From Decks to Digital: Pokémon’s 20th Anniversary
When I found out that Pokémon was celebrating its 20th anniversary this past weekend, a flood of thoughts and memories flooded my brain. First thought: I’m an old bastard! OK, that is not a fair point to make. I’m the oldest member of the Digital Crack Network by a country mile, so I’m an old bastard whether Pokémon existed or not. But all of my memories of the series always result in my se...[Read More]

Rockstar and 2K have big plans for this year’s E3
Last year’s E3 was not all that impressive from 2K and Rockstar, and we’re still waiting on more information on Ken Levine’s next game, and confirmation for Red Dead Redemtion 2 would be nice too (hint hint). So far we know that Battleborn is releasing in May, Mafia III is coming (rumours say both April and summer) some time this year, and we’ll surely get the usual sports ...[Read More]

My accidental first encounter with Akuma!
This story is about my first accidental encounter with Akuma and my hope that I can recreate it soon. During the early to mid-90s, the best gameplay was still found at the local arcade. The SNES and Genesis had great arcade ports, but they were not as good as the real thing. For an authentic in-home arcade experience, the only options were an actual arcade cabinet, which would be hideously expensi...[Read More]

UFC 2 : Preview
Our review of EA’s first UFC game was apparently the lowest in the entire world (it’s not, but there you go). The 5/10 score caused irritation at the developer and that’s easy to understand. Having worked very hard for years only to have someone call your efforts “consistently mediocre” is clearly not something that is easily shaken off. But the score stands and it fe...[Read More]
