Jimmy Fallon Doesn’t Want You To Play These Games. With Good Reason.
Courtesy of Late Night’s Video Game Week, here we have a list of games Jimmy Fallon wants us to avoid. Personally, I’m convinced.
The Best Star Trek Game Ever Blends R-Type, Contra And Battletoads Into Retro Brilliance
From CineFix, the same folks that sorted out all the Iron Man / Mega Man confusion, comes this fantastic take on a retro-style Star Trek game that combines the best bits of various classics, including R-Type and Contra, into something your NES would never want removed from its cartridge slot.
Bakemonogatari Is An Amazingly Well-Directed Anime
As we’re coming up on the new anime season, I’ve been perusing the upcoming shows looking for what I should keep an eye on.

If Playing Animal Crossing Is As Boring As Watching The Movie, I’m Out
This past week saw the Western release of Animal Crossing: New Leaf for the 3DS. Despite having never played an Animal Crossing game myself — largely due to its part in the most heartbreaking gaming tale I have ever heard — I decided it would be fun to sit down and watch the 2006 Animal Crossing anime film.
