Quick Thought On Ys

I’m pretty excited about Ys Book 1 & 2 coming out on the virtual console. I loved playing book one on my old 8088 XT computer. Unfortunately, I never did finish it all the way. Now I get to beat that one and play book 2 as well. Plus, it’s the really good TG-16 version […]

Nintendo hit the reset button

E3 Nintendo news was kind of a bust for the more “core gamer” that owns a Wii. With the “news” of Animal Crossing, Wii Sports Resort, and Wii Music, it seems like Nintendo has lost their perspective of what their fans want.
I think Nintendo has split their thinking when it comes to selling their products […]

Ok, who shot that blue shell?

I didn’t think I would be buying Mario Kart Wii at all, but Mrs. DarkKnight expressed interest when she found out we could play some of our friends on the WFC and have another game that people could enjoy when they come over too. So I went down to the local Best Buy and bought […]

I’m playing Trauma Center: Second Opinion and came upon this description on what I have to do to my “patient”.

Switch N Carry Nintendo DS Lite Case

Mrs. DarkKnight came home the other night from Target with a little surprise for me for my DS. It’s called the Switch N Carry case from Nintendo.

Now I remember why I don’t game often in Linux

Lately I’ve had the urge to play Rise of Nations. Yes it’s a Microsoft game, but I don’t really have a problem with their game department overall. But back to RON, I tried installing in Wine knowing that it probably wouldn’t work well but I had my fingers crossed anyways. As it turned out the […]

Super Mario Galaxy

    I can say that Super Mario Galaxy is the most fun in a Mario game I’ve had in a long time. Putting aside that I still play the classics from previous systems, I think the last time I’ve enjoyed Mario this much is back on Super Mario 64. Bloggers and reviewers were not kidding […]

I meant to post this on monday, but I forgot to go back and hit the post button. Silly me.
So Saturday morning came around and I got up to get ready to head out to the Mall of America with my family and the family that was staying with us and Mrs. DarkKnight told me […]

Happy Birthday Final Fantasy!

That’s right, today the popular Final Fantasy series is twenty years old! I highly recommend going to Game Trailers to watch their Final Fantasy retrospective. Just be warned, they give away huge spoilers in the plots.

The BFH

For those that listen to CGA Radio, you know that I’ve been playing Wind Waker on my Game Cube. I’ve been meaning to make a mention of this for a bit, but I keep forgetting. I recently got to the place in the game where you get the hammer. Now if you’re like me and […]
