In Memory of The Zombie That Started A Genre
Do you recall your first time playing Resident Evil? The original Resident Evil with the cheesy one-liners, terrible acting and that damned scary mansion?
I was in college at the time and had used my financial aid to purchase FF7 and Resident Evil (I ain’t ashamed… what?) For whatever reason I chose to play this title around midnight on a week night, opting for Chris Redfield and smiling in awe at my awesome PlayStation and...
The New Thundercats Rocks!
You don’t need sight beyond sight to know that this show kicks ass, just take my word for it. After finding out there was going to be a revamp of the old cartoon I came to grow and love as a kid, I thought it was going to suck, and that my fond childhood memories would be destroyed. Boy was I wrong.
Not only is the new iteration good, it’s better than the original, with a better story, amazing art direction, incredible animation,...
No More Gimmicks for Soul Calibur V Please!
Don’t you just love NAMCO? While the company has hit a wall in terms of growth in their two popular fighters Tekken and Soul Calibur, the games that they do produce are normally of very high quality and fun factor.
With the growth that we look forward to as gamers, the problem lies more so with ourselves being that we have burnt out on every aspect of Tekken and Soul Calibur. Of course with the engine being what it is (not wanting...
In Defense of The Phantom Menace
Did you see Star Wars – The Phantom Menace when it came out? Were you one of the people who said it raped your childhood or something along those lines? Do you claim ownership of the original three like some people do, citing the actual creator George Lucas as committing a crime when he opted to make three prequels to his original Space Opera? Well I am not of your number when it comes to Star Wars; for me Star Wars...
L.A. Noire Review
L.A. Noire really isn’t a video game; it is you stepping back in time and being allowed to control a cinematic masterpiece. At least that’s what it felt like.
The year is 1947 and you are in control of a new detective named Cole Phelps, a decorated war hero turned Boy Scout cop, he isn’t likable but he is sharp and you get to stare at his back for 20+ hours of gameplay. The thing that gets you immediately with L.A. Noire is...
Guardian Heroes Coming to XBLA
This is definitely some exciting news to see Sega bringing out classics to the DLC platform. For years many people have been playing them on the illegal ROM scene. Now Sega is offering the classic “Guardian Heroes” once again to XBLA. The title will feature updated graphics as well as the ability to play online. But this title can truly stand on its own because it truly is a timeless classic. Treasure was the pinnacle...
15 Things You Forgot About SWG Pre-NGE
All of us SWG Vets love to reminisce on the original Star Wars MMORPG. To the outsider it would seem like it was the god of all MMO’s and perfect in every single way. One thing that we tend to do as fans however, is to hold on to the positives and forget that the negatives ever existed. People act as if the NGE was the only downside to the old game and are now hesitant to try Bioware’s The Old Republic in fear of it...
FF: Romance of The Three Kingdoms
Although the series: Romance of the Three Kingdoms has gone on to make many sequels that have been for the most part successful, for me there is nothing like the crude original. While the original had it’s flaws and shortcomings, it was still one of the most fun forays into history that I’ve ever had in a video game. I think what I liked most about the original is that it got straight to the point. While many looked at it...
Dragon Age Origins – Photo Album
One of the most fun and memorable games by Bioware has been the original Dragon Age Origins. The game was so good that I replayed it over 4 times (on multiple platforms) in a time when replaying a game is unheard of. With the coming of Dragon Age Origins II, there will no doubt be many people who will get into the sequel without much knowledge of the original outside of what they read on sites like this and some in-game images.
For...
Friday Flashback: X-Men vs Street Fighter
Capcom’s X-Men vs Street Fighter is the title that started all of the crossover madness that 2D Fighting game lovers like myself cherish. While it had its share of flaws, I recalled the early days of the arcades when infinite loops weren’t discovered, Wolverine was king and variety was the spice of life. Nothing beats the raw arcades when a title is new and everyone is playing it. 3GK and company has spent hundreds of dollars...
