Published on April 7, 2008 - 103 Comments

Almost everyone loves video games. From sports to fantasy adventure RPG, to about anything you can imagine, there are all sorts of games for any type of taste. Some games never get old: look at Mario, Final Fantasy, and the Legend of Zelda. Other games, however, should never have made their way out of the idea room. As a note: it’s amazing how many terrible games are out there. If you look at item 15, it’s hard to believe there are 14 games worse, and yet…

V-Tech Rampage (2007)
System: PC

Vtechrampage

On the shame level, this one is up there with “Custer’s Revenge.” This game is based on the Virginia Tech massacre, and the creator of the game said he did so “because it was funny.”

Published on March 30, 2008 - 140 Comments

The video game industry is often criticized for it’s inability to create positive female and minority stars in their games.

Jax

Jax Da

Jax, a cybernetically enhanced soldier in the Mortal Kombat games, is the first African-American character in the series.

When it began, Season Nine was going to be the final season of Friends but it soon became apparent that NBC didn’t want to bid a fond farewell to Friends just yet. Season nine followed Rachel through her early days of motherhood, while sorting out her personal life right from the opening episode.

Overall a good season, but logistically it failed when it came to the raw punchlines that Friends was so accustomed to nailing.
