Pirhana Bites The Bullet
If there’s one thing an addiction to TV and video games has taught me, it’s that the sewers are a breeding ground for mutants. Lets look at the facts: Futurama – the sewers are home to all mutants (except Leila). Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – not only did the sewers […]
Sock em Who-Bots
Remember the old action toy/game Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots? No? It was essentially an old-school version of Robot Wars. Basically, you had your plastic boxing ring and you randomly hit a pair of buttons to punch and kick the opposing robot and hopefully know his head off – something […]
World of Ni-Craft

Boldly Go
I’ve long since given up playing Monopoly, partly due to the fact I haven’t won a game in 20 years and partially due to the tireless arguments surrounding who would be which piece. Imagine then the arguments then if Chuffy’s Boldly Go design were an actual version of Monopoly…each player […]
I Want You For Kombat
It’s tough to compete in fighting tournaments. There’s always a risk of breaking an important bone, having your spine ripped out, or having your arms pulled off before your opponent punts your head off like a soccer ball. It’s even more intimidating when the fate of Earthrealm hangs in the […]

Koopa Country
Comparisons between Super Mario Bros and Hunter S. Thompson’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” were inevitable.

Old Boy
What with all the new gaming consoles on the market these days, one must pay their respects to the classic consoles that paved the way. “Old Boy” pays homage to Nintendo’s classic Gameboy. It may have had a green monochrome back-lit screen and chunky 8-bit graphics, but this old boy […]
Stormtroopa
When all the bombs, bullets and tortoise shells in the world cannot stop a short stumpy plumber from rescuing a princess and dismantling an entire evil empire, it’s time to consider alternate solutions. Similarly, when all the Imperial forces, AT-ATs and stormtroopers in the empire cannot stop a mere farmboy […]
My Preciouses?
We wants it, we needs it. Must have the preciouses. He stole it from us. Sneaky little Robotnikses. Wicked, tricksy, false! Gollum, Gollum. Forgotten in the long years since his glory days, hidden under the shadow or more popular gaming consoles, Sonic the Hedgehog’s incessant need to collect rings consumed […]
Money Power Woman
