It is obvious, to anyone that visits Pixel Perfect Gaming, that we are bigtime gamers here. While games are important to us, we do read stuff too, both online and off (as in hard copy). That is the purpose of this column, to bring to your attention, our readers, various magazines that we read here at PPG. Some are online only, no print edition available, and some are in print, available on thei... more.

Majesco Entertainment has just released the newest Serious Sam game, this one getting the HD treatment from modern consoles, specifically the Xbox 360. Take on the evil alien scum Mental and blow him/it to smithereens along with the many thousands of enemies that stand between you and him/it.  If you like First Person Shooters and just want to blow stuff up, here is your game.  Don't worry, t... more.

Serious Sam: The First Encounter from Croteam was originally available on PC but was ported over to Xbox (the original) and even though that happened so many years ago (on PC SS hit in March of 2001), SS:TFE has lost nothing in the interim. The frantic action is still amazing, the graphics are still great, the sounds really help create an atmosphere that will make you jump as you hear in the dist... more.

Capcom is doing something rather cool (or cheap, depending on your level of cynicism) with the box art for Final Fight Double Impact (announced here) in that they are letting the fans color it.  This not a simple coloring contest, much like stores used to put on around the late 80's (who remembers those?), the winner here gets more than a $5 gift certificate, how about a free trip to New Orleans?... more.

Gaming podcasts are a dime a dozen, retro gaming podcasts are slightly more rare.  Retro gaming podcasts that deal with actual retro content (Xbox and PS2 are not retro, sorry) are extremely rare.  That is where The Retro League shines and stands head and shoulders above their competition in this slightly clouded genre of podcasting. The Retro League features the antics and commentary of 5 diff... more.

Konami has just released Castlevania Rebirth on WiiWare for 1,000 Wii Points.  Rebirth is a re-imagining of Castlevania Adventure, an original Gameboy title released in 1989 (the graphics have been suitably updated).  This is also a first for Castlevania as it is the first title in the series to be exclusively available through download (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was made available for ... more.

Atlus has just confirmed that Metal SlugXX is definitely coming to North American PSP systems on February 23rd, 2010 (previously we didnt' know when the US release would happen). Metal SlugXX will feature 6 characters (one more purchasable from PSN for $0.99) going up against 7 levels of mayhem and action in the trademark MS sidescroll style.  New to XX is "Combat School" which gives players a... more.

Here is an interesting little "historical" video for the game, Dark Void Zero that is coming to the Nintendo DSiWare service sometime this month. For those that are waiting for Dark Void to come out on PC, we have gotten the specs for that version, get ready, many will probably need to upgrade to enjoy it on the 19th. Minimum Spec OS Windows Vista®/XP Processor Intel 2.4Ghz or AM... more.

How many people remember the Full Motion Video (FMV) games from the early to mid 90's?  Remember the limiting gameplay they had, the laughable graphics (at least on consoles like the Turbo Grafx-16 and Sega CD, though on PC they were pretty clear and looking good at least)?  In arcades there were quite a few of these games, one company made a career pretty much from these type of games, American... more.
