Super Mario controlled with a Dance Dance Pad — For those who have beaten NES Mario 1,000 times over

I’ve often heard that kids who are bored are kids that get in trouble. Not a kid Nick Hagman decided that yes, he was bored. And yes, he was going to beat Super Mario a 1,001st time. Except this time he’d be a bit more creative and not use the typical Nintendo controller. This crafty chap took it upon himself to configure a Dance Dance Pad to take over button mashing duties and make a now easy game inexplicably difficult once again. As Nick points on in...

Steam for Mac coming May 12th.

Steam for Mac coming May 12th.

Like a gaming session here or there but don’t fly with the Windows crowd? No worries. Gaming on Mac, while not as “high-end” as it’s windows counterpart, has made vast strides in the last few years. On May 12th, another great stride is being made — Steam will officially be released. If you’re not familiar with Steam, a simple explanation is this: They’re basically the iTunes of digital game sales/downloads. I myself have...

Did your iPhone just say “Hadouken?”

Damn straight it did! This by far is going to be the greatest iPhone game release ever! Late last night, the game was released, though it took a while for Apple App Store servers to list it, but I can say, as of 5.30am EST this morning, the game is live and in full Chun-Li effect!

Yet another reason to drop any and all type of DRM: Ubisoft’s draconian DRM servers crash, Assassins Creed 2 and the likes go silent.

To many people, bitching about a video game’s DRM that resorts to requiring a constant internet connection seems stupid and like a waste of time. In the grander scheme of things — it is. But, if you focus on the core technological aspect of it, DRM is not a solution but a “fuel” to the piracy fire, only driving scores more towards paying less and less for products and services. Ubisoft as of late has found out just how much the tech crowd hates DRM...

Battlefield: Bad Company 2, a slight review…

Battlefield: Bad Company 2, a slight review…

I know this probably doesn’t happen often on this site, but I just wanted to throw a little post up about DICE’s new addition to the Battlefield series, Battlefield: Bad Company 2. I’m not sure if many of you out there were able to get your hands on Bad Company 1, but it most certainly was one of the best multiplayer experiences I have ever had. To know a little about my gaming preference, I am almost strictly a FPS kinda guy, I do delve into some action...
