Is Downloadable Content (DLC) Out of Control?
The Resurgence Pack: BioWare’s way of saying, “Sorry, we screwed you out of your Mass Effect 3 ending and intended to charge you for it via DLC, so here is some free stuff.” Having just a little something more is one thing fans (of anything really) love. Why should video games be any different? Who [...]
Early Swirly – New Releases This Week: 04-09-2012
Welcome to another week of the Early Swirly, fellow Flushers! I’d quickly like to mention we have a few new things happening this month and next month (nothing major–sorry–so don’t get too excited). But let me be the first to welcome our new Staff Member, Zook the Terrible, who’s going to be writing our Character [...]
Video of the Week – Hitler’s Reaction to the Street Fighter x Tekken Disc-Locked DLC
For those of you who have been following Capcom’s recent debacle over the Street Fighter X Tekken disc-locked DLC (containing extra characters such as Bryan Fury, Cody, Christie, and Blanka), you will appreciate Hitler’s reaction to the news. Like most of you, he doesn’t react favorably. At least he got Rolento, right? It’s not hard [...]
Early Swirly – New Releases This Week: 04-02-2012
It’s a rarity when the most anticipated game of the week is a Wii exclusive. The Wii may be down, but it’s certainly not out yet. This game has tremendous promise, being touted as one of the best JRPGs to come stateside in many years. While not directly linked to the Xenosaga or Xenogear games, [...]
Early Swirly – New Releases This Week: 03-26-2012
Still keeping busy with games like Street Fighter X Tekken and Mass Effect 3? Good. Us too (can’t get enough of all the “Ending” drama from Mass Effect and the teaming of Kazuya/Ryu in SFxT). Not a strong week for new releases. Well, anything Gears of War is strong, but what follows it is not [...]

Early Swirly – New Releases This Week: 01-23-2012
Okay. I won’t say this week is abysmal, because there are just a couple of games that look at least interesting, but there isn’t anything stellar happening this week in video game land. Still, it’s worth taking a brief look at what’s coming out. After all, you may be done with all the greats from [...]
Early Swirly – New Releases This Week: 01-09-2012
It’s a new year, folks, and we are rolling 2012 in with style! Just look at the titles for this week: Amy! Zen Pinball3D! We even have the return of Carmen Sandiego (I’m sure The Farr will be happy for the trip back to the ’90s)! How could you possibly be disappointed with a stellar [...]
Early Swirly 2012 – Upcoming Releases This Year
We say “this” year in the title, because well, let’s face it, 2011 is over. Out with the old and in with the new. As 2011 comes to a close, it is time to look at what 2012 brings us. We have tons of highly anticipated games coming even after the amazing Fall season we [...]
NYCC 2011 – Firsthand Look At Upcoming Games
My first day at Comic Con (ever!) was an experience like no other. It was a fantastic day amongst my peers, as I got the chance to preview some of the most popular games yet to come. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get actual footage of the gameplay, due to circumstances beyond my control, but [...]
