Gamer’s University – Updated Mondays (at least)

Archive for the ‘Console Gaming’ category

Gooooood evening everybody, or good morning I suppose, since most of you will be reading this on Tuesday morning…
It’s been a while since I posted about Nintendo8, a site where you can play NES games (among other systems) in your browser using a simple Java applet, but I’ve recently found something even better.
There are a [...]

[Link] Old Grandma Hardcore

August 23rd, 2010

What would you do with an elderly woman who plays violent videogames and swears like a sailor at her television?
Video tape her and give her a website, duh.
For those of you who don’t know, Old Grandma Hardcore is NOT an adult website, but rather it is exactly what I have described above.
How could you not [...]

Happy hangover day, hope everyone had a fun 4th of July and didn’t burn anything down.
This is a little old, but they truly are terrible. It’s nice to see how far we’ve come since the minimum-wage voice acting of the PSX era. Even today’s worst games are usually better than these (exceptions of course for [...]

[Retro Review] Crystalis

June 28th, 2010

When I was but a wee lad, sometime in the early 90’s there was a new store that opened up in my hometown called Phar-Mor. It was not unlike your average Walgreens or CVS; a pharmacy with some essential grocery type goods. But Phar-Mor was something special. They had Nintendo rentals for 39 cents [...]

Secret of Mana Theater

May 10th, 2010

Anyone remember what the best game ever made for the SNES was?
Everyone has their personal opinion, but the correct answer is Secret of Mana. The Mana game before Mana games became largely flavorless and bad-looking.
There’s a special place in my heart for sprite comics, I used to enjoy a lot of them when I was [...]

Everything on this guy’s channel is pretty funny, but this one got me going the best. It’s short and sweet (that’s what she said)
Enjoy

[Tube Tuesday] Zelda II Rap

January 26th, 2010

Good morning, I have been thinking lately about additional segments to add to G.U. and here is one of them. Youtube Tuesday may stick around, maybe not. I’m gonna try it out. Anyway the point is there’s so much stuff out there (and not necessarily on YouTube) to watch that’s just fun and interesting regarding [...]

Insane Gaming Cupcakes

January 7th, 2010

Dragonkitty found this today on the interwebs. See if you can name all 100 games represented by these cupcakes, some of them are very easy, others are extremely abstract (seriously, if you guess the “Risk” one right away, you win.)
I got all but 14 of them. I had the most trouble with some the older [...]

Happy New Year!
Today I’m going to write a little about five 2009 releases that I got to play for a very short amount of time, not really enough for a full review but enough to give some (quick) first impressions about. Also it will help me feel like I made up for lost time.
Dragon Age [...]

A friend of mine told me told me via Twitter about this newfangled game called Borderlands that he’d been playing.
He described it as “exactly what I expected from a game billed as first person Diablo. Loot, quests, and co-op play.” And, having grown up with this person and knowing that we grew up with [...]
