Cygnus Destroyer finishes his Wisdom Tree / Bible games reviews with Bible Adventures. This game is a classic I played the hell out of as a kid. Because of this, Cygnus Destroyer and I both have a huge fondness for this game. I have really enjoyed watching all his Wisdom Tree videos this month and found it a bit sad to watch his final one. He missed my absolute favoriate Wisdom Tree title Spiritual Warfare, so hopefully he comes back around and reviews it.

In a very interesting move, Sony will ship Playstation Streaming in Samsung TVs soon. Sony will be showing off the Samsung Playstation Streaming demos at CES next month, something I am interested in reading the reviews of. With the advent of Smart TVs, Googles newly minted Android TV, Playstation Streaming and possibly Steam what will TVs of the future not do?

Would you be interested in buying a TV that does everything by default? Is there any downside to a TV that does so much?

Google recently released the Nexus Player, a high powered Android set-top box. Sporting a Quad-Core 1.8GHZ Intel Atom Chip, 1G of RAM, 8G of storage, a nice bluetooth remote and a hefty 3D chip the Nexus Player is a steal at $100. The Operating Syste running on the Nexus Player is Android TV, a living room UI built on top of it's latest Android Lollipop. After using Android TV for the last few weeks I can safely say that Google has done a great job bringing this to market. The interface is intuitive, quick and useful and as a first iteration device, Google has done a fantastic job.

The Nexus Player is first and foremost meant to stream media to your TV. Up front,... Read All

Space! It’s dangerous out there.

December 12th marked the release of Starship Rubicon, a game that hundreds of Kickstarter backers have been waiting two and a half years for, as well as a slew of fans since who have had to make due with the teaser trailers. But Starship Rubicon is noteworthy for another reason: it's the first title published by Cheerful Ghost, marking a new endeavour not only to write about great games, but also to publish them.

After I dove in and experienced the game, from the difficult but not unfairly punishing combat, to the satisfying soundtrack by indie game musician Beatscribe, to the funny quips by the tutorial computer -- I was tickled pink.... Read All


Don't we all want to consume every video about the infamous Wisdom Tree NES games? Apparently I must and really enjoyed Cygnus Destroyers latest verdict on Sunday Funday. If you didn't know, Sunday Funday was a slightly less challenging reskin of Menace Beach. Since Cygnus Destroyer drop the details in his video I won't repeat much more here except to say, if you are interested in learning more about infamous NES classics, you should check the video.

I also just realized he uses the same pointing picture to title each of his YouTube videos. Not a huge complaint, just something I noticed.


The Humble Bundle community has helped provide funding for more than 50 charitable organizations, including Child's Play Charity, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American Red Cross, charity: water and Doctors Without Borders/MÊdecins Sans Frontières. These contributions have helped people with disabilities enjoy games, provided emergency medical aid, funded health care, brought books to schools in Africa, brought clean water to developing countries and much more.

"We never imagined after the first Humble Indie Bundle that we might one day reach this milestone," said John Graham, co-founder and COO of Humble Bundle. "It is hard to truly comprehend the magnitude... Read All


I thought i would touch on this subject since i'm currently playing through the game on N64, and share my opinion on the recent revamp of the classic for the newest Nintendo handheld.

In advance, my opinion is very biased for two reasons. One, i don't own a 3DS and will not buy one simply to play this game. Two, as one or two of you may know, i'm very involved in the collection, preservation, and of course playing of classic console games.

That being said, I think this remake will be pretty freakin cool, because Majora's Mask is one of my all time favorite games. Perhaps not as cool as the original though, because face it, it's the exact same game run through a filter... Read All


Valvetime has found a new Steam Controller design in the latest Steam beta client. From the Valvetime site:

"The new design, shown below, appears largely similar to the previous iteration and features an analogue stick, four main buttons, and two touch pads.

The most striking change from previous designs is the appearance of a four-point directional guide on the left touch pad. It's not entirely clear just yet how the four-point guide will be used or what it's main purpose is, but we'd imagine the left pad may now feature as a softer, more diverse alternative to the standard D-Pad by offering more directional input than just the standard four-points of motion.
"

I love... Read All
