Impulse Purchase of the Week: The NES Classic Edition

Josh Zyber — Thu, 16 Aug 2018 12:00:46 +0000

I was in a Best Buy the other day shopping for something else when I spotted fresh stock of Nintendo’s NES Classic Edition gaming console on a shelf, marked at an attractive price. I’d passed this over during its initial release a couple years ago and regretted it. I hadn’t thought about it since, but...

Poll: Did You Get a Nintendo NES Classic Edition?

Josh Zyber — Tue, 18 Apr 2017 12:00:22 +0000

The NES Classic Edition gaming console has been such a huge hit that Nintendo has struggled to produce enough units to meet demand. Naturally, Nintendo being Nintendo, rather than build on this success, the company decided to discontinue the product entirely right at the height of its popularity. Were you able to get one? Do...

Tell us your favorites too! Adam Tyner (DVDTalk) Intellivision – ‘Burger Time’. I’m kind of old, so I grew...

The Best Videogame Analysis You’ll See Today

Dick Ward — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 14:00:04 +0000

I’ve been playing videogames for 25 years and reading about them for 23. I’ve been obsessed with them for most of my life, and I honestly didn’t think I could learn anything new. How wrong I was! Videogames are a fairly young medium. Because of this, they don’t often receive the same sort of criticism...

Videogames and Hip-Hop – Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together

Dick Ward — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 20:00:51 +0000

It doesn’t matter if you like rap or not; you absolutely have to hear Mega Ran. I was never a big hip-hop fan growing up. I think that being a white middle-class kid had something to do with it. I still kept trying in an effort to broaden my horizons, and found something to like...

Weekend Roundtable: Favorite Videogame of All Time

Dick tells me that he’d like a change from always discussing movies in the Roundtable. So this one is for him, and for all the gamers out there. Simple question: What’s your favorite videogame of all time? Any platform or system is fair game. Since Dick suggested the topic, we’ll let him lead things off....

Verily, Now Thou Art Playing with Power!

Josh Zyber — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 13:00:14 +0000

Here’s something silly to start off a Friday morning. While Dick is our resident gaming guru around here at The Bonus View, I’ve personally never much progressed beyond the old NES, which is still hooked up in my home theater and gets more use than my PS3. Now, the folks over at Comics Alliance have...

How Will I Get Any Work Done Ever Again?

Josh Zyber — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 16:00:31 +0000

OK, so this doesn’t have a lot to do with home theater, per se. I’m justifying it because “gaming” is allegedly a topic we’ll be covering here, and this is too freakin’ cool not to post. Some wonderful genius has recreated the entirety of the original NES ‘Super Mario Bros.’, but programmed it to be...
