Sam Nasser's Most Wanted - (USA)
Christmas is nearly here. Well, at least it will be in a month's time. Still, everyone I know has started shopping for the Yuletide season (in an effort to beat the holiday rush) - and I've already got several people already asking me what I want for Christmas (or at least, what I really want for Christmas that is within their budget :P). Nonetheless it doesn't hurt to tempt myself with thoughts that I'll get something I really want for Christmas this year - though I know that I did get wha

The House of the Dead: Overkill Wii - (USA)
Zombies are the in thing these days, and one series of games has always been popular for killing zombies and that’s House of the Dead. The HOTD series of games date back pretty far, about 13 years since the arcade version made it’s debut, and they are still playable today and still lots of fun. Along comes the Wii and light gun games are making a comeback, so of course there must be a new version of HOTD, this one though is what you would get if Quinten Tarantino created a video game, it’s not m

Narrative in Video Games - (USA)
Early last week I wrote a piece on video games as an Artistic Medium. Continuing in that vein, I want to discuss the use of narrative in Video Games. However, this time the discussion will revolve more around why the use of narrative is important in gaming, at least to me. What is Narrative? To properly start out this conversation we should define what narrative is. Once again I return to my good friend Webster: “The representation in art of an event or story.” I just discussed my

Video of The Grudge game slowly crawls towards you - (USA)
Does Resident Evil 5 have you thirsty for a game that’s actually scary? Have the recent detours in the Alone in the Dark and Silent Hill series left something to be desired, with your underpants a little too dry? Takashi Shimizu, the director of the or original Japanese Grudge movies (Ju-on), is hard at work on a Wii adaptation being called The Feel. For some chilling video of the hair raising game, click continue. This game is looking to be one of the first true survival horro

20 Classic PS1 Games We Want on PSN - (USA)
By Ravi Sinha The Playstation era represented a major paradigm shift in gaming. Not only were there more high-quality 3D games arriving for consoles, that too in CD-ROM form (something which only PCs were well known for), but the PS1 also represented the first major effort by a company to cater to mature gaming audiences. For all intents and purposes, Nintendo and Sega had their family friendly titles and hardcore franchises but neither represented even half the edgy or dark them

Scratching the Zombie Itch - Upcoming Undead Titles - (USA)
Tiring of Resident Evil 5 and how that Japanese person playing Sheva has endless ammo for every weapon? Has your interest in Left 4 Dead's new Survival Mode already decayed to chunks? Do you desire the ability to drop those wimpy ranged weapons, pick up a chainsaw, and just go to town? Well, fear not. An endless horde of face-gnawing undead titles is stumbling your way.

A Quick Look at the Remaining 2009 Science Fiction Movies - (USA)
I’m a big fan of anything and everything science fiction, and I’ll gladly admit that the movies I’m most excited for are usually from that genre. We’ve already seen a few great sci-fi flicks so far this year, like Monsters vs Aliens and Knowing, but there are a plenty more great ones yet to come. In fact, there are at least 14 more sci-fi movies still due out this year, including one that may just revolutionize cinema as we know it. The summer movie season finally kicks off in a few more weeks,

Now I’ve finally got my hands on it and yes, it’s pretty tense stuff. The game’s set in the future where Earth now gets its resources from a process called planet cracking. Big ships are sent to mine planets and use all the minerals back on Earth to make all sorts of cool stuff. One of thes

Ju-on: The Grudge Preview With XSEED Games - (USA)
Talk about scary games … “Silent Hill” has nothing on “Ju-on: The Grudge.” The developers at Feel Plus are pushing the limits of survival horror games, and making, what could very well be, the scariest game to be released on the Wii… ever. Based off of the movies from The Grudge ’s universe “Ju-on” looks to extend that fiction in a highly interactive manner, with a “haunted house simulator.” Check out what Unit found out about the game from XSEED’s Jimmy Soga, and just how scary it’s going to b

Review - Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Video Game) - (USA)
Published and Developed by Capcom. 2005 I can remember when I first saw the E3 videos for RESIDENT EVIL 4. Leon Kennedy was walking in a mansion when a humanoid apparition appeared before him, chasing him out of the room. While the first videos had their freaky moments, I still sighed. The concept of ghosts just doesn’t scream RESIDENT EVIL to me. My feelings were mirrored when this first was released. The enemies and bosses didn’t have the same feel as previous RE games. Hell, there technica

60+ Beautiful Logo Design Tutorials And Resources - (USA)
When we talk about a famous brand, the first thing that comes to mind is its logo . The logo is the most essential component of any personal brand and also the hardest part to execute. A logo must be appropriate, aesthetically pleasing and a reflection of the company’s credibility. Furthermore, a logotype should be synonymous with the company or product it represents and should penetrate people’s minds as a selling agent. An amateurish logo design can more likely make your business fail for a

5 Reasons iPhone Games Will Take Over The World! - (USA)
We know, Nintendo can do no wrong and the new DSi is selling like there’s a free Angelina Jolie in every box, but the real gaming powerhouse at the moment is not the camera-packing wonder, nor is it Sony’s powerful yet underappreciated Playstation Portable device - it’s the Apple iPhone . Those unimpressed by the iPhone’s lackluster initial App Store line up or the shonky Cro-Mag Rally need to remember, the European launch titles for the Playstation 2 were a physics simulator and arguably

Left 4 Dead Review: The Unrealized Realized - (USA)
Ideas are unrealized for spans of time, leaving some people in desolation and utter bewilderment of the unfounded realms of something so beautiful and unique. Zombie films have been around forever, along with the concept of horror and the concept of survival in video games that have long seen their effects through various games. Some worthy of recognition, others ill-founded and sadly not of the same caliber. Left 4 Dead is finally that game that dares to realize the unfound potential of an i

I realize its been awhile since the last installment of The Analog Gamer and there have been a few big changes in the tabletop gaming market – Wiz Kids, one time golden goat of the plastic collectible miniature market has been shuttered by its parent company Topps, Wizards of the Coast announced it was making substantial changes to the D&D miniature product line and miniature company Rackham SA (producer of sci-fi battler AT-43) disappeared into the dust.

Considering its experience with Wallace & Gromit, Strong Bad, and Sam & Max, Telltale Games pretty much has the whole monthly episodic release schedule down to a science at this point.

‘Second hand’ citizen? - (USA)
So, lets just get this out of the way first off, I trade yeah you heard me right ‘coz Im a player boyeeee. OK so I cant pull that off but what ever - the point remains that I trade/sell the games I am no longer playing or have got all I can out of. If I did not then I would buy about 4 games a year, maybe 5 at a push instead of the 10 - 12 that I usually do. Of that I would say 60% is 2nd hand the rest new.

Top Five ZOMBIE MOVIES! - (USA)
In the spirit of Halloween, I thought I’d tackle one of my absolute favorite topics ever. Zombies. In particular, zombie movies. Now, my taste isn’t squarely in the “horror” aspect of zombiedom. I’m a well rounded fan, but I enjoy humor a bit more than I enjoy oh-shit-turn-the-movie-off-I-can’t-watch-anymore grotesqueness. That being said, here are my top five … starting at the BOTTOM: #5 … Dead Alive! Peter Jackson before he was LOTR Peter Jackson. This movie has it all. Infected Rhesus Mo

Traumafessions :: Reader Va on Resident Evil (Video Game) - (USA)
So my childhood traumas consisted of the usual fair, including but not limited to: THE GATE , RETURN TO OZ , and the beginning scene in TROLL where the guy and his apartment are being turned into a plant? or mold? or mushrooms? That last one especially scared the crap out of me! However a very specific trauma, which no one seems to talk about, are video game traumas.
