We talk games.


Hate it when gamer t-shirts are a bit too geeky? I always have. That’s why I, ChuBoi, have started playrHater.com, a t-shirt store offering gaming tees of a more inconspicuous nature. Shirts that don’t scream “NERD SHIRT”, but are just nerdy enough for us in on the joke to get it. Now you can rep [...]


The Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition is easily the most epic collector’s set this side of the Halo 3: Cat Helmet Edition. In fact, it tops the H3:CHE considering that it comes with freakin’ night-vision goggles that you and your cat (or dog, for that matter) can wear. The Prestige Edition is so epic that [...]

Bringing the Arcade Home

Posted in Originals by MashedButtons


When Street Fighter IV was released 4 months ago there was a great deal of concern about what kind of controllers people would play the game on. Surely the 360 D-Pad, notorious for it’s lack of accuracy, would be the bane of all SF players. The PS controller, though slightly more accurate, was a mess [...]

PushingPlayThrough: MadWorld

Posted in Reviews by SuicideFLip


It seems bizarre that the savior of third party, “hardcore” gaming on Nintendo Wii could be an offering from Sega. While other games have tried, nothing has done as well as people had hoped. This doesn’t seem to have deterred Sega at all. From House of the Dead: Overkill setting the world record for most [...]

Since the release of the Wii, Nintendo has been plagued by criticism from hardcore gamers about their system’s decidedly lower resolution approach than Microsoft and Sony’s offerings, but Nintendo’s astronomical sales numbers are a testament to the fact that you don’t need to appease the hardcore gaming audience to be successful. For many people, the [...]


When was the last time you learned to play a game? Think about it. I don’t mean how you picked up Killzone 2 last week and had to get used to its slightly different controls, or learn the multiplayer maps. I’m talking about something entirely new to you. When did you learn to control a [...]


Don’t get me wrong guys, I love the Steam Community. I was ecstatic once the service launched and we were able to create groups, compare gameplay stats and achievements with our friends, and worship the almighty Steam Rating. However, the Steam Community has been out for some time and they haven’t changed that much beyond [...]

Ever since I finished Flower on Thursday night, I have been wondering how to talk about it. Made by thatgamecompany, creators of flOw, Flower has been described as “a video game version [...]

Final Entries for SF contest

Posted in Originals by MashedButtons


Yesterday was the final day for the ‘Show Us Your Hadoken‘ contest. These entries just barely made it in on time, but they are some of the most thought out entries we’ve gotten yet. Is it weird that I have the Flamenco ‘Ken’s Theme’ from the video above stuck in my head?
The winners will be [...]
