It’s been a while since I’ve done any fanfiction writing around here, so what better time than MonsterVine’s 3rd birthday than to restart that?

Only, this won’t be a story per se…this will be a tribute to the games that came before in the forms of Classic Games That Never Were. (more…)

I wanted to take the time and let you all know that a few members from our staff (William Saw, Trevor Stamp, Zack Mok, and our freelancer Austin Adamson) will participate in the Extra-Life charity event on Saturday, October 15. Extra-Life is a charity event where gamers around the world participate in a 24 hour gaming marathon, raising money for Children’s Hospitals and the Children’s Miracle Network ( who makes sure all of the Children’s Hospitals receive the donations). It’s a wonderful charity event, and something I believe that many gamers should get behind, as it is a fun way to raise money for a great cause. (more…)

With the NA release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword now known to be Nov. 20, I am as excited as any other Zelda fan to play the beloved series latest installment.

I decided to make a quit recap/predictions post right before E3 pops up so that I’ll be able to show how I felt about last E3 and how the big 3 delivered. I’ll admit this article is oozing with my own personal opinion so please go yell at my editor if you disagree with me since I think that will be funnier. You’ll notice I wrote a lot more for Nintendo than anyone else and that’s because I felt the strongest for them during their E3 conference and they’re the only ones who actually had more than 2 of the games they showed come out.

We’re running on adrenaline this year for the Electronic Entertainment Expo based in Los Angeles, California. I am extremeeely excited as this week celebrates the interactive entertainment industry and its future. 2011 marks the 3rd time MonsterVine will cover the worldwide event and I certainly feel fortunate in having an intrepid crew of reporters (from diverse backgrounds around the world) that are on-site and at home working to bring you phenomenal, up to the minute news, media, Tweets, and banters that, I hope, will make the show alot more lively and interactive for you. Keep checking back on this spot as it will serve as our central hub of all things you need to know throughout the week of E3. -Will

I come from the land of iOS devices with more apps. Also I’m kind of sick of the subtitled title already so I’m just going to stick with App Attack from now on. I also made a quick little picture I’ll use from now on as the thumbnail. I’d also like to remind you guys to continually check up on the free games since lots of sweet priced games get knocked to free for a few days and you can get some neat stuff sometimes like Spirits & Vector Runner for free.

I come from the land of iOS with treasured (and some cursed) apps. I request that you buy any that aren’t free since Apple pays me each time I type this out and somebody buys something.
