Mock Man Rules the World

If any of you are/were like me, then when you were a kid, the thought of being Mega Man in real life held a certain allure. The action, the adventure, being a hero... Well, as it turns out, being Mega Man in real life would probably not be all that great, as the...

Mega Man Joining Video Games Live

Well, this is certainly embarrassing; I thought that we had already covered this bit of news, but following a tip from reader Windsor Genesis and a search through our archives-- nothing. So I guess this isn't so much "new" as it is "information," but nonetheless, I...
