You Cannot Get Rid of the PS2. It Will Continue to Go on in Sales

The Sega Dreamcast, the Nintendo Gamecube, that gaming console Apple released but no one bought, they all have gone the way of the dodo bird. No one is buying them except for video game collectors from second hand stores or booths at flea markets. However, one console is still being sold today and at a healthy number as well. Sony's Playstation 2 is still being sold well around the world. And while its numbers aren't as strong as its earlier days, it's enough to bring notice [...]

Hidden Gems for the PS2 like Godhand Are Coming the PSN

Kotaku gave us some great and unexpected news, as Sony has launched a campaign on the Playstation Network called "Only on PSN". This campaign will promote various genres of games like Move games, indie games, and rare PS2 games. When I heard about this, I was wondering what they deemed as "rare PS2 games".

Signs of Microsoft Moving Away from Japanese Market are Showing.

After years and years of promoting the Xbox 360 in Japan, Microsoft still only sells around 2,000 a week in the land of the rising sun. Last week, sales statistics showed that the XBox 360 was being outsold by Playstation 2 consoles. Mind boggling isn't it?

A little while ago, Kotaku reported the first screen captured images of a Biohazard (Resident Evil) revival in HD and that was all we heard about the re-release of the popular action-horror game until today.
Seen on Kotaku,a trailer was released for Biohazard: Revival Selection. While it was for a Japanese release, knowing Capcom and their knowledge of the west's love for horror action zombie-populated video games, it's likely they're going to released to North American and European audiences.
While the trailer is stunning, I must ask one thing [...]

Evil Ambassador Copiozo reflects on Mortal Kombat in his life.

For those of you who don't know, I'm 27 years old, meaning I was born in 1984. Mortal Kombat came out in about 1993 for the Sega Genesis & the SNES (It came out in arcades in 1992 but I didn't have access to it due to my rural Illinois town's arcade had zip). So doing the math, I was about nine years old when MK was reached to the masses via the consoles. I had the SNES version and my friend Tony had the Genesis version. We were hooked and [...]
