Street Fighter IV Busts Up Philly
My affinity for videogames, especially those of the fighting variety, is no secret. I’ve been known to throw down the gauntlet over every iteration of Smash Bros. since it’s inception (with no signs of slowing) and I’m prone to lecture people on the irreconcilable D-pad found on the Xbox 360 controllers, specifically due to it’s [...]
TheHacktory Presents GPS-A-Sketch
A lot of us geeks spent hours and hour (and hours) drawing things using an Etch-A-Sketch back in ye-old days of yore. Back when life was simpler, candy sweeter, and 16 bits was high tech. These days life is complicated (Wii? PS3? or both?) candy rots your teeth, and ‘millions of colors’ [...]
Portal Graffiti Spotted in Lancaster, Pa.
Someone out near the Chameleon Club in Lancaster is ruining plots left and right. In an art style reminiscent of the wall scribblings found within the game Portal itself, one gentleman (or gentle lady, for that matter) took it upon themselves to let the world know of GlaDOS’ lofty promises left unfulfilled. And though we’d [...]
Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People [Review]
If there is one thing I miss about today’s gaming market, it’s the classic point-and-click adventure. In what I like to refer to as their “Golden Age”, LucasArts published a wealth of games in this genre. Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis, and the absolutely beautiful, Stephen Spielberg produced, The [...]
Bionic Commando: Rearmed Has Exploding Heads [Review]
We here on Geekadelphia can appreciate that our readers don’t always want to sift through hundreds of lines of jargon to find out how we feel about a particular subject. Our pieces are short and to the point intentionally, though we do allow the occasional lengthy one to slip through. Well today you’re going to [...]
FOUND: 50 Cent’s Diamond-Encrusted Skull!
A little while ago here on Geek we posted a story about 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, the sequel to 50 Cent: Bulletproof (the million+ selling, and terrible, PS2/Xbox game). If you’ll allow us to drift back to that post a bit, we’ll recall the plot for said game:
“50 and G-Unit put on a [...]
World of Warcraft License Plates Instead of Bacon
I started to do yet another Bacon post today but opted to postpone it for tomorrow. Granted, it has to do with the fact that there are cooler things than Bacon to cover in a geek blog based in Philadelphia..such as a vanity license plate based on World of Warcraft.
More importantly, the license plate [...]
Handheld Super Nintendo Hack Has Us Salivating
It’s arguable that Ben Heckendorn has started a revolution. Known in the past for making some pretty outlandish mods, the folks over at BenHeck.com (including the man himself) are a serious driving force in the mod world. And today we can add one more crazy item to the list as one of the forum users [...]
Videogame Loot! Straight from Comic-con ‘08
Our friends over at the MTV Multiplayer Blog have been out in San Diego, scouring the show floor of the 2008 Comic-con to find all sorts of sweet new toys, er, miniature statues from all your favorite videogames. In case you weren’t aware, the unfortunately inoperable Lancer (better known as the “chainsaw gun”) from Gears [...]
Video: The Force Unleashed for the iPhone
The Force Unleashed for the iPhone makes me wish Apple restocks the 3G soon. (WTF @ Being sold out?! Seriously?) Our friends over at CrunchGear were able to whip up a quick video demonstration of this awesome game. At first glance it seems a little tough to fathom how a console game can [...]
