Johnny Cupcakes takes retro gaming to the Coolidge
By Maddy Myers

Last Saturday night at midnight, Johnny Cupcakes brought late-80s gamer geek classic The Wizard to the Coolidge. People who crave their fix of both Nintendo nostalgia and exclusively designed Powerglove posters flocked to the theatre early that night. I arrived at 11:15 to find the line stretched down the alley.

Vintage Gaming Exhibit: 8-bit Is Back at CyberArts
By Maddy Myers
“I consider myself a casual gamer,” Andrew Y. Ames tells me as he guides me around his Vintage Gaming exhibit at 1305 Boylston, an old gas station turned gallery-for-rent. The exhibit, which is a part of the Boston Cyberarts Festival, involves several retro televisions, Ataris, a Wii, and a projection screen. The video-games displayed seem casual compared to plot-intense, graphics-heavy modern games, but these decades-old titles hold considerable interest for gamers who crave a vintage experience.

More E3: Nintendo and Sony press conferences, Metal Gear Solid 4, more Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3
By Ryan Stewart

Why?

Quick and dirty analysis, based on reporting from the scene here, here, and here: Microsoft didn't really tell us anything we didn't already know, Sony impressed by actually revealing new info, and Nintendo basically took a huge shit on everyone's head.

Well, maybe the last one isn't entirely accurate.
