The goodness of Mechassault 2
I just want to go on record stating that I appreciate the level of polish Day 1 put into Mechassault 2. The new explosion effects are mind blowing it looks like a star going supernova (or as close...
So we're on the road heading home after spending the holidays with the in-laws. (Thanks in advance for your sympathies but they were somewhat tolerable this year even without the Xbox to help me)....
Happy Birthday Dear Xbox So I've had the Xbox for a year now. In that time, I have experienced some of the best moments in gaming and I'm looking forward to many more. I can't wait for the...
It's official tomorrow at noon will be the last I see of an office this year. Although there will be driving and visiting and putting up with family for a few days, after that it's a week of...
I took a peek at the Gamespot GameGuide for Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. This wasn't to get help on a section I haven't defeated yet mind you. I was looking at the walkthrough for parts I've...
One thing I've noticed that go hand in hand. A lot of my friends who are gamers are also involved in the IT industry...and I don't know a single programmer in my age bracket who isn't an avid...
EA has inked a five year exclusive deal with the NFL, and Players, Inc. for the videogame rights to the NFL teams, stadiums, and players. This appears to be a cowardly move in my eyes and one that...
Okay, I finally put some serious time into team games on Halo2. I've gotta tell you that it is fun but only under one condition: YOU HAVE TO FIND A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT YOU WORK WELL WITH. I...
So I'm in the middle of a rumble slayer match on Midship (which has somehow gone from my least favorite map to one of my best). I hear this kid yelling out "yeah n*gg*" whenever he gets a kill....
First let me tell you that I love my job. The only way I could love it more is if I was in a game development shop. Maybe one day I'll get off my lazy ass and do something to achieve that goal....
If there's one thing I hate in FPS multiplayer, it's a camper (except in an objective game). Even worse than that is a spawn camper (I really wish Bungie would give a 5 second or until you shoot...
Anyone into classic hip hop knows the origin of that line (if you're a youngin' you probably think Timbaland started it). Anyway, it's been a while since I posted in here (a direct result of...
My first exposure to the Elder Scrolls series was with the last entry "Daggerfall" I can tell you two things about that game: 1. I never finished the main quest for it. 2. I enjoyed the entire...
Every once in a while I get a new game that is so addictive, I find myself playing it until the wee hours of the morning just before I have to go to work. A few weeks back Burnout 3 was my poison...
I have no clue if this is likely or not but I have been doing some thinking about the possibility of Microsoft and Nintendo merging or collaborating. Here are the facts, Nintendo is getting...
I don't think kids appreciate being kids as much as they should. 3 months off every year in addition to two weeks for christmas and all the other holidays they get a break from. If I had the...
Okay, yesterday I pick up Burnout 3, Guilty Gear X2, and Fable. As if I didn't have enough hot games to occupy my time. I take back all the statements I made about Publishers/Developers targetting...
Okay...this reminds me of being in college playing EA Sports NHL hockey on computer. My friends and I would play all the time, always with top tier teams like Detroit, Colorado, Philly, Dallas....
Okay, if there is one thing missing from hockey simulators it's practice modes. All the football simulators have practice, why can't I have practice in hockey. Because I sure could have used it...
It's time for the deluge of games for the christmas season to start pouring out. Although I would prefer a steady stream of games throughout the year (July and August in particular), I have come to...
