Every once in a while we take a break from our REPLY TO ALL weekly discussions to instead have our writers point out something in the game industry that has captured their attention lately.

REPLY TO ALL: The Memories of Christmas Past
It’s been a ridiculous fall so far and it keeps getting worse. But enough about this year. What Mega Release Holidays Season or Seasons stand out to you the most? Whether it was a console release or just a killer combination of games, which years were the best years and why? JP (JPizzle151) I will always… Continue reading
REPLY TO ALL: What Time is It?
In this week’s REPLY TO ALL we get chronological. The past, present and future have all been featured as backgrounds of games, but everyone seems to prefer one over the other. What time period do you like your games set in and are their specific points or events in history that you’d like to se featured… Continue reading
REPLY TO ALL: No ThAAAnks
This week’s topic takes a different spin on upcoming titles. Are there any AAA titles that are otherwise really popular that you have absolutely zero interest in? Justin L (JDevL) Since I’m on a Nintendo tear lately, I’m going to go ahead and pick on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Unless by some sort… Continue reading
REPLY TO ALL: Your Stupid Accessories
We’ve all been suckered into a few great but mostly terrible accessories to enhance our favorite games. Where to even begin? Alex (streetalchemist) That’s an easy one. The gaming accessory I regret the most was the Reality Quest “Glove” controller for the original Playstation. This thing was awful. Sure it might have looked badass and made you… Continue reading

REPLY TO ALL: Misplaced Sidekicks
We’ve covered bosses and heroes before, so lets move on to sidekicks. Which “other characters” could actually be useful in other franchises? Maybe Tails is better suited in the Mario Kingdom? Ethan (Wizardtrain187) Tails would make the Mushroom Kingdom his b***h! The wide variety of familiars from Symphony of the Night pop into my head… Continue reading
REPLY TO ALL: Video Games Get Blamed Again
Brandon (H21) returns as we take the REPLY TO ALL to a serious level. The recent shooting in Norway has brought out the anti video game evangelists again, with the shooter claiming Modern Warfare 2 helped him train for the event. If confronted with that argument (murder simulators aiding lunatics), how would you defend games… Continue reading
REPLY TO ALL: Co-op Gaming with Significant Others to Save the World
This week’s REPLY TO ALL tries to involve our significant others into our gaming lives. If the fate of the world required you to play co-op with your significant other, what game would you choose and why? Be on the lookout for a special uninvited guest who drops the drunken hammer.

Here’s what has had our attention recently, good and bad, that is raising our voices over…. Continue reading
REPLY TO ALL: Beat Up the Beat Em Up
Last year we were really excited for the release of the Scott Pilgrim vs The World video game. Amazing art style, great soundtrack, and influenced by one of my favorite beat-em ups, River City Ransom. However, playing SPVTW was a bit of a chore, and let’s face it, that whole genre needs some help. Ever… Continue reading
REPLY TO ALL: Something About Exercise
Whether it is being light outside later in the day or school memories, summertime still has that “vacation” feel, including realizing that we really ought to go outside and play more and spend a little less time on the couch playing Galaga Legions DX (for example.) This week’s REPLY TO ALL asks: How do you balance gaming and getting some exercise?… Continue reading
