Based in Stockholm, Sweden, the game developer Grin has finished work on Bionic Commando Rearmed and is in the final stages of testing the original next-gen title for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC titled Bionic Commando.  
 
While it should come as no surprise that the creative director and sound composer of Bionic [...]

Young'uns might not remember handheld LCD games, but before the Game Boy these crude devices were handheld gaming. Tiger Electronics was the king of licensing franchises like Ninja Gaiden and Mega Man only to butcher them into rudimentary diversions with static backgrounds. However, LCD games haven’t completely gone the way of the dodo. They still [...]

The Final Fantasy VII Famicom bootleg got a notable amount of attention and rightfully so since it Cloud is in it. Even though Titanic raked in over a billion at the box office only Insert Credit is linking to a post about a bootleg game based on the sappy love story. I have [...]

So a friend of mine decided to sell his Super Famicom with none other than Miyamoto's autograph on eBay. First I begged him not to sell it, then I begged him to sell it to me. He agreed, but what it's worth I can't afford. I'm trying to find a way to get to [...]

I can’t see much personal use for the line of RetroDuo consoles since all my old consoles work, but there is some novelty in having the “Gen-X” a third party hybrid that plays Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis games. Remember when the two companies were mortal enemies?
 
There are two other models of the [...]

When I went into Gamestop earlier in the week to pick up my usual helping of games, I was looking at the DS wall and found quite a surprise: a new Gamestop exclusive game called Impossible Mission!  I always love seeing exclusive titles and I hadn't heard of this release.  I recognized the name [...]

Yujin is releasing a sweet set of ships from classic shmups. You can get the Vic Viper 301 from Gradius, the Silver Hawk from Darius Gaiden or my favorite the Arrowhead from R-Type with a force. I italicized can because these are gashapon toys, you won’t know what you get until open them up. However, [...]
