June snuck up on us. Luckily, looking at its release list it stands to be more of a time to catch up on games and soak in E3 announcements rather than pick up a lot of new games. However, there are a few big releases worth mentioning. We are going to highlight a few of… Continue reading

The Best Turn Based Strategy RPG You’ve Never Played
As I’ve gotten older, I have less time to sit down and play through 40 hours of RPG story lines. I can get into anything from sports titles to epic MMORPGs. Just like a great book, the games I find myself connecting with the most, are those that you don’t want to put down but… Continue reading
Giving In to Monster Hunter Tri
Monster Hunter Tri is the latest game in the RPG/MMO adventure series by Capcom that has quite literally taken over Japan. You are a hunter who sets out to gather resources, explore the world, and take down the biggest monsters that you can find. You, alone or with online with a group of hunters, will… Continue reading

To introduce myself, these days on the web I am generally referred to as Pixelmixer. My real name happens to be Dustin Sparks. During… Continue reading
No Hope for Kratos
Let’s get this out of the way. God of War 2 was the crowning achievement of my PS2 gaming days. I am a huge Kratos fan. I’m big enough fan of the niche of the action genre that GoW created, that I shelled out cash for the recent soulless knock-off, Dante’s Inferno. I held off… Continue reading
WTF is a Rondo?
Just to confirm, yes, it is that Castlevania game. The most critically acclaimed and impossible to obtain game (for U.S. gamers) in the series finally arrives via the Nintendo’s Virtual Console. I couldn’t believe I was actually about to (legally) play Castlevania: Rondo of Blood / Akumajo Dracula X: Chi no Rondo / Dracula X… Continue reading
