Back to the Future for the NES was the second game I ever owned, after the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt cartridge that came with the system. My friend’s older brother, Carl, told me it was awesome, so I asked for it for my birthday.
I don’t know if Carl actually believed that or if he was deliberately feeding bad info to a gullible ten year old. Either way, Back To The Future was definitely not a good game. It was what I had, though, so I played the heck out of it.

…at least until all the people in the beta learn how to play. Until then, I’m going to be guilty of getting mad at video games.
The beta doesn’t really come with a tutorial or a lot of instructions beyond the occasional tip, so the players haven’t figured out the bits like how to lock on to other people, or that workers can deposit supplies to outposts.

We got one of the 5,000 slots for the current round of the Fat Princess beta, because we’re just that important of an editorial voice for video games.
Ok, so we got it because we know someone who works at 1up.com. Same difference. We get to tell you about it either way.

For the second time, I’m going to have to amend my opinion of Resident Evil 5. I previously said once I was finished the plot, I’d probably be done with game for good.
Well, after we went back and did the game on co-op, completing the rock-punching silliness of the last boss, it unlocked Mercenaries mode. And Mercenaries is a lot of fun, maybe even more fun than the main game.

Patch days must be godsends for World of Warcraft blogs. When all the game servers are down for extended maintenance, what else is there to do but read about the game instead? (Yes, you could go outside, you wags. I did that already. It’s windy.)
In that vein, here’s a few more things being added to the world in today’s patch that we didn’t talk about last week, particularly the new achievements.
