"Back when The Behemoth’s independent title Castle Crashers hit the XBLA more than two years ago, it was like peanut butter and chocolate. Seeing the artwork of Newgrounds.com artists paired with the beat-em-ups I grew up with brought a manly tear of joy to my eye back when it was released."

"Well ThumbPad readers, I was lucky enough to be sent to a Microsoft event this past week and I gotta tell you, it was pretty damn good. I got to see Halo: Reach in action as well as play a bit of the Firefight mode, see some Kinect being played before my eyes, as well as listen to Buzz Aldrin. What the second man on the moon was doing here to promote a video game I have no real idea... But I'm not complaining. It was an interesting night which I'll now tell you about and I took quite a few pi..."

"To be honest the only Castlevania game I ever played was Castlevania 64 back in the days on the good old Nintendo 64 when I was a child. Venturing through the mist of the first few levels brought fear to my body even though I was playing the game in the broad daylight.

So forgive me for saying that come Castlevania HD I was expecting no shortage of zombies, vampires, bats and frustrating gaming moments where all hope is lost and my controller just gets flung towards the TV, hoping this sh..."

OXCGN takes a look at the 3 big producers of cosoles and review their full iterations. The first one off the bat is of course the Xbox 360 series from the Core through to the new X360'S'.

A solid look at the highs and lows of the platform, with PS3 and Wii to follow in parts 2 and 3.

Yoshi's Story is a decent platformer for the younger crowd. Serious gamers, however, shouldn't even bother with the game. This title left a lot to be desired back when it was originally released for the Nintendo 64, so it should come as no surprise that the title doesn't hold up well these days.

"The latest video game inspired art series will focus on how a MMO might appear if it were set inside of the Mushroom Kingdom. In this case, we're just going to use World of Warcraft as a base for class types (afterall - if you understand what an MMO is then you're, most likely familiar with WoW)."

"It would be an irresponsible understatement to say that there was a great deal of mixed opinions spreading across the internet yesterday on the announcement that Microsoft would be bumping up the price of the Xbox Live Gold come November 1st by a scant $10. Despite those who have still not gotten over the immediate outrage and will continue screaming foul long after anyone has stopped caring, there's admittedly a fair amount of validity to their arguments."
