Taking Control of Ransei

This week has been really great!  I've got two brand new Pokémon games to play, and they are both equally awesome!  I just started playing Pokémon Conquest, as well as a Japanese copy of Pokémon White 2.  (No, I don't speak Japanese.  But I do speak the common language of Pokémon!) I would love to …

E3DS Disappointment

I know this is a few days after the fact, but honestly I was just so pissed off that I couldn't even bring myself to write a blog until now. As I'm sure you all know, last week was the E3 Expo, where Nintendo had a few presentations to show us sneak peeks at new …

A Harvest Moon Wedding!

Everyone who reads my blog knows that I love Pokémon and Animal Crossing.  But did you know that I have yet another video game franchise obsession?  It's true, and the game is Harvest Moon. I've been playing different titles in the Harvest Moon franchise for a few years now, sampling the different versions of the …

New “About Me” Page

Hm... what is it about me?  What do people want to know about the Gluxbox? I'm not entirely sure.  But most blogs and websites have an About Me page and I figured it was time for the Glux Blog to have one as well.  Of course I didn't know what to write...  it's always kind …

What’s Next?

This is a "calm" time for me right now, in terms of video games.  There's no HUGE title out there that I'm dying for, except for Pokémon Black and White 2, which doesn't even come out until June...  and if I want to understand anything in the game, the North American version isn't available until …

The PVGC Report

Yesterday was a long, exhausting, but awesome day!  JDubz and I took a road trip down to Philadelphia to participate in the Pokémon Video Game Championship Regional tournament.  I haven't been to Philly since I was a kid, so I was also hoping to sneak in some sight-seeing while we were down there. The registration …

IT’S CRUNCH TIME!

Much to discuss today!  I've been so busy with the awesomeness that is Kid Icarus, I've barely had time to blog about all the other sweet games that are coming out soon.  And I haven't even talked about Mario Party 9, which I've been playing off and on for a while.  ZOMG!  Not to mention …

Leaving PokéPark!

It was a short stay in PokéPark 2.  While the game was completely adorable, unfortunately it's time to go.  Don't worry Pikachu - I'll always have your save file! I've decided to trade in PokéPark 2 towards the purchase of Kid Icarus: Uprising at GameStop.  But don't get me wrong, PokéPark 2 was a lot …

PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond!

Despite being a day late (thanks a lot for not sending your shipments to GameStop on time, Nintendo!) I finally got to playPokéPark 2 for the first time yesterday!  The game is BEYOND cute, and I really like it so far. You start off the game as Pikachu, much like the original title.  You go …

Most of the buzz surrounding these new games …
