BreakmanX — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:00:00 +0000

The GameCube turns 25 this year. To celebrate, the whole crew got together to pick the best GameCube games of all time, and we agreed on almost nothing. Break makes the case for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Jess showed up with a list long enough to fill the whole episode, with Super [...]

NES Restoration: Resurrecting My Christmas 1988 Console

BreakmanX — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 22:00:00 +0000

This isn’t a thrift store find or an eBay rescue. It’s the exact NES I unboxed on Christmas morning 1988, the machine that started everything this site has ever been about. This is the NES restoration I owed it. The NES Restoration Plan It sat in storage since 2008. When I finally pulled it out, [...]

GameCube Retrospective: The Best Console Nobody Bought

BreakmanX — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 02:09:52 +0000

November 18, 2001. Five in the morning, a Target parking lot, coffee going cold in the car. I camped out with my girlfriend (now Breakwoman X) and Richie, who would go on to co-host The Game Show with me, all of us waiting on a purple cube with a handle. This GameCube retrospective is the [...]

Halo 2 Is The Most Important Video Game Launch For Me | Break’s Pick 2 | Halo 2 Launch Video 11.8.04

BreakmanX — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 02:43:21 +0000

I have quite the history with Halo. Making fun of it might have been the most important thing I did that first year of The Game Show. How did I go from making fun of it, to Halo 2 being the most important video game launch of all time for me? I cover it all, [...]

Mega Man 8 is the Best Mega Man No One Played

BreakmanX — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Mega Man 8 was poorly received during its initial release and only sold around 407,000 units, which is quite a drop from 1,510,000 for Mega Man 2. The 3D push at the time left it in the dust, but it has always been one of my absolute favorite games. The first episode of Break’s picks [...]

Hotline Miami Review

Anna Kerr — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 20:35:55 +0000

When I fired up Hotline Miami (PC) for a late night stream, I only knew to expect excellent music, for my ears were graced with two tracks at a local game shop early that day. My eyes were pleasantly assaulted over the next hour or so with neon bloodied walls, baddies heads vomited upon, and [...]

Journey Collector’s Edition Review

Anna Kerr — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:50:41 +0000

I am late to the Journey party, I know, but that hasn’t detracted from my experience. I picked up the Journey Collector’s Edition so I would have Thatgamecompany’s complete works on one disc, and I was not disappointed. My curiosity was peaked when I heard Journey’s soundtrack was the first video game nominated for a [...]

Lego City Undercover Review

Anna Kerr — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 03:49:25 +0000

In general I am a big fan of the Lego games; I nearly own them all and I always look forward to how they will improve their next title. With the Wii U starving for new games, there is no risk buying Lego City Undercover, especially at the $49.99 price point, but let me tell [...]

Tomb Raider Review

Anna Kerr — Sun, 24 Mar 2013 21:07:43 +0000

I recently completed Tomb Raider (XBOX 360), and I couldn’t have enjoyed my experience more. I have played a couple Tomb Raider games in the past on the PlayStation One and Dreamcast, but I was late to the crowd and wasn’t really in love with the games as much as I was with the idea/concept [...]

Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure

Katie Cottage — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:20:01 +0000

Some may yell “blasphemy!” when I tell them Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure (Xbox 360) is the first Spyro game I have ever played, but not all of us can keep up on gaming cred with a market full of wonderful games. I typically favor handhelds for gaming, but when I walked by a store display of [...]
