Check Out LBD’s Mega Man X iPhone Review on Slide to Play
It's a rare thing for me to talk about my non-MMN ventures here on the site (or even speak in the first person), but today, I felt it was warranted. As you probably know by now, a new version of Mega Man X was released to Apple's App Store last night, and since one of...
Steven Chase’s Silly Pretentious Review of Stewie as Mega Man in Family Guy: Uncensored
Sure, we know that the iPhone game Family Guy: Uncensored has been out for a couple of years already, and sure, we know that the television show upon which it is based has pretty much run its course. Heck, even creator Seth MacFarlane has recently come out and said...
A Review of GigaMix Volume 2
I am a huge Hitoshi Ariga fan, and on top of that, Mega Man V was one of my favorite Classic games, hands down. So when GigaMix 1 was released in Japan, and it hinted that the next story involved the Stardroids, I about lost it. This story arc builds up on the events...
Review of Mega Man Gigamix vol. 1
Mega Man Gigamix is a whole new series from famed manga artist and writer Hitoshi Ariga. Whereas the original Mega Man Megamix was done in Japan years ago, Mega Man Gigamix is much more recent. We fans can be thankful for not having to wait nearly as long this time!...
“Supermor” Model Kit Report
Awhile back on eBay I found a couple of obvious bootleg Mega Man model kits. Now, I have never seen anything on these, ever. After finding them I did some research and the only thing I found was a warning blog on bootleg Mega Man merchandise where they mentioned...
Proto on Proto: A Kotobukiya Figure Review
As longtime fans know, for many years, Bandai's Rockman 8 Ironbuster Blues model kit long stood as perhaps the best example of an action figure or model kit based on the prototypical older brother of the Blue Bomber. But more recently, a company by the name of...

Analyzing Mega Man 10’s Endless Attack: Classic Stage Homages
Here's a video feature I've wanted to make for a little while now. You may recall how Mega Man 9's Endless Attack mode paid homage to classic Mega Man by using a few stage segments from Mega Man and Mega Man 2. As to be expected, Mega Man 10's Endless Attack mode has...
TMMN Review of Mega Man 10
When Mega Man 9 came out, it caused quite a stir. As games continually strove to push the boundaries of graphics, story and budget, Mega Man 9 had the nerve to be a simple action game with a retro presentation. It was the first milestone in what we now consider...
Review: Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star – The Case for Content

Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X Staff Review (Heat Man)
Overview: Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X is a dream come true for the hardened X fan; well, possibly. There are some who feel its placement on the Sony PSP as opposed to the Nintendo DS is a stab to the series' roots. I'll bring that up later, though. If you are a big...
