But, for a certainty, back then,
We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves…
Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
Whilst our laughter echoed,
Under cerulean skies…
 
So… I started playing Chrono Cross again a couple days ago, thinking that a game that moved me the way this did would be worth [...]

I hereby declare Majora’s Mask to officially be my favorite Zelda game, ever. I’ve just picked it up properly instead of just snooping into it, and it surpasses even Wind Waker for me. I had never even begun to imagine that the Zelda series was capable of creating such a dense, dark and oppressive atmosphere [...]

I can’t really pimp goat’s The Ice Beam Cometh enough. Alongside with Machinae Supremacy’s Sidology Episode 3 (56k unhappy, 10MB) this is pretty much one of the best video game music remixes I’ve heard. EVER. goat’s versions of the Brinstar tracks are fucking GLORIOUS.

The image is basically an image macro; the background is a - possibly [...]

Not only is Halloween in Germany often being celebrated similarly to the US nowadays, it also seems to have influence on the gaming industry: horror-themed games are being cranked out like crazy. To have something to show against the competition of F.E.A.R., Call of Cthulhu and Stubbs the Zombie, Midway released the latest installment [...]

16:31 <Morte> I wonder if I should fork out the cash for the full version of democracy
Actually related to this game, but seen out of context… brilliant.

Back to your regular programming: Baten Kaitos is pretty damn awesome. It has the gorgeous of Chrono Cross, but a far simpler battle system. I’d never have thought I might say this of a card-based battle system one day, but it’s one of the best turn-based combat systems I’ve seen.
Every character can be assigned a [...]

A not insignificant part of Half-Life 2 happens around - not quite on - a railroad track, but it usually has high walls and other impassable obstacles right next to it - putting Gordon in constant danger of being run over by the stuff that’s actually on the rails.
