Pimping Level-5It’s a bit early to tell, but there’s a definite chance that there may be a new kid on the RPG block. Square’s been around for almost 20 years (Starting waaaay back in 1987 for you kids that care) and truthfully, it’s been getting a little long in the tooth. Final Fantasy, while still [...]
Last Minute ArticleWell, it shouldn’t have been last minute, but it ended up being that way since I’d almost entirely forgotten about it. For some reason, some one from the local magazine Female wrote in and asked me if I’d be interested in doing an article for them based on my take on Valentine’s [...]

Xbox 360 & NauseaIt’s hard to decide whether to blame it on the food or the hype.This morning I went down with the rest of the GameAxis crew to see the big presentation to the press by Microsoft for the Xbox 360, which has already launched in North America and will launch in South East [...]
Dragon Quest VIII Weekend
So much for doing work.
Went off to visit the in-laws who had just come back from a trip to Maine. They brought back some gifts, one of which was this:SSX 3.An oldie but a peerless CLASSIC. One of the most fun games I have ever played in my life. [...]
