Live Show: The GTFOMLG Show Episode 9.0

The Simpsons: Hit & Run (PS2) Tonight on The GTFOMLG show, we’ll be playing something a bit newer than most titles that we’ve played on the show: the ever-popularThe Simpsons: Hit & Run. It’s arguably the bestSimpsonsgame out there due to itsCrazy Taxi-like gameplay, the ability to freely explore most of Springfield, and a slew of Easter eggs and fan service. I’ll be taking this game for a drive for the first time in damn near ten years (holy crap, has it been THAT long already?...

Lost Planet action figure madness!

As I’m writing this, it’s entirely possible that there’s a copy ofLost Planetsitting at your local shop, just waiting for you to pick it up. Sure, it’s street dated for Friday the 12th; but some of the people that work at Target aren’t very bright, so you might want to take your chances. They’re also running a pretty good deal on twenty-pound bags of cat food. But anyhow … While you wait, I thought some of you might want to check out the neat littlepre-order itemGameStop/EB Games is giving away — a figure of one of the Virtual Suits (VS) from the game, thePTX-40A....

Mega Man homage Venture Kid launching soon as a Switch console exclusive

‘Soon’ I see folks constantly pining forMega Man-likes (a little less so now given that Capcom finally released the goodMega Man 11) andVenture Kidwas absolutely built with the NES series in mind. Featuring retro-centric platforming with more than a few direct homages (especially a Gemini-Man-esque stage aesthetic),Venture Kidis coming to Nintendo Switch as a “console exclusive” in the near future. Venture Kidwas actually released last year on Steam and mobile devices for $10 and $5 respectively....

Mega Man series seemingly not in trouble as Capcom reports ‘strong’ Mega Man 11 and X Legacy Collection sales

Phew For years I waited for aMega Manrevival, and Capcom delivered withMega Man 11. It wasn’t just nominal, either: I really enjoyed11and thought that it served as a great jumping off point for newcomers while simultaneously preserving what made the series so special in the first place. The thing is Capcom has been mostly nebulous on how it’s performed, until now. As part of their latest financial briefing “for the nine months ended June 29, 2025,” Capcom finally tells us what they think of the latestMega Manentries and the news seems promising....

Nintendo Download: Super Meat Boy

Also, Phantom Hourglass Having run the Nintendo Download column every Thursday for the past several years, I always think about how they could have handled this generation differently. Imagine if there was an “all you may eat” Virtual Console service that undercut Sony’s PlayStation Now, for a small fee? How many people would look into that and buy a Wii U or 3DS just for that reason? Why would Nintendo instead drip feed one or two classic games a month, tops, when that’s what they’re best at?...

Review in Progress: MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death

Ten hours of towers in the Compile Heart dungeon crawler If you would have told me at the beginning of this year that I’d be playing five games from Compile Heart, I’d had laughed. Before I actually sat down with one, I made a snap judgement about its games, thinking of them as childish or exploitative with little quality in its gameplay. For some of its titles, that’s probably a fair assessment, but it would be wrong to dismiss all games from Compile Heart with that description....
