All reviewsBit.Trip Flux2011
4 out of 5 starsThe Nintendo Wii Shop is about to lose its only respectable game series: Bit.Trip. Since its debut in early 2009, Bit.Trip Beat , the series has been delivering incredible music and retro visuals to accompany zen like gameplay that most rhythm games lack. These games aren't just "good for a WiiWare game". Collectively, the first three Bit.Trip games was my 2009 game of the year. Yes, I loved Bit.Trip more than…
ModNation Racers2010
3 out of 5 starsReviewer's note: I realize this is a game from summer 2010, but there were a number of loading issues with this title that have been since patched. Also, I feel when dealing with a strong community oriented game, it's only fair to give it a few months to breathe. I feel those two things make it a different game than it was at release. ----- Something eventually will topple Mario Kart. I probably won't happen this…
Super Street Fighter IV
2 out of 5 starsIf I can explain Super Street Fighter IV briefly, it would be a very fun looking playground set, only with no building instructions and a large percentage of useless equipment. I've been playing videogames for over 20 years; and while I admit I do not have a competitive personality, I feel I'm well rounded and adaptive to many genres. The level of play gap is the fighting genre's greatest flaw, but I was lured in by…
Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon2010
3 out of 5 starsA game like Fragile could not have come at a better time. Last year, the the very landscape of Arkham Asylum captivated gamers with its detail and density. Silent Hill made a surprising comeback on the Wii with its new exploratory format. Fragile has been knocking on America's door for quite a while, touting its original environment of a ruined uninhabited Tokyo. Having a personal love for exploring abandoned…

All articlesOne last 2014 games wrap-up
Jan 20, 2015
Hello. I know we're ankle deep in 2015 already, but I really want to do another year wrap-up. I spent much more time writing about music in 2014 , so I'm a bit behind. I love writing about new music even more than games, so if you're interested at all, please have a look at that stuff too. thanks :) ANYWAYS... Like I've done for the past two years before, top tens have just become arbitrary. I'...
2013's "GOTY is cancelled" awards
Dec 27, 2013
THERE IS NO GAME OF THE YEAR I don't need to tell you how much of a crazy or bummer year it's been. What better time than now to push that "let's stop rating and ranking video games!" agenda? The definitions of "video game" are only getting more blurred. I cannot compare ten games to each other anymore! How do you compare Gone Home, BattleBlock Theater, and Outlast? Completely different experie...
The "I Only Played Nine New Games in 2012" Awards!
Dec 29, 2012
There is honestly no point in making a top ten of 2012 list this year. I haven't even played enough 2012 games to occupy a top ten list! I still want to write about the few experiences I had in 2012 though, because I feel they are relevant. So here is an arbitrary awards system entirely built around an excuse to write about games! Let’s face it, most end of year write-ups are. I’m just being tr...
"I Was Losing You All Along" - R.I.P. Lookout! Records
Jan 13, 2012
A significant chunk of my youth has curled up and died for good this week. I just read this from punknews.org , which they read from Ted Leo , that the iconic California pop-punk record label, Lookout! Records is out of business. Lookout! is probably best known for being the first home to a bunch of nobodies called Green Day. In the early ninetees, Green Day sold copies of their two Lookout! al...
New music pickups (April + May)
May 28, 2011
Hello again. Let's share what cool new music has come out in the past two months! ------------------------------- Songs from each release listed can be heard here ----------------------------------- Architecture in Helsinki - Moment Bends OK, wow. What an incredible disappointment this is. I know this band lost a lot of fans with their Tom Tom Club inspired Places Like This (2007), but I just f...
February + March music pickups
Apr 1, 2011
Hello again, citizens of Giant Bomb. In January, I did a music roundup post, and had fun with it, so I want to try and do it every month. Unluckily, February was rather barren, so I've combined it with March, which was an overload. A whole bunch of stuff came out this month, and this is only what I personally found… [first off, you can listen to a samples from all of these albums HERE!] Peter B...
