If you like video games, you'll love the 16-Bit Superstars.  While Steve & I usually focus on games from the 80s and 90s, today we'll be looking at video games from 2000-2009 and look at the games whose effects are still being felt in a big way in modern games!  Don't miss episode ten of The 16-Bit Superstars!

I got a copy of Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments for Christmas and I finally got around to playing it.  I've played it all the way through and have some thoughts.  This game is still fairly new, and can be found for a fairly low price (especially for PlayStation Plus members).  Here is my latest video game video review for Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments!

Today, The Rob & Steve reunite once again to talk about the "good old days of video games."  This time, we'll continue our look at video games by the decades, this time focusing on the 1990s.  We both consider this our glory days of gaming, and we'll tell you some of the notable titles of the decade and how they've impacted modern video games!

We've got another great discussion of the golden era of video games on the latest episode of The 16-Bit Superstars!  In today's show, we'll talk about games that DEFINED the 1980's!

Last week, Steve and I discussed the Super Nintendo and what made it win the 90s console wars in video games.  Today on The 16-Bit Superstars, we'll look at the other side and discuss some of Sega Genesis' exclusive wins that made the 16-bit console as beloved as it was!

Mario Kart is by far my favorite video game.  Since its release on Wii years ago, I've been obsessed with it, and over the years I've come up with a few ways to shake up the game (as if it even needs it)

The video game freaks, The Rob & Steve, are back with another episode of The 16-Bit Superstars!  Last week, our conversation about all things retro in the world of gaming focused on Sega's Genesis.  Today, we're putting the spotlight on it's arch-rival, Nintendo's Super Nintendo Entertainment System!  We'll talk about the most important SNES EXCLUSIVE titles that helped it edge out the Genesis

I'm back with another video game review, this time with a very recent handheld game on the Nintendo 3DS, Code Name S.T.E.A.M.  "S.T.E.A.M." is, in fact, an acronym for "Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Menace."  This is a great example of a game that does a lot of things right, and a few things wrong.  I'll outline those, and tell you whether or not Code Name S.T.E.A.M. is wor

The Rob & Steve's celebration of all things 16-bit continues!  Episode 5 of The 16-Bit Superstars will shine the light on the "loser" of the 16-bit wars, Sega Genesis!  MANY games in the 16-bit nineties were released on both Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis.  Generally speaking, the Super Nintendo iteration was better.  But there were a few games that for one reason or another just ex

The latest large-scale survival horror game has been highly publicized and greatly anticipated.  From the genius behind Resident Evil 4, Bethesda's The Evil Within is one of the most terrifying games I've ever played.  Is that enough to make it a must-have?  Find out in my latest video game review!

In last week's episode of "The 16-Bit Superstars", Steve and I mentioned that we should put together our own version of video games' Mount Rushmore.  This is NOT necessarily a list of our four favorite video game icons, these are the four names who MOST-SHAPED video games.  Let us know who you think belongs on the Mount Rushmore of video games, email therob@1061evansville.com

It's true, my favorite era in gaming was the 16-bit nineties.  There were so many games on the 16-bit consoles (think Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis) that defined my childhood.  Many franchises evolve and get better over time...  But some peaked and climaxed in the 16-bit era!  Maybe they stepped it up from the 8-bit NES days, or got worse into the days of HD, these ten games were BEST left in 16
