A bunch of us old-timers read the news a few days back, excited to see what is coming down the pipeline.

I second this, that was my first thought when I saw it. For personal preference, I would go with the classic wood style. Not a fan of the black body with bright red accents.

But if Nintendo does create enough SNES minis and they have a decent line-up of games (and an acceptable reach of a controller cord), I will be in line. It may be my optimistic mind, but I think demand for the SNES will be insane. I had a NES, but the games didn't wow me as a child in the...

Ensemble Studios was closed by Microsoft in 2009, ending any full-time production of the Age of Empires series. The AoE HD version was contracted out to smaller teams from other studios whose members were previous Ensemble employees or who have PC game experience(Skybox Labs, Forgotten Empires...

I enjoyed the show as a kid, but I really can't see myself enjoy a TV movie starring children. The nostalgia-movie has potential in-general, but the older and more unknown the franchise, the more difficult of a sell it will be to the younger audience who did not watch the original product and...

This pair of monsters is such a strange pairing, even for the 1962 version. I see these two as creatures of different genres. I see King Kong more as a fantasy creature, something that lives in a world of Harryhausen creations like living dinosaurs, larger-than-life animals, Cyclops and...

a young man disembarks from his plane, tired after a long transatlantic flight. He is from Reading, visiting the United States to meet a business partner and former college friend.

I've sort of lost track of the conversation train, but I wanted to applaud you and everyone else in the chain for their civil and respectful dialog. This conversation could have turned sour at any point, but you all agreed and disagreed, argued your points, and explained your answers with...

You wrote that there was this article coming along that detailed your thoughts on the game, but that you deleted the article because of a realization that the game was embarrassingly easy. That seems like a very unpleasant reaction to a thought. Was this realization really so overpowering that...

Podracer on the 64 was pretty fun. I never felt like I was playing a Star Wars game though, just felt like a space-racing game.

While it can't claim to be an original game, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds is still a favorite of mine, mostly because I've been addicted to Ensemble's Age of Empires series since I was a wee lad. It is an RTS built off the AoE2 engine, and I enjoyed the heck out of it and it's map/story...

The skull/helmet of Vader was shocking, overall I enjoyed this trailer, and the return of Han and Chewie. But most of all, X-wings, lots of x-wings.

War Thunder: I'm not great at it, but not the worst. The best I can say is that the game works fine. Dishonored: Strangely bored of it, but first-person stealth games aren't my thing. And I'm sick of steam punk/Victorian settings. Dues Ex: I haven't played it yet, but watched the Spoiler...

Mega Man is a good choice. I think my preference was for the music of Mega Man X series, but regardless both series had great music. When I think of Duck Tails, I think the music is memorable and well-done, but not something I would listen to for just itself. But I won't deny the feeling in...

An older computer game by Sierra Entertainment called Silent Thunder, and A-10 Warthog flight sim. The soundtrack is a mix of metal and upbeat instrumentals inspired by Arabic and South American music.
