Retro Games to Remember: Banjo-Kazooie!
During the long, dog days of summer it seems that video game release dates are as rare and distant as your dreams of seeing a girl naked before the Mars Rovers are ever recovered. So instead of just sitting in the dark and sweating into a pile of old socks and ice cream sandwich wrappers, I thought I would take another look at a video game I haven’t played since shortly after Duke Nukem Forever was first announced and women were still second-class citizens.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Preview
Starting with Wind Waker I began to realize something. The Legend of Zelda series hasn’t grown up with me. And come to think of it, neither has Nintendo. Nintendo chases after kids like a pedophile who just got his van tuned up. Recently Mike wrote an article about how Nintendo has lost its way and I agreed with him.

Top 10 Strategy Games of All Time
No video game genre is more divisive, perhaps, than strategy games. Games that are hailed as the greatest by some are hated like Tracy Morgan at a gay pride parade by others. But there are a few gems in the genre that stand out like an attractive girl at an anime convention.

8 Games I’m NOT Really Excited About At E3
In case you’ve been locked in a sexual predator’s basement for the past six months, E3 just finished and every video game news site has articles about the E3 games they were most excited for. While anybody with a shred of credibility in the video game industry was being entertained with previews of upcoming games, I was sitting at home eating corn pops naked and alphabetizing my personal flaws.
Top 10 Space Simulator Games
I used to have an imagination. I could dream up interesting worlds and go on exciting adventures without huffing enough glue to kill an elephant. Unfortunately years of working in a cubicle, surrounded by people who are genetically closer to cardboard than primates, has reduced my once vivid imagination to day dreaming about eating a doughnut without getting heart burn. Clearly, I need the stuff of my youth to kick start this Swiss cheese brain again. I need the space simulator games of the 1990′s.
