More Atari, Famicom, and SNES games on Re:Retro

If you’re a regular visitor of this blog and the rest of the Video Games Channel of b5media, then you probably already know why I’ve been gone for almost a week. If not, well, here’s a short explanation (which I also posted on my other b5media blog, MMOtaku):

Happy Birthday Sonic!

That’s right, today is Sonic the Hedgehog’s 15th anniversary!
I can’t believe it’s been 15 whole years since I first played Sonic the Hedgehog on my trusty old Mega Drive.
We’d picked up a copy of Mean Machines (before it became Mean Machines Sega) and saw the review of Sonic’s console debut. The buzz surrounding the game […]

What on Earth is this?

What’s that? A redesign on the cards? A better Re:Retro?
Whatever next?!
I’m not sure when it’s happening, but I’ve nearly finished the template… Once I’ve got the go ahead I’ll drop the new skin on this blizzog (blizog?)… I’m also mentioning it because I really like that picture :o)
Stick around and maybe you will experience the […]

What took them so long? If they were still selling thousands of them then fair enough, but what with the PS3’s release in the not so distant future, and […]

New blog: Games Industry Wire!

Aww yeah! It’s time once again to welcome another blog to the b5 media games channel.
Games Industry Wire is a blog written by our newest games blogger Justin Tippins and it concerns, oddly enough, the games industry itself rather than the games it produces…

I want to cover the things that will enhance a gamer’s gaming environment while throwing in some things that could be thought of as a gamer’s HGTV. :)

Digging Pong…

Click to enlarge…
I wouldn’t normally make a post like this, but this is still a new blog (less than a month old) and a story I posted earlier has made the front page of Digg by proxy… I’m just so pleased with the whole thing that not only could I not do anything other than […]

Mega Drive vs. Genesis

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now. Which name should I use for the Mega Drive/Genesis?
Of course it won’t make sense to use the two interchangeably, so I’ve to pick one and stick to it.
It may not be a secret to you that I’m in the UK, so it was of course the […]
