Review – Pokémon White

Review – Pokémon White

Thirteen years and over fifty games later, I finally decided to stop avoiding the juggernaut that is the Pokémon franchise and gave the perennial card-fighting RPG a shot with Pokémon White.

Don’t forget to check out Molly’s poképro perspective with her review of Pokémon Black!

From the Desk of Mr. Hawkins: Dear Square-Enix

Dear Square-Enix,

You and I go way back, don’t we? What has it been now, 25 years? I’ve stood by you through thick and thin, and you know you’re one of my all-time favorites for developing and publishing amazing games, but we haven’t been all that close as of late and I think we should talk.

Pata-Pata-Pata-Boner

Pata-Pata-Pata-Boner

With a perfect combination of addicting rhythm and psuedo-RTS elements, Patapon is one of the more unique and lovable series on the PSP. Much to my delight, the series has done well enough to warrant a third entry in the franchise, and it’s coming stateside next month!

Ocarina of Time Is Not the 3DS Zelda We Deserve

Ocarina of Time Is Not the 3DS Zelda We Deserve

At E3 2010, Nintendo announced that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was getting the remake treatment for the 3DS.

MvC3 or TvC2?

MvC3 or TvC2?

After ten years of solid support and tournament play of Marvel vs Capcom 2, Capcom officially took notice and rewarded fans with what they call “a huge evolution in Versus gameplay”. Marvel vs Capcom 3 is definitely a fun game, but to me it feels more like they made Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2 and passed it off as the game we’ve been waiting to see for the better part of a decade.

Time To Offer Saving To The Cloud

Time To Offer Saving To The Cloud

It was bound to happen someday, but when I got on the plane headed for home and realized I had left my flash drive on the hotel bed, my stomach sank and I began recounting all the countless hours put into Borderlands, Fallout, Final Fantasy XIII, Alan Wake, Mass Effect, and the other 300+ games I’d played since the Xbox 360 launch. So now what?

How Is Sony Off the Hook (White Sense)?

How Is Sony Off the Hook (White Sense)?

Sony recently announced its successor to the PlayStation Portable, the NGP. The device itself looks off the hook (black sense), but one thing stood out that bothered me. Kaz Hirai himself stated that every NGP title released would be available on both physical media and on the PlayStation Network Store. But wait, wasn’t Sony’s last portable system one that required downloadable games off PSN, saw meager availability, and full on dismissal on new games from even the biggest publishers?
