Man, oh man. Cable and I sure have a tricky relationship. I really like the guy’s style–the whole gun-toting badass from the future angle never really gets old. But he’s always confused me. When he showed up in my big old box o’ X-Men figures, back when I still watched the 90s cartoon on TV, [...]

I’m not sure I entirely understand Fat Princess as an experience, but I think that’s mostly the point. I do recognize, however, that it has one of the greatest titles in the history of video gaming.

The Beatles: Rock Band will soon be upon us, and we’ll know in a few days whether its sheer star power can rescue the music-games industry from its current doldrums.
