Kinect Sports: Season Two Review

Better luck next year.

I'm not really sure how they did it.

Kinect Sports Review Rewind

Good isn't always good enough.

As the owner of a brand new Kinect, I was somewhat surprised when I realized that Kinect Sports wasn't included. Being that it's clearly Microsoft's answer to Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort, it would only make sense to offer it to purchasers of the hands-off peripheral. Yet it's a game sold completely separate of the peripheral at full retail price. Because Microsoft has chosen to separate the game from the peripheral, they've forced Kinect Sports to stand as its own product.

The Nintendo 64 is 15 Years Old

Memories and some of my favorite games

Today is the 15th anniversary of the Nintendo 64 being released in the United States. It was the first console I got around launch time. My mother got me one from someone she worked with no longer than a month or so after it first came out. The N64 is a darling to Nintendo fans and to those who love games with a whimsical quality and an emphasis on multiplayer. I have a, shall we say, complicated impression of the Nintendo 64, but one that is shaped by great memories of playing great games with my friends.

Games I Love ... That Everyone Else Seems To Hate: Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

Do you hate this game? Shame on you.

I, like many gamers today, grew up with many video game mascots across the NES, SNES, and Genesis; however, none ever had the lasting impression that Banjo-Kazooie seemed to have. A dopey bear and a saucy bird are paired up in a world where an evil rhyming witch is trying to improve her appearance by swiping the bear's sister and using her in an evil experiment.
