No new games this week, but I have uploaded a pair of videos going over each new game I came across over the last month or so. You should check…
You may have thought the Game Hunter was over, but you'd be wrong! I'm back and with a brand new episode that beginning collectors should find useful. When you think…
The Shin Megami Tensei franchise has been around for decades and includes a variety of roleplaying games such as the Devil Survivor and the popular Persona hits, with each series being a branch of the same universe. Regardless of the series there are several common themes that shine through in each game, including fighting with and against demons, a mature setting, and story-driven gameplay. The newest game, Shin Megami Tensei IV on the 3DS, has elements that will please many different types of gamers. (more…)
It’s easy to write off Project X Zone as nothing but fan service. After all, it is a crossover game featuring characters from several Capcom, Sega, and Namco Bandai franchises. But beyond the flashy moves and familiar setting there’s a strategy RPG that will appeal to fans of the genre as well.
For starters, many popular characters from each company’s most known series’ make appearances in the game. Capcom is represented by the likes of Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter, Arthur from Ghosts ‘n Goblins, and Dante from the Devil May Cry series, just to name a few. Tekken’s Jin and Xenosaga’s KOS-MOS are among the representatives from Namco Bandai’s flock, and Ulala from Space Channel 5 and Zephyr and Leanne from Resonance of Fate make appearances for Sega.

A trip back to Indiana for a wedding yielded great benefits for my collection. A trip to the local game store in Michigan City, followed by a visit to the oh so lucrative Disc Replay in Merrillville meant plenty of games were found in this the end of July. Oh, and a game from GameStop thrown in for good measure!!
Well this was unexpected... Last week, Tuesday July 23rd to be exact, marked the two year anniversary of Slick Gaming. It wasn't unexpected in that I didn't think I'd make…
Two new stores to find retro games! One store was brand new as of this week, and really isn’t a store. It’s more of just some guy that tacked on his game collection to an existing hobby game store. Nonetheless, there were a few titles there that caught my eye. The second store was a used music/movies/games store that I saw from the highway and decided to stop in and look around. Surprisingly there were games aplenty at this place, including a Dreamcast game of all things! Well, let’s get this thing underway!
Mat was too busy hanging out with Puff Daddy to drop in on our latest Podcast, so Jett and I winged it by ourselves. What did we talk about? Street…
Only in Animal Crossing could I be excited about planting a banana tree, or catching a rare butterfly, or paying off the loan for the second story addition on my house… or fear the omnipresence of an anthropomorphic raccoon.
With every new platform since the GameCube, Nintendo has released a version of the life simulator game Animal Crossing. The trend continues with the latest release on the 3DS, Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Although the collecting and repetition is still present, a handful of additions make this iteration stand out.

Last Thursday was my birthday, and as such I received a few games from family members as gifts (as well as treated myself to a small something). I feel like being a game collector makes things a lot easier on those seeking to give me a present: you pretty much can’t go wrong buying a game or, better yet, gift card. Outside of the birthday happenings, a new game came in for review that I’m anxious to get to, if only I could put down Animal Crossing: New Leaf for more than a minute to play it!
