I happen to love the Sega CD dearly and hold a special place in my heart for it, but holy shit did it have some terrible commercials.  It’s a tough job marketing game consoles that have a maximum of 64 colors displayable simultaneously, but somebody’s gotta do it. Today I’m waxing nostalgic about my favorite full [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/5-awesomely-bad-sega-cd-commercials/feed/ 0 http://shezcrafti.com/rumor-is-rocksteady-working-on-a-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-game/ http://shezcrafti.com/rumor-is-rocksteady-working-on-a-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-game/#comments Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:16:38 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=2889
God I hope this is true: TDW Geek by way of Paul Gale is reporting that Rocksteady's next game is called The Manhattan Crisis... a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. If you've played the standout Batman: Arkham Asylum or its even more acclaimed sequel, Arkham City, I don't have to tell you how incredible this collaboration would be.]]> http://shezcrafti.com/rumor-is-rocksteady-working-on-a-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-game/feed/ 2 http://shezcrafti.com/atelier-meruru-the-apprentice-of-arland-trailer-sure-is-pretty/ http://shezcrafti.com/atelier-meruru-the-apprentice-of-arland-trailer-sure-is-pretty/#comments Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:36:22 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=2830
Let's gush over the cute new Atelier game! Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland, part three of Gust's Atelier trilogy, is currently being localized for western audiences and prepped for launch by NIS in North America and Europe this May.

If you’ve been reading here lately, you already know that I’m on a big Pinterest kick right now.  One of the things I love about Pinterest is how easily you can create and share curated lists about very specific topics.  Horror-themed adventure games, for example (talk about a niche within a niche).

Game Informer has the latest new screenshots from The Last of Us, Naughty Dog's upcoming survival horror action/adventure game, and they are absolutely breathtaking. It's hard to believe these are actual, in-game screenshots. It's clear that Naughty is really stepping up their game, pushing PS3's graphics processors to the limit.]]> http://shezcrafti.com/first-in-game-screenshots-of-the-last-of-us-are-beautiful-amazingly-detailed/feed/ 1 http://shezcrafti.com/power-mushroom-social-media-icon-set/ http://shezcrafti.com/power-mushroom-social-media-icon-set/#comments Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:00:25 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/?p=2608
I’ve been wanting some new social media icons for my blog to match the 8-bit theme I have going on, but couldn’t find anything decent.  So I decided to create my own!  The power mushroom from Super Mario was an obvious choice.  I only needed a few icons, but I loved how they turned out so [...]]]> http://shezcrafti.com/power-mushroom-social-media-icon-set/feed/ 1 http://shezcrafti.com/amateur-documentary-irl-tackles-online-game-addiction/ http://shezcrafti.com/amateur-documentary-irl-tackles-online-game-addiction/#comments Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:22:16 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/amateur-documentary-irl-tackles-online-game-addiction/
Countless documentaries have investigated gaming addiction and the supposed dangers lurking in massively multiplayer titles, but it's not often that someone who's experienced an addiction talks about it himself. Third year film student and ex World of Warcraft junkie Anthony Rosner looks back on his six years in the game in a new short documentary on the effects of MMO addiction.]]> http://shezcrafti.com/amateur-documentary-irl-tackles-online-game-addiction/feed/ 0 http://shezcrafti.com/tera%e2%80%99s-closed-beta-signup-opens/ http://shezcrafti.com/tera%e2%80%99s-closed-beta-signup-opens/#comments Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:32:49 +0000 shezcrafti http://shezcrafti.com/tera%e2%80%99s-closed-beta-signup-opens/
