Sonic the Hedgehog is a name that doesn’t hold the weight that it used to. During the Genesis era, he was practically neck and neck with Mario in terms of popularity. Fans got excited with every release as each game, though more of the same, was a challenge for the fans growing up with the Blue blur. Then as he...

Button Mashing w/ Niyeaux: The Capcom Versus Series (Part 1)
For the last decade and a half, Capcom has had an unusual obsession. Embedded somewhere deep in their corporate identity is the desire to see the characters they have created pitted against characters created by…everyone else. Over the years, this has blossomed into one of the most unique franchises in gaming history: the Capcom Versus series. Spanning over a dozen...
Third Strike: The Resurrection
In the summer of 2006, while working a temp job at Electronic Arts, I was introduced to the world of Street Fighter III: Third Strike. This is the game most people are familiar with only through EVO Moment #37, as it failed to receive the commercial success of its predecessor. Late to the party as I was (Third Strike was released...

The Nostalgic Demographic
As with all media and entertainment, the gaming community is one that’s aged and is aging rapidly. As usual, the target demographics are constantly shifting. As nagging children have turned into psychotic teenagers, and teenagers into diversely interested adults (though many still quite psychotic). Just as well, games have finally reached a point where many people have been playing them...
PC RULE #43: Dirty is the new clean.
My PC Rule reviews will be short, lovely and to the point. Instead of a rating, I will grant each title it’s worthiness. If it is impeccable, I will deem it “Must Play”. For those games only suitable for fans of the genre I will deem them “Fan-Boy Only”. Lastly, if the title is rubbish I will deem it “Dodge”....
A Day In The L1F3 – Day 4
The human race has countless mentors and inspirational people. It’s odd that the simplest and most intimate relationships we have are, in the end, the most inspiring. I started the day continuing to watch Californication season 2. My father turned me onto this great show that is beautifully written and creatively designed. I went for a trip to NCIX because...
A Day In The L1F3 – Day 2&3
You know, sometimes when the flood doors open there is nothing that the human race can possibly do to stop or ever slow the crazy waters. I don’t know how to console a crying stranger, but when it comes to the one I love there is a second level of nurture that takes control. Monday, was another non-bustling day. The...
A Day In The L1F3 – Day1
Nothing in life that matters to anyone ever comes in the realm of “expected”. Everything that changes one’s life is always without warning. I’m not going to sit here and try to protrude through the page and explain my “life long lessons”, I wouldn’t want to shit on your day. What I will try to divulge in the events in...
