The iGame? Lego Halo? When it comes to April Fool's Day pranks, Electronic Gaming Monthly has some of the best. In the magazine's two decades they published fifteen separate jokes, spanning all systems, games and accessories. To celebrate this day we've decided to take a look at each and every one of EGM's 15 April Fool's Day Pranks! Wed, 01 Apr 2009 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-14 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 14) - Quick, name me all of the different sports that Mario would like to think he's a pro at? Actually don't because that's going to take too long. It's not just the big sports like baseball, soccer and tennis, but also more niche events (like boxing and dirt bike racing). In all there are 14 different sports, none of which Mario exactly excelled at. Either way, for our 14th episode of our popular I've Got Your Number show we've decided to take a look at these 14 sports and tell the sorted story about all of the sports that Mario thinks he's good at! Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-13 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 13) - Today is Friday the 13th, so we figured this was the perfect time to debut our 13th episode of I've Got Your Number. And what better subject material for this 13th episode on the 13th day of the month than Friday the 13th? That's right, Friday the 13th, the game that started the entire "Survival Horror" genre. And frankly we don't feel that it's given enough credit for its accomplishments. That's why we've decided to devote Friday the 13th to covering, what else, Friday the 13th! Fri, 13 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-12 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 12) - We're back from E3 and boy do we have a story to tell. But before we sit down and start writing out all of our important thoughts, perhaps we should address some issues we had with this year's brand new E3. While this year's E3 was an enjoyable experience full of new games and hardware announcements, there were a few problems that will hopefully be addressed next year. To help the organizers out we have compiled a list of twelve trends we hope to not see next year. Ladies and gentlemen, Defunct Games is proud to present The 12 Disturbing Trends of E3 2007! Mon, 16 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-11 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 11) - I hate Final Fantasy XI! Even though it's not a terrible game, there's just something about it I can't stand. Unfortunately it's not the graphics, game play or online nature of the title - it's the number XI! That's right; I hate the fact that this is a numbered Final Fantasy game, even though it shares nothing in common with all of the other Final Fantasy games in the series. In our eleventh episode of I've Got Your Number we take a look at one really good reason to hate Final Fantasy XI! Wed, 23 May 2007 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-10 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 10) - Even though everybody talks about making a trilogy, if you really pressed most game developers they would tell you that they wouldn't mind their big franchise spilling out to ten or more installments. But not every game is deserving of that many sequels, which might explain why so many titles are either skipping to ten or just starting there. In our tenth installment of I've Got Your Number we take a look at all of those games that seem obsessed with the number ten, even if they haven't paid their dues yet. Are we just terribly misguided or is this one trend that will never go away? Find out now when you discover why games are Jumping Straight to the X! Wed, 18 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-9 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 9) - While some may complain about the way women and minorities are treated in popular video games, I'm here to tell you that there's another group that is being persecuted. I'm of course talking about cute and adorable little cats. Some people like dogs, I like cats, and as far as I can tell there has never been a triple-A game using our feline friends as a lean character. While we sit here and watch Nintendogs bask in the glow of success we have to wonder if there will ever be a time when cats get their dues. Let's hope that day happens soon, because I'm sick of playing as a smelly old dog. Isn't it about time cats had their day in the sun? Fri, 06 Apr 2007 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-8 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 8) - We're up to EIGHT and that can only mean one thing. No, it doesn't mean we're going to devote a whole show to 8-bit games, although, now that you mention it that's a pretty good idea! Instead we're going to look at games that were shown off eight years before they actually came out. Prepare yourself for a short, but sweet, list of long-awaited games when we ask: Is Eight Years Too Much Time? Fri, 13 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-7 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 7) - It's that time of year again, it's time for Defunct Games to jump on an airplane and jet off to sunny southern California for E3! But before the biggest video game event of the year begins we thought it would be fun to take a sacrilegious look at E3 and its seven deadly sins! You may think you're strong but if this article proves anything it's that you will eventually succumb to something evil. So watch Defunct Games take one for the team and explore The Seven Deadly Sins of E3! Mon, 08 May 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-6 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 6) - I hate the Super Scope 6! Yes, I hate the big, bulky plastic creation, but even worse than the light gun is the actual Super Scope 6 game! In our sixth episode of I've Got Your Number we take a look at just about every reason you could have for hating the Super Scope 6! Be warned Super Scope fans, you're mind is about to be changed! Wed, 19 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-5 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 5) - In our first I've Got Your Number since the middle of last year we take a look at the number FIVE and what it's done for video gaming. In this case, five refers to five player games, a small group of games that did their part to buck the trend and give that fifth player something to do. Can we sustain a full article about five player games? You'd be surprised! Mon, 23 Jan 2006 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-4 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 4) - Later this year Microsoft is planning on releasing their Xbox 360, their hotly anticipated follow up to the Xbox. But with only four years between those two systems was the Xbox really given enough time to flourish? Did Microsoft miss out on some of the best years of a systems life? These questions and more are answered in the first new episode of I've Got Your Number in nearly two years! Mon, 27 Jun 2005 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-3 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 3) - It's a fact of life, nobody likes to age. Every year Americans spend millions of dollars on soaps, creams, pills, sprays, and paints that will make them look younger. But what if you're a video game? Like real life, you lie about your age, or just ignore it all together. This is our third episode of I've Got Your Number, and we're about to explore one of the longest running trends for sequels! Sun, 09 Nov 2003 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-2 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 2) - Sometimes a game will do well enough to warrant a sequel. But just because you get a second game doesn't mean you're going to become a franchise, as these Two Hit Wonders will tell you, it's not easy to only have two games. This is our third episode of I've Got Your Numbers and it's going to look at the most popular Two Hit Wonders around! Wed, 10 Sep 2003 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-1 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 1) - In our second episode of I've Got Your Number we take a look at the number 1, and it's Only One Time Around for You! Today we're talking about games that couldn't even manage to get one sequel, let alone a full franchise. What are these games? Why would anybody want to play them? Find out when you read our second episode of I've Got Your Number! Sun, 10 Aug 2003 00:00:00 -0800 http://www.defunctgames.com/shows.php?id=ivegotyournumber-0 I've Got Your Number (Ep. 0) - Episode Zero?? In a first for Defunct Games, we've granted an episode zero to I've Got Your Number. This is an episode that shows how video game companies intend to make zero a real number. But should we let them? Find out when you read our very first episode of I've Got Your Number, a show all about the numbers and what they represent! Tue, 05 Aug 2003 00:00:00 -0800
