As the battle against winter ‘10 rages on here in North America, I cannot help but be reminded of some of my favorite snow levels in video games, and how the weather here is nothing, comparatively. You will notice a good portion of these are platformers; please also note that there is some unwritten law that developers feel the need to put a snow level in every single platform game. Some games that I didn’t list but deserve honorable mention might include Metal Gear Solid, on the Alaskan military base. One could also include Contra, for that horrid level- you know which one. Splinter Cell Double Agent was a very sporadic game as far as graphics quality; the snow level was one particular high point. Rounding out the honorable mention list is SkiFree. Objective: to ski down an endless slope and avoid the obstacles. Sounds like the last week of life for us here in Indiana.

In lieu of my recent battle with the old H1N1, I have decided to compile a list of deadly viruses that could blow the swine flu off of this planet. I would like to see the CDC deal with any of these.

In order to celebrate Halloween this week, we have asked our staff to pick one game that really gets them in the Halloween spirit. My personal pick was Silent Hill, because Pyramid Head is one of the scariest, terrifying creatures I have ever seen. He is that one character that kept me leaning around while playing through, just waiting for him to come out of the shadows. I would have to say the Silent Hill games are the ones that creeped me out the most. Read on to find out what the rest of the staff choose for their favorite Halloween related or scary game. That one game that just screams Halloween, or gives them the creeps. You know… those games that make you glance over your shoulder late at night to make sure Pyramid Head isn’t lurking in the darkest corners of your home waiting to drag you away…

This week for my Randolist topic- I have scourged to the deepest depths of the internet to find 20 of the absolute coolest consoles that have been modified out, tricked out, and just flat-out changed to look more like an art piece.

On my hunt for things to fill up my imaginary 18-bedroom geek mansion, I came across several awesome coffee tables. I tried to keep the list mostly video game related- but I’m such a sucker for geeky/nerdy stuff I had to share them all.

This week for my random list of a few things to assure me that the geeks/nerds of the world are still alive and strong, I rounded up a couple of things I stumbled upon and found to be way cool. I know there are thousands of things out there for your home, but these are the ones I feel, as a gamer, that are super geeky/must haves for my eventual 18-bedroom castle I hope to one day own. (Also in this castle there will be an entire floor dedicated to being an arcade room, a beef jerky dispenser, and a full staff dressed as peasants from medieval times at all times- that’s another story though.) Here are my top 10 items of choice for this week, in no particular order.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors, 1993
Zombie Zombie Zombies Ate My Neighbors because they are an Evil Dead Zombie Nation of Horror Zombies from the Crypt who live Alone in the Dark waiting to get their Zombie Revenge on none other then myself via Flesh Feast (3D I might add). Surely, Doom shall prevail you say! Alas, a Corpse Killer arrives with his Beat Busters to rid me of this CarnEvil. One look and I see the Infected- the Dead Rising up and know it’s no longer Plants vs. Zombies. It’s Brandy vs. Zombies in The Land of the Dead. Little do they know I’ve got the Touch of the Dead…I am the Zombie Master and Zombie Wrangler. This is the Last Stand as I scream ‘Burn Zombie, Burn’ as they will all be Dead by Zombie- I am one of their own. This will be a Zombie Massacre and all will be Left 4 Dead. After all- I am the Resident Evil. +Continue Reading
As the fine folks in the Hollywood business continue to run out of new ideas for movies, they also continuously turn to our beloved video games in search of their latest victims. We’ve all seen them… movies such as Doom, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, Alone in the Dark, Street Fighter, and Super Mario Bros. The list of bad movies based on video games beats out the list of good ones by a long shot- especially since good ones don’t really exist. Here are few of the latest attempts by Hollywood to cross over into our world. +Continue Reading
In my never-ending quest to fill the giant open spaces of my life I call work, I decided to compile a list of video games guys who are b.a.mf.’s. By this I mean these guys probably couldn’t ever successfully have a girlfriend, can kill without losing sleep, or guys who should really pay a visit to some of the scum that are allowed to exist in this world. Just guys who you don’t want to mess with- ever.
This is a random list is in no order of importance, just who ever I come across first in my quest. And if any one cares to read, don’t take this super seriously… it’s just my opinion based on games I’ve played/seen.
