The Nintendo GameCube: The Best Console Nobody Bought

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

The Nintendo GameCube never won its generation. It sold 21 million units to the PS2’s 155 million. By every commercial measure, it lost. So why do people who owned one still talk about it like it was the best console they ever had? This is the full story — the corporate desperation, the genius hardware, [...]

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 [...]

New Super Mario Bros. 2

BreakmanX — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 09:35:36 +0000

By now, you’ve heard. NSMB2 is bad and not original and all sorts of things that go bump in the night. Well, I’m here to tell you that if you own a 3DS or like 2d Maro games, this is a must and by far the best 2D Mario game since World 2 Yoshi’s Island, [...]

CS:GO Review

Andrew Allen — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 10:02:17 +0000

(UPDATE: The Mac crash issue I reported here when this review was posted seems to have ceased, at least over the past few days. Perhaps a stealth patch was enacted) If you love “Counter Strike,” then CS:GO is for you; if you don’t, then it isn’t. There isn’t really any other way to put it [...]
