  • TAKE THAT! Phoenix Wright to Destroy All Marvel Superheroes

    Zach Rich may not be happy about it, but Capcom recently announced that they're working on what is ostensibly the Super Street Fighter II Turbo edition of Marvel vs. Capcom 3—you know, a "new" versi

  • [NSFW] … of the Month: Unsexy

    I thought to write an article chastising you all for being such terrible, terrible people for what I now refer to simply as W.C. 2011, but a few things have happened that have set me on a different course. One, it’s been months since that tragedy, and, as with any months-old tragedy, I’ve mostly forgotten about it. Two, I have something much more future-relevant I’d like to talk about.

  • You Blew It: Mega Man Legends 3 Canceled

    Way to go. YOU were given the reins to co-develop the latest entry into the Mega Man Legends 3 franchise, and you completely blew it. Where did you go wrong? I don't know—maybe it was your "idea" th

  • Poor Player’s Paradise: Free-to-Play Extravaganza!

    It has been a furry long time since I last reviewed a game with an anthropomorphic main character, and I guess that's because they are a guilty pleasure of mine—the games, not the anthropomorphic la

  • Gamer Girlfriend: Clash of the Titans

    It sucks to be a low-level character in D&D. Sad, but true. Your hit points are crap, you have no money or magic items, and your most impressive spells do exactly 1d3 points of damage per casting. I mean, OK, it’s not like the challenge ratings of the monsters you’re fighting are very high either, but still. Best-case scenario, your character is kind of a weakling but still gets a decent hit or two in per encounter. Worst case scenario, he’s completely useless (seriously, try playing a Level 1 Monk sometime and see how much you like being the only person in the party who can’t hold a weapon properly).
