• Exile trilogy (PC)

    (Editor's note: This article was originally published in the July 2009 issue of GameCola, back when GameCola was published in a monthly online magazine format.) Like the fabled Simpsons switch to HD,

  • Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 (PS2)

    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is a game that's almost as much fun as it hard to pronounce. Generally, I don't like fighting games. Well...mainly just Super Smash Bros. That game really stinks.

  • Gamer Girlfriend: The One Game I Will Never Play

    OK, so for anyone who knows me, it’s probably pretty apparent that the title of this article is something of a misnomer.

  • Mid-Boss: The Mid-Boss Summer Awards

    Ah, summer—Mid-Boss doesn’t know (or care) about you, but summer always puts him in the mood for some arbitrary award-giving. There’s been a lot of upheaval in the videogame industry since last July, and it’s time for some light-hearted, bias-free, non-hyperbolic recognition of the products of such upheaval.

  • Flash Flood: Mega Man Versus Everyone Else

    Duels to the death are dangerous.

  • Versus Mode: EGM’s Resurrection, Trophies, and More

    Max from GameLemon.com and Josiah Pisciotta from Chronic Logic discuss current events in gaming. Topics include EGM's pending resurrection, Trophies and Achievements, and more.
