She’s a pop star with a song on the billboard top 100 that claims be a rebel, oh boy! I first heard her song Tik Tok back in early January on the radio. At first, I thought it was a new Millionaires song. Then I realized it wasn’t nearly as raunchy or as dance-oriented. Unlike Read more...
PlayStation Home: Still Cool to Hate?
Written on December 24, 2009 at 3:27 am, by Andrew Eidson
I’ve begun to notice a trend regarding Playstation Home. Remember way back when in 2007 everyone hated on the PS3? There was definitely good reason to do so, but then it seemed like even after the PS3 was doing moderately successful, there were still tons of naysayers. It was programmed into their heads that “PS3 Read more...
Little Girl, or Hardcore Gamer?
Written on December 18, 2009 at 4:15 pm, by Andrew Eidson
Over the past few months, I’ve been collecting games and systems that are known to be for a younger demographic. Systems like the Mattel Hyperscan, Casio Loopy, and the Sega Pico have been victims of my curiosity for the duration of the past year or so.

Far From Perfect, But Close: New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Written on December 7, 2009 at 1:34 am, by Andrew Eidson
I was thoroughly impressed when I first played NSMB Wii at launch. However, this was definitely not an AAA game of the year title. No, not all was perfect in Mushroom Kingdom. For those of you expecting it to be just like the DS version, prepare to be a little disappointed. I would say it’s Read more...

With the recent release of New Moon into theaters the Twilight saga is back in people’s minds. The new movie brings a spark of excitement to its many fans, but its critics can do little to hide their disdain. I am quite aware of the criticisms of the series, and I wholeheartedly agree.

Synergy! Momentum! Expert! Guru! I keep seeing these sorts of words scattered about the internet by people and businesses alike. Do they even mean anything?

It seems that every blogger has the inevitable twitter entry. You know, the one where they talk about how helpful twitter is for their business and marketing strategies! This could be “that” article, but instead I’m going to describe how I utilize twitter in my every day life. So twitter is a microblogging service with Read more...
Why the iPhone will never be a legitimate gaming platform
Written on January 17, 2009 at 5:57 pm, by Andrew Eidson
I recently read an article about an application for the iPhone and iPod Touch that was similar to Duck Hunt. The game has been taken down due to licensing issues. You know, Nintendo owns the rights to this game. There is another application similar in nature to Duck Hunt still available on the iPod Touch Read more...
LittleBigPlanet Is Little and Big
Written on November 7, 2008 at 12:09 am, by Andrew Eidson
This game is one such title that needed much reflection before writing an impressions article. I’ve had this game since October 21st, about a week before the general public got their hands on it. It had been recalled due to an infamous track featuring lyrics from the Quran. So, while I had my hands on Read more...
