Tweet In Japan, Gundam is everywhere.  It’s literally impossible to walk two steps in Tokyo without encountering some sort of franchised product featuring the giant robot-themed series.  There are more Gundam console video games than versions of Madden or Call of Duty (by far), and they continue to...

Tweet My favorite RPG of last year was Xenoblade Chronicles.  Too bad it was never released in the States.  I guess Reggie’s body just wasn’t ready for it. Fortunately, Nintendo finally decided to announce the game for North America, and will be releasing it later this year to participating...

Tweet The Midwest is getting buried under the weight of major snow storms. Torrential rains and flooding are ravaging the northwest.  In Key West, Florida, the forecast for today is 78 and sunny. Just about everyone would like to get whisked away to a tropical paradise in the middle of winter. THQ hopes...

Tweet If you were to attempt to sum up this week in gaming, the phrase, “the sky is falling!” might readily come to mind.  Between SOPA blackout protests, THQ being rumored to be going tits up, and Star Wars: The Old Republic pulling re-subscription shenanigans, the team is going to have plenty...

Tweet If you’re reading this article hoping to find a release date for Diablo III, one of the most hotly anticipated games of 2012, allow me to let you down gently… An official release date has yet to be announced, but Blizzard claims to be in the final polishing stages of the game. They’re...

Tweet We take midnight launches for granted nowadays. Every time a major title rolls down the pipeline, players expect to line up at midnight at their local GameStop and prepare to hand over their $60, rain, shine, or hurricane. It’s not an exaggeration really. I’ve seen nearly 1,000 players...

Tweet This week is predominately dedicated to downloadable content. Several of last year’s biggest games are getting content updates. Rise of the Rakghouls is the first content update for the new MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic. Gears of War 3 is getting its third major content update with the Fenix...

Tweet Keri is back and in full effect, as the full cast reunites for the first time in 2012.  This epic drunken sloshfest is a throwback to the old days that will no doubt take you back to a simpler time, back before the vile scourge known as SOPA.  But the cast isn’t here to discuss politics, they...

Tweet First, take the physics-based puzzles of the LittleBigPlanet series and tighten up the controls to near-perfection. Then, add in three different characters with unique properties and diverse interactions with the environment.  Next, paint the game’s world in bright, vivid colors and add one of...

Tweet Firstly, it must be admitted that we don’t live in as awesome an era as we did in the late 90s, in regards to “extreme content.” Entertainment today must be politically correct, so everything goes through the PR department now. Things were different in the late 90s. In 1998, the NFL was...

Tweet The death of Pinball is one of the saddest events in gaming history. While no one can question the popularity of a pinball table, they never made much economical sense. The more a person played a pinball table, the less money that person would spend. A skilled player could dominate a table with only a...

Tweet We have some good news and some bad news.  First off the bad news: Keri is no longer with GamesAreEvil.com. Now for the good news: She loves us so much that she is going to continue as a regular co-host on the podcast! Whew, that was a major crisis averted. In her absence this week, the remaining...

Tweet I’m sort of known as the local “horder” amongst my group of friends. I collect video games and video game memorabilia, and I rarely sell my games after completing them. Walking into my game room can often feel like walking into a video game museum in many ways, but unlike most collectors I...
