Slim PS Vita Announced
It seems Sony decided to go ahead and announce a bunch of interesting things before TGS next week, chief among them, as a diehard fan of the Vita, is that a new slim-line model is coming out. When Sony released the slim PSP it introduced a brief golden age of PSP gamin ...
Horror Adventure Back on GOG
Classic horror-adventure game I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream is back on GOG.com. As we gear up for October with the new Amnesia and recent release Outlast its good to see that the classic horror titles aren’t being forgotten. It’s also a good reminder fo ...
Schmame Over: After Dark 2
Here it is, folks, another in our infamous series of After Dark podcasts! (Which really doesn’t make much sense because we record all the podcasts after dark anyway!) This means we’re way more off topic, way more vulgar, and far less coherent than normal. We ...
Oh, Right, XCOM!
Geez, how remiss am I? I completely forgot to say anything at all about the expansion pack coming to my game of the year for 2013 XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Titled XCOM: Enemy Within, the expansion adds new missions, units, weapons and armor. It’d probably just be bett ...

Mystery Pokemon
So Pokemon Rumble U is out and in a pseudo Skylanders move there are figures that you can purchase to import special Pokemon into the game. And, me being obsessed with figures and Pokemon, I went out and purchased a couple. Do I own the game? No. Do I plan on owning the ...
No Puns Here, Just Wonderful Music
It’s too easy to make puns about The Witch and The Hundred Knight so let’s just go ahead and skip them, yeah? I’d never heard of this Japanese game, but the soundtrack is surprisingly good. The game is out on Playstation 3 with plans for a western rele ...
Nintendo Gets Why WiiU Failing?
Nintendo seems to understand why the WiiU is failing. “The issue is the lack of a steady rate of software launches to motivate the consumer to drive buzz and engagement and to highlight the wide variety of uses of the GamePad. That’s the issue.” Says ...
Schmame Over 18: WAT
Whoa, one of the usual crew is missing today on Schmame Over, but that’s okay because he’s replaced by an equally (possibly more!) sexy voice. Today the Schmamers discuss the joys and horrible pricing pitfalls of Plants vs. Zombies 2, the terrors of The Last ...
