Square-Enix Throws Spikey Headed Hat into Cloud Gaming Arena
It is pretty obvious that I am a fan of free and cheap ways to play video games, so it should come as no surprise that I am interested in browser based games. Square-Enix (makers of Final Fantasy series, and probably other stuff but nobody really cares) has launched the Core Online service, a [...]

My Childhood is Dead: Nintendo Power magazine is finished
When I was 8 years old, the year was 1988. There was no internet, no message boards, no fan pages. You got your information about video games in one of two ways: word of mouth or video game magazines. I remember spending hot summer days on the front porch of my parent’s home in Middle [...]
