The part that annoys me is that you have to go digging through the comments here to find a remark from a staffer that they didn’t review it, because they weren’t sent a copy. That should be somewhere in the actual article, then. Or hell, just run the A.V. Club review here as well.

As someone who’s 38, and thus an Internet Senior Citizen, this whole article was giving me flashbacks to reading Acts of Gord back in the day.

I recently had to play through a bunch of N64 games for a book project, and good lord - there are just soooo many crappy racing games on that platform. Plus, for every “Mario 64,” there’s a game with polygons and camera movement that makes you sick to your stomach practically. Many kudos to the streamer for finishing…

My wife and I had one as a rental once, and... it was not an especially pleasurable experience. It was struggling with the hills in the Berkshires, which isn’t flat farmland, but also isn’t Mt. Washington or the West Virginia hills either. It does seem like an odd vehicle without a clear audience, since the MPG is…

As someone who has sold plenty of old games on eBay, I can attest to Chris’ account here. I’ve never seen a true “eff this guy!” bidding war break out, but I’ve absolutely had some of my rarer items (Lunar games, Tactics Ogre, dot Hack) go up and up and up as two or three people decide they want it, and don’t want to…
