Shadow of the…Cosplay?

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Something this awesome should come with a warning.  Here is one I have devised for all of you:
Warning:  This post contains pictures of a ridiculously awesome Shadow of the Colossus cosplay–a feat which, up until now, your neighborhood Gameologist thought impossible.  This, in a phrase, changes everything.  Those with weak hearts should not gaze upon [...]

Happy 9th Birthday, PS2!

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Sony’s PlayStation 2 turned nine years old on October 26th, and while I didn’t have the funds to throw a big office party, I thought I’d post here to relate some of my favorite PS2 memories and encourage you to post your own:
Kingdom Hearts: I still remember the commercials for this game, each featuring one [...]

In-Game Rewards for the ‘Ratchet and Clank’ Faithful

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

Ratchet and Clank were born after the age of the system mascot ended.  They knew, perhaps, that they would never ascend to the heights achieved by such giants as Mario, Sonic, or Crash Bandicoot.  Still, though, these two fought bravely through the last generation and have survived the jump to new technology.  Their newest title [...]

Netflix: All Your Consoles Are Belong To Us

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

I just got my free one-month of Netflix, and I couldn’t be more excited.  The little movie distributor that could has completely won me over.  Natalie, of course, has used the service for months; over time, she’s had access to a wide array of titles across multiple genres.  Now, it’s my turn to give Netflix [...]

An Old-School RPGer’s Journey Across the System Divide

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

More than any other genre, the RPG has always revered its elders.  The graybeards who created the swords-and-sorcery, number-crunching world of the modern RPG, and the ancients who enjoyed these first forays into the realm, are held in high esteem by newer converts.  I’m more than a mere acolyte, but even I must submit to [...]

Swapsies! Toys R Us to Offer Used Game Trade-Ins

Friday, September 11th, 2009

I’ve never really done too well with trade-in programs.  As a notorious pack rat, it takes some serious financial strain (or the release of a game I’m psyched to get my hands on) for me to even consider parting with my rickety old PS2 or GBA games.  Even then, they tend to be so riddled [...]

Shadow of the Colossus to Storm Big Screen

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Ology nation, I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news, and since I don’t know which order you prefer, I’m going to give you both at roughly the same time.
It looks like Sony Pictures plans to give Shadow of the Colossus the Hollywood treatment (good news)…in a film written by Legend of Chun-Li screenwriter [...]

WHY DIDN’T ANYONE PLAY PSYCHONAUTS?

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Here’s a confession up top: I never owned on XBox. While milling over what my next console purchase would be back in the heady days of 2001, I was firmly entrenched in the black-and-green camp until a little birdie named Grand Theft Auto III landed on my windowsill, and sang sweet melodies of sandbox [...]

Listology: 4 Old School Games I Will Never Play (again) On Hallucinogens

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

4. Mario Kart 64 – Nintendo 64
It’s not the fast paced and frantic action that gets ya, but just one level in particular: Rainbow Road. Yeah, you could just avoid it, but there’s something about that technicolor track that draws you in, moth to flame.

3. ToeJam & Earl – Sega Genesis
If you haven’t [...]
