Another one of my reviews went up over at Game Sugar. It’s for a little NIS game called *draws in breath*… Z.H.P.: The Unlosing Ranger Vs. Darkdeath Evilman for the PSP. It was actually one of the best new games I played all last year (fuck the haters, Final Fantasy 13 is unquestionably #1 with [...]

Another year is nearly at an end. This is the third anniversary (minus a day or two) of this site, and it was a good year for Video Games Are Rad; readership has doubled again for the third year straight, and I couldn’t be happier. In fact, the page views for December 2010 are nearly [...]
New Games?(!)

I am without a doubt a “retro” (for lack of a better term) game collector and player, but I do play some new games. I am especially fond of my PS3, PSP, and DS. I mostly play RPGs for these newer consoles, and I also write about them occasionally. I do my new game writing [...]

Christmas always makes me want to gush about the Famicom and how awesome it is, so this year I thought i would make it official. Starting on Dec. 2nd I will begin the 12 Days of Famicom. ‘What is that?’ you may be asking yourself. During the 12 Days of Famicom I will be posting [...]
Search Feature Added!
Posted in News and Updates, tagged retro, search, update, video games, video games are rad on September 17, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I added a search feature (in the right most column, just above the archives) because the three years worth of posts (and counting) are really starting to add up and it can be hard to find a specific article short of back tracking through dozens upon dozens of pages. As for future news, the cold [...]

Hey, I just thought I would let you know that some updates are coming by the end of this week, including a new Final Fantasy related list, so check back for that. Why Final Fantasy related, you may ask? Well, today is March 9th, 2010. Final Fantasy 13 was released today. Of course, me being [...]

Long time, no update. I can report that the new video game room in the new house is nearly finished being put together, and I will have some pictures of it very soon, hopefully by the weekend. Now that life is back to an almost normal state, I can start posting again regularly. I thought [...]
Policenauts English Patch is Out!
Posted in News and Updates on August 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The fan made English translation patch of Hideo Kojima’s Japan only, multiplatform classic Policenauts has finally been released. The patch was the labour of love by the kids over at Policenauts.net, and it has literally been years in the making. I have never played this game (as I do not speak Japanese), but Policenauts is [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates this month, but my wife and I are in the process of purchasing a house. Finally! We have been looking since November of last year, but in the past couple years the housing market in my city has absolutely exploded, and the recession hasn’t even touched my home province, [...]
