Kaleb Rutherford
In 1997, Kaleb started CVGames and since then ttended and covered a variety of different events for the public including PAX, QuakeCon, E3, and many others. With over 20 E3 events covered, there isn't much that surprises Kaleb anymore in the industry as he has seen it all.
Kaleb is married to Emily and they have been together over 20 years. They have 4 boys who share a passion and love for technology and gaming as well.
Kaleb started Parents Press Play to begin podcasting and reaching a more casual segment of the world that tends to have coverage dominated by by "Hardcore," or "Core players. CVGames still exists to cover that section of users.
Combining CVGames and Parents Press Play together, Kaleb created CVGN: The Covering Video Games Network. While world domination is unlikely, our passionate team continues to strive to inform the different audiences with content we are passionate about.
Battle of the Launch: GameCube vs Xbox
The following is a conversation between Ryan Schaefer and Kaleb Rutherford about the GameCube and Xbox launches.
Castlevania Chronicles
Up until now, Konami has never released Akumajo Dracula or Dracula X: The Rondo of Blood in the US. Akumajo Dracula was originally released on the X68000 PC, available only in Japan, while Dracula X: The Rondo of Blood was released on the PC Engine (known as the Turbo Duo in the US).
Prehistorik Man
Straight from the stone age, Titus brings us Prehistorik Man, a platform title that will find its appeal more from younger gamers than old.
Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
When I think back to the days when the Playstation, Saturn, and Nintendo 64 were competing for dominance in the console market, developer Naughty Dog created a new mascot, Crash Bandicoot, for Sony to use to market against Mario and Sonic. The rest is videogame history as Crash went on to star in several sequels and become a household name.
OKAGE
Role Playing fans have been waiting for a good RPG title to hit the Playstation 2. Even though Dark Cloud is available, I consider it to be more of an action game than a straightforward RPG.
Kinetica
Sony’s new PS2 racer is definitely not your run-of-the-mill racing game. In Kinetica, the contestants are not sitting in a car, they’re wearing it. The game is set in a future where underground street races have become insanely popular and new technology has developed specialized suits that utilize kinetic energy for racing.
Dance Dance Revolution Disney Mix!
“Come along and sing a song and join our jamboree. M I C K E Y M O U S E!” From the moment you load Dance Dance Revolution Disney Mix, players will be dancing to remixes of their favorite Disney songs. DDR Disney Mix is the newly released sequel to Dance Dance Revolution.
Clock Tower II: The Struggle Within
The original Resident Evil was the beginning of a completely new genre of gaming. The mix of horror and survival gave Capcom a new franchise and the gaming industry something to copy. These “cloned” Resident Evil games brought nothing new to the table and very few were able to even come close to matching the brilliance of Capcom’s Resident Evil.
Dark Cloud
If there is one genre on the Playstation 2 that has yet to see a great title, it would most certainly have to be Role Playing Games. While this genre used to be something only the hardcore geeks played in the US, the popularity of the Final Fantasy franchise on the Playstation breathed new life into all RPG’s.
Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
Don’t you just love load times? I mean–really, really love load times? If you are like me and despise load times, then you will probably be disappointed by Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Load Times… er I mean, the Wrath of Cortex. However, if you can get past the load times, you may find something to enjoy.
