Hey guys,
Like a good deal of the SA crew, I too made it to Round 2 of the Street Fighter IV tournament.
Mind you, it was by luck. The real winner is going to be in Peru this weekend and can't make it. Luckily, my GameStop manager told me I could take his place. The luck comes in as I was knocked out by this guy, and apparently he beasts whichever character he uses, according to the other Winner(Here-on referred to as Katastrophe) who I've been practicing with.

(After the Fact is a Review of more modern games outside of their normal review period, taking into account other reviews of the game as well as gamer response. Also, it'll focus mostly on gameplay, and will only mention things like music or graphics if it's noteworthy.)

Hey guys! I've finally decided to get off my ass and start doing some pro-active projects. My first, a Let's Play of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood originally for the PC Engine Super CD-ROM. This is just the introductory video, but after this, I'll post the videos in chunks so as to not take up too much room in the Blogosphere.

(Multiplayer is a series of Blog posts that focuses on gaming as a community and competitive activity. Centering in on specific aspects that many multiplayer games have in common, this article tries to search deep into gaming theory and philosophy.)

Here's the deal: I read A LOT of webcomics. I mean a LOT. It all started years ago when I found Bob and George (www.bobandgeorge.com, you'll never look at Mega Man the same way again), the first sprite comic, which also made sprite comics a rather popular medium for comic strips.

I love the Wii, and am an avid user. People who know me, know this. This is not to say, however, that I'm blind to its many problems. The graphics are not top notch, although in my opinion they are absolutely wonderful in some games, Mario Galaxy for example (If you haven't played that with HD support, do so Immediately). Also, the game library, while having some excellent titles, is still not quite so expansive yet.

Something I don't do often is do a full on review of a game. It's not really my style to be completely direct. As those who read my blogs know, I tend to do a whole lot of mini-reviews of games based on a topic.

In the last few years, remakes have been rather prevalent in gaming culture. Perhaps it's just because we're very far along into this gaming age, and those who are older like to see their favorites in bright, shiny new graphics with new features. It could also mean that companies are running out of ideas, and are turning to old games that were very popular, hoping they have kept the same sort of popularity.
However, that is a debate that can be waged for quite awhile. And honestly, I don't care too much. Because A.) I love these remakes, and B.) I'm just here to tell you about them!

Today, I'm not here to talk about games. I'm not going to talk about anything specific really. This is very different from my normal posts or conversation, because something extremely significant happened to me and someone I knew very well recently, so I just wanted to post a little something to convey my feelings.

It's time to take you guys back.
It's the early 90's, game consoles are still the Kings of Gaming, and computers are just finding their ways into the homes of Mr. Average American.
PC games exist, but they have yet to reach a fever pitch yet.
Then, in 1992, a game called Wolfenstein 3D is released by a company called id Software. This isn't their first game, or first popular game either, as they also made the Commander Keen games as well. However, id made their name with Wolfenstein 3D.

Back in 1996, just a few weeks before the Nintendo 64 was released, we saw a little game called Kirby Super Star. Now, this was the first Kirby game I had ever played at the time...and I tell ya, what a start to that series it was. It's still the best Kirby game ever made!

Hey there g1's. Here's a new Blog Series of mine that was inspired when I started to hook up my old Consoles for another spin. Today I finally got some cleaning done and cleared space for the old Nintendo 64, popped in Star Fox 64, one of my favorite games for the system, and found I still love the game a terrific amount! So, here we go!

It all started (at least in the US) with an early title in the DS Library: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. A game that was not shipped out in great numbers, as Nintendo didn't really believe that it would sell that well. However, within a few weeks time, you couldn't find this game AT ALL, ANYWHERE. What little was on the store shelves were gone soon enough, and the game became a Sleeper-Hit for the DS. Why is this series so popular, and why can't we get enough of it? Well, I'll try to find that out here today.

Yes I ripped off the title of a bad M. Night Shyamalan movie, I don't really care all that much. But bear with me here, as I take a fairly short, yet comprehensive look at 2 unrelated series of games.

Once again, I lied. I don't feel like writing about Remakes again, at least not for awhile. I've been thinking about this issue for a long, long time now though, so I wish to address it right here and now.

Yeah, I know, I said I'd do Remaking the Classics II next, but apparently I was lying. Just kidding of course, the fact is, I saw the new English trailer for Final Fantasy IV DS, and it got me thinking at how a single game can last this long in the flow of things and even be remade so much. So, here we go.

Hey there g1's, Serge here. Miss me? Heh, I'm just kidding around, but seriously, it's been awhile since I've done a blog post. Why? Well, it's been a busy time. But, I plan on getting the Blog back to full force! And to kick it off, I plan on looking in-depth at the Metroid series.

Hey g1's. I've been loving all the feedback you guys have been giving me on my blog posts. I'm listening and taking what you're saying into account. You can be sure that one of my future posts will be another Remaking the Classics post, and maybe I'll have some games you guys mentioned. But for now, I wanted to talk about a subject that a great many of you are familiar with: Video game fanbases. Enjoy!

Hey g1s, Serge.EXE here, and this time, instead of analysis or giving you info on my Project LiaG:TG, I'll be giving some Relationship advice that'll certainly be useful to those in the gaming crowd.
Take note that this is merely my method of choice. It may not work for you, the results are not guaranteed. But, if you're in the situation, give it a shot, and modify the process when necessary, and good luck!
