The Nintendo 3DS was an incredible handheld system that might've been a little ahead of its time. The world didn't quite know how to react to the new 3D format, but Cameron and Jake were a little underwhelmed. Which is crazy right? It was a glasses-free 3D display! Regardless, it was a freaking cool system with some of Nintendo's best games. Join us for some facts and stories, all t...

Fans were desperate for a Zelda that was a true sequel to Ocarina of Time. Sure, there was Majora's Mask and Wind Waker (and both rule), but they wanted something more. Enter Twilight, eight years after Ocarina; a gritty Zelda game full of darkness, demons, and a terrifying chicken lady! This Gamecube/Wii game was incredible, but was it too derivative of Ocarina of Time? This week, we're...

Bioshock  was so stinkin good, there's no way the sequel could possibly add up, right? WRONG! Bioshock 2 was so much better than it had any right to be. We're talking mega plasmid upgrades, larger environments to explore, and a deeper dive into the minds of some of Rapture's most disturbing enigmas, the Big Daddies and Little Sisters! Tune in to hear what we thought! Spoiler Alert:...

Portal is pretty darn good, but Portal 2 is an absolute perfect video game. Don't you even think about arguing with us!

Today we're bringing you some fun facts, but honestly, we're mostly just rambling about how much we...

Let's face it, the 360 was the best part of this generation of consoles. It had games on games on games. There had to be at least 360 games, but we're not sure on that. If only we didn't have to deal with the infamous red ring of death! This week, we're looking back to 2005. A magical year filled with 360 things to talk about. Sorry if using 360 like that isn't very funny,...
