Sadly, only CSI and CSI: Miami are on Hulu right now, no CSI: NY or CSI: Cyber. I only watched three episodes of Cyber as it aired, but they were among the best farcical comedy I've seen on television in recent history. James Van Der Beek's character is introduced playing a light gun game at a boardwalk arcade which…

I always forget about Humble Monthly. I've been a subscriber from the start and I've never been super excited about it (but then, I pretty much never have time to sink into a whole new PC game, I'm just amassing a library now for when I eventually become irrelevant and have nothing but free time). Looking over my…

I think we have an unwritten rule of one song per game, so the tougher question is which MadWorld song?
The succubus anthem "You Don't Know Me" ("Independent chick with my nine strapped to my hip")?
The monster movie "Crazy" ("Don't step too close or else it's gonna be a mess when your chest explodes")?
Personally, I…

Good luck with that one! Maybe the next Let's Playlist should be "blood, sex, and swearing"-themed.

That Big The Cat game is legitimately amazing as a Sonic hack. Wow.

Dang, that's a really good idea. I love my ringtone (0:14-0:40 of David E. Sugar's "Ode To London Transport") but my phone is set to silent so much more often than otherwise that whenever I do hear it, I'm usually like "man, I love this song, where is it coming fr…OH RIGHT!"

I came back to "Rosalina In The Observatory" a lot while we were considering this list, but I just personally preferred the warmer tones of Galaxy 2. "Rosalina…" has a lovely Disney/ballroom atmosphere, but I was won over by the solo moments in "Starship Mario" where each of the voices gets their moment to stand out.…

Woah, woah, woah. I love my 3DS, but it never came close to having the varied, experimental, and third-party-friendly library the DS did. Wild titles like Feel The Magic, Hotel Dusk, Electroplankton, Elite Beat Agents, Space Invaders Extreme, Brain Age, Ghost Trick, The World Ends With You, Okamiden, Super Princess…

I think DrFlimFlam meant that the team at Intelligent Systems designed Awakening as though it were the final entry in the series because of waning interest and lagging sales. The unprecedented success of Awakening, however, lead to them getting to make the even more financially successful Fates and now an iOS/Android…

Limitless was probably the most pleasant surprise for me this television season. The pilot was fun enough to keep watching, but as the story progressed and the characters evolved, I just found myself completely charmed by this playful spin on the overdone Sherlock Holmes police procedural. I look forward to the next…

I, on the other hand, have played entirely too much of Sailor Moon Drops. It's one of my three games in heavy rotation on my iPhone as of late, alongside Miitomo and Marvel Puzzle Quest.

It's available on both the Wii U and 3DS Virtual Consoles (I bought the Wii U version to refresh myself before this article), and it supports four-player local multiplayer with only two Wii remotes (because only two teams compete at a time). Like thewayigetby said, though, it is infuriatingly hard. Get ready to mash…

Honestly, I was more of a Putt-Putt and Pajama Sam man. I was much too old for the games when they came out, but my little sister wasn't and we loved diving into those adventures together. I bought the complete Humongous Entertainment library when it was in a Humble Bundle last year but haven't gotten around to…

I saw that tease yesterday and was like "oh man, I wonder if they'll announce the same day my STIG runs…" Such a happy accident!

I had briefly considered writing about Freddi Fish, a series of edutainment games about a fish, and by association, schools of fish.

I drew them, and since I was also the author I didn't feel the need to include my name an extra time. I can't speak for A.V. Club policy on the matter, this was just my choice this time not to see my dumb name again.

AND Suzuki Bakuhatsu, one of the most fascinating time capsules of game design I've ever experienced first-hand.

This one is probably still my favorite:

It still worked after, no problem scanning into Smash Bros. Nintendo makes their toys to last.

It usually involves bourbon, the weirdest Japanese import games we can find, and inadvertently putting out at least one of our significant others. Thankfully we're past the "how many amiibo can Agnello stick in his mouth" phase, though his daughter might attempt to best his record.

The NYC contingent of Gameological staff were just discussing over drinks recently a shared fondness for Infinite Space, which was more handled by Nude Maker than Platinum directly. There's argument to be made that Anarchy Reigns and The Legend of Korra game weren't that hot, though.
