folks will read this. I’m just an old nerd who loves videogames, and occasionally blogs about it. But this is an issue that has been bothering me for weeks and I feel I need to speak out, even if no one is …

Destiny was barely on my radar. With kids and a backlog of games waiting to be played, I don’t rush out to buy games at full price these days. On top of that, my latest console is a Wii U. My next purchase was most likely Mario Kart 8 or Super Smash Bros. I loved (and still …

Neo Driftout is definitely my favorite driving game on the Neo-Geo, and I’ve never quite been happy with my previous Shockbox insert. I think this came out pretty well, and I hope you enjoy it. My next insert will probably be a revision of my design for Last Blade 2. Cheers, Ben

Playing along at home during E3 is a time-honored tradition among internet nerds, myself included, and having skimmed the press conferences the message seems to be, “We have some great games coming in 2015 or later! Please look forward to them!” That said…there are a few promising games coming out this year. Here’s what interests …
I’ve been sitting on a long standing request to fix my insert for Magician Lord, since it incorrectly stated the game was for 1-2 Players. I’ve hesitated, since I’ve never been totally happy with the layout. I’ve wanted to redo the back for awhile. Anyway, here they both are… So let’s check the tally on …
Got a little ahead of myself on this insert, but it now A) has the proper MEG count and B) features the Neobitz logo (no SNK). Cheers, Ben
You may remember when I found out that some kind and generous souls from across the pond had started publishing NEW Commodore 64 games on cartridge, and that I was going to try out as many as I could via emulation, then order a couple… Well, I finally did! After narrowing the field down – by …
