It’s About Damn Time
The recent news of Microsoft’s new Xbox 360 stirs up some old memories…
Last weekend, a yearly event was held in the City of Coughing Angels. In the land of L.A., gamers from all around either flocked to the video game Mecca that is E3, or drooled over every second of media coverage they could get their cheeto-stained fingers on. Microsoft went balls-to-the-wall, announcing among many exciting things, their new Xbox 360, proclaiming the wonders of their majestic new machine. The audience ooh-ed and awed over an incredible, sleek new design that would make Darth Vader smile. But what matters is what’s under the hood.

KINECT KONFUSION
Firstliest of all, yes. That is the intended spelling for the device. And stop calling it the “KINE-ect”, for though that may be phonetically correct, it is improper. “KIN-ect” is its God-given name.

I remember how happy I was when my girlfriend surprised me and brought home a SNES out of nowhere. I remember how happy I was when I grabbed a copy of Super Mario World off eBay for five bucks. I remember making it to Lemmy’s Castle and spending the next hour of my life using four letter words like they were commas.

The first WWF game from AKI. Set the standard which AKI would surpass with WWF No Mercy. Better than Warzone and Attitude combined.

As a lifelong fan of both video games and wrestling, I would like to ask that you make WWE or even TNA wrestling games again. While a fan of Yukes and the Smackdown series, it’s clear that the level of quality established in your previous titles will not be surpassed. As an owner of the Nintendo 64, wrestling games were my favorite.

That’s a picture of Method Man heading back to his dresser after the show, high out of his mind. And who is that behind him? Redman, you say? No, not even close. That’s Rasheed Wallace from the Celtics. His teammates were across the street at the Staple Center practicing basketball. And why were they practicing, you ask? Because while Mr. Rasheed was enjoying day 2 of E3, Game 7 of the NBA Finals was one day away. Would Rasheed’s lack of work ethic impact both him and me? Only time would tell.

Snake sure love's his RPGs
Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker Review
I’m just going to start this thing by spelling it out: This game is up there with MGS3 and MGS1 as the best in the series, yeah, that’s right, those are the best in the series, you heard it here first, anybody who says otherwise is just plain wrong.

One of the really cool things about the showroom floor was that you never knew what you might run into. For example, that floating thing in the middle of this picture is a flying helicopter that is controlled by an iPhone. Pretty sweet.

When I started playing video games I was just a wee lad, no bigger than the boy racing next to me in the picture above (totally destroyed him, by the way). Anyways, the reason I included this picture as my headliner as opposed to say one with Microsoft’s Kinect, or Sony’s Move, is because I feel this picture captures the true power of video gaming. The power to lose yourself to an alternate reality where anything is possible. Actually, that’s a lie. I just think the image of a grown man riding on something made for a kid is just hilarious. Comedy genius, really.

Every now and then, a browser game breaks through the mediocrity around it and stands out as something well worth your time. Transformice is one such title, merely looking at its home page will cause it to grab you by the hand and drag you into the mire of insanity in which it resides.
