PlayStation Plus continues to be the best value on the market. By this point, members have so many free games that they don’t have the space to keep them on hard drives. At least, that’s my issue with the amazing deals they drop. Not only…

On a fanciful whim, TechnoBuffalo’s Senior Gaming Editor Joey Davidson asked me, “Would you like to stare at a spreadsheet for 8 hours?” Well of course I said yes. But no, I wasn’t playing Disgaea. Instead, I was data-mining Wikipedia’s various lists of games by platform…

Giant Sparrow’s The Unfinished Swan turned a lot of heads at E3 this year as yet another one of those artsy experiences designed to counter balance the blood-lust that surrounds AAA gaming these days. Flower, Journey, Pixeljunk Eden; these hypnotic games are part of an ever growing trend designed…

Let me take a second to talk about my little corner of gaming heaven. Konami isn’t especially known for their RPGs; but, at one brief moment in their history, they found the creative genius to rival even Final Fantasy on the PlayStation. No exaggeration there,…

No, seriously. This is a game where Beagles eat Golden Retrievers, and a pack of yip-yapping Pomeranians can take down a mighty Japanese Tosa. All human life has vanished mysteriously from the world, and the vacated cities of their vast civilization remain a war zone for…

Oh dear, I guess every week PlayStation 2 Classic lineup can be loaded with the likes of Shinobi and God Hand, or we’d run out of great PS2 games pretty quickly. If the last duo of Natsume games from two weeks ago wasn’t enough for…

Underwater adventure! Challenging races of doom! Action combat that features murdering Free Wil–ahem, orca whales! Glorious papercraft that we assume caused a lot of mumbled cursing and gory bleeding for the folks at Different Tuna (the studio that made this game)! Launching October 9th on…

Feels like we’ve already done this dance once before, but there’s no harm in doing it twice. Grand Theft Auto III was already teased for a PlayStation 2 Classic release earlier in July, but it was pulled at the last second because of legal issues…

This week’s selection of PlayStation 2 games proves Sony might have to stretch the definition of “classic” every now and then. Not to say that they don’t have their fans though. Natsume is hitting us this week with a double-feature of RPG simulators, Harvest Moon:…

I know I’m weird when I admit this, but, for my money, I like the original Marvel vs. Capcom games that were only playable in the arcades more than Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Maybe I see those games through my rose-tinted lenses of nostalgia, but I…

Having played Okami when it launched for PlayStation 2 (and again when it saw a re-release for the Wii), the video Capcom decided to share tickled my nostalgia bone. This uninterrupted sequence of gameplay footage from the HD version of Okami takes place during the early portion…
