Yesterday was the cultimation of months of anxious spectation - I got the news I'll be going to E3! Going to E3 has been something of a dream for me, getting to go to the show this year is extremely exciting for me, especially due to the hot state of affairs over at Nintendo and their new console. I've been a huge fan of Nintendo since a kid and getting to see their new system first hand is goi...
Sorry for the lack of posts! I've been extremely busy lately. Currently, I'm playing with the thought of starting my own endurance run for Deadly Premonition after finish Alan Wake. What do you think, Zach?
Check out my first (and probably last, for a while) paid review for GameRevolution.com - Tatsunoko vs. Capcom! http://tiny.cc/fvhn6 I say it's probably my last paid review, 'cause this one was a fluke, thanks to the Capcom PR troubles of late, I was able to pick up the game before GR's main office even had one, so I caught the review! Also, I have a downloadable PSP Mini game review for Age of...
It's hard to believe, but today marks the 10th anniversary of the launch of the Dreamcast. I can't say it feels like yesterday, but man, it's a long time for sure. I was finally able to nab one of the little plastic white boxes in late 1999, after having a chance to see it on different occasions. The game shown was always some sort of fighting game, but I knew there was much more to it. My new...
... and it's apparently pretty rare .
So last week was the infamous E3 week, so I thought bullets wouldn't do the trick. Consider these explosive rounds, 'cause I'm mixing the games played in a bit of an in-depth look at one game in particular, with some E3 comments in the form of bullets right afterwards. Hold on, it's a long one this week! For most of the week, I played Resident Evil 5 single player on short spurts. I made it to...
... you wake up Monday morning and go type up your bullets for last week. Oh well, maybe next year, right? Bullets are something I write every Monday, detailing all the gaming I've done the past week. Now it'll be posted at GiantBomb as well! This past week was pretty experimental for me, with lots of trying out 'new' games. So without further ado. Finished Marvel Ultimate Alliance, yet again,...
Damn it, Blizzard! Now I want one of these... too bad 1) the tickets are impossible to get and 2) I live so far away. For those not into WoW, Blizzard is giving one of these in-game, World of WarCraft pets as a gift to people going to Blizzcon this year. For those not into Blizzard games - the one guy in the back - this is a cute little murloc creature from the WarCraft series wearing a space m...
This is a "nostalgic" piece I've been working on for a while. It is none other than the Ectomobile-1, the "ECTO-1" from the movie Ghostbusters. That along with the DeLorean from Back to the Future, always held a place in my heart as my favorite movie ride. The original Ectomobile-1 was born off a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance, turned into the iconic ride that the Ghostbusters drive arou...
Hey, everyone. Just got two more reviews published on GameRevolution.com, one for EXIT 2 and the other for GTA IV: Lost and Damned. Both are still at the front page, but if you cannot find them, check them out at: http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/xbox360/grand-theft-auto-iv-lost-and-damned http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/xbox360/exit-2 I'm currently reviewing Peggle for XBLA. It's Pegg...
I've been writing freelance reviews for GameRevolution.com now for about a month. Even though that's a relatively short period of time, I have already managed to have five reviews published there. For a quick pick-me-up-what-the-hell-is-going-on deal, check out the list below! Everyday Shooter (PSP): http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/psp/everyday_shooter Interpol: On the Trail of Dr. Chaos (...
Did The Maw gobble up much of my attention? Maybe. You'll have to read my thoughts on it to find out. http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/xbox360/the-maw
If you want a completely zero story knowledge of Operation Anchorage before playing it, do not read this. This might include spoiling information. The first official downloadable content for Fallout 3 - Operation Anchorage was finally released yesterday. After installation, a simple load with a savegame that is placed after the player left the Vault, a strange distress signal is picked up in th...
See what I think about World of Goo in my latest review for Game Revolution!
Hello, I'd just like to point you all to my first published ever review at GameRevolution.com, for Everyday Shooter on the PSP. My good friend Nick, a.k.a Draqq_Zyxorian is an associate editor there, and took the chance of having me writing reviews here and there for GR whenever there's a chance. Do I recommend or "pft" the game? Read my review and find out!
I'm slowly, but surely, coming back to reviewing games. After some months really busy with my own activities, I'm going to start writing reviews more often. I'll start with posting a review for Fable II, a game that ends up, for me, being hugely disappointing. I am oh so glad I didn't get a limited edition! For reasons on why I think that, refer to my review . Even though my opinion might not b...

Wow, this one was a surprise. Megaman 9 was announced today by Capcom that it'll be coming out on the Wii Monday next week! PSN will get it on the 25th and XBLA on October 1st. For once, I am glad my 360 isn't working, I'm Wiiware all the way for this game. Can anyone say classic controller?
Since when has the act of buying a new videogame console gotten so freaking complicated? Everyone knows my 360 Elite is faulty since May and I've been meaning to get a new Arcade unit. Now, making my research, I find a lot of factors that need to be taken into account in order to get one of the so called 'falt proof' Falcon chip machines. But let's back up - why are there so many models in the...
A while back, I mentioned I was studying character concept art. Well, I still am, but a lot more intensily lately. The last month or so proved quite fruitful for me in terms of studying - I finally started to get comfortable drawing. I don't feel insecure when I face a blank sheet of paper. Taking a deep breath, I patiently start out a drawing. Whether it's a copy of a photograph or a creation...
... or not, but cheese stenched! Game|Life reported that EA has announced the cast of the Red Alert 3 story FMV sequences! The list is as follows: Gemma Atkinson ( Hollyoaks ) Andrew Divoff ( LOST ) Kelly Hu ( The Scorpion King ) Jenny McCarthy ( Singled Out ) Ivana Milicevic ( Casino Royale ) Jonathan Pryce ( Pirates of the Caribbean ) J.K. Simmons ( Spider-Man ) Autumn Reeser ( The OC ) Peter...
I'm getting it on the 360 as soon as I get a new 360, that is. Might try it on the PC if someone I know gets it.
Edrebrann, my World of WarCraft hunter, was the only character really eligible to bring to the WOTLK beta, and guess what the first thing I did was? Of course, look for a barber. After thoroughly looking through IF... I didn't find anything, so I took the boat to Howling F. and started travelling north to the Crystal Forest to see if I could warp to Dalaran, since the awesome people in general...
Just came back home from the Dark Knight. Ok, not exactly 'just'. Two hours ago. Close enough. So I avoided going to see it during the hype heavy premiere and all the hub hub about it. I have to say, I enjoyed it, it is a pretty good film, one of the better super hero movies. I won't state much of my opinions about it seeing reactions after my Spiderman 3 views last year. I'll just say that I t...
I'd love to see embedded gamertags, IDs and Wii numbers on the profiles. Maybe a space for MMO identities as well?
*scratches head* So, I spent a good part of my afternoon today writing up some wiki pages for the site. Mostly for games that only came out in Brazil for the Master System, which are basically rom hacks of Wonder Boy under the authorization of SEGA. I then remembered I know a lot about J.R.R. Tolkien, so I decided to see if his page was filled, and to my surprise, it was empty, so I opened note...
"I am in the verge of just giving up on your company. My Xbox 360 ELITE's last dying breaths took away the like scrap of hope I had in you, Microsoft. Your treatment to clients in beyond disgusting - it's inhuman. My desire now is to simply sell every Xbox 360 product I own. This company, for me, is the symbol of everything that is wrong with games today. How can you insert into the market a pr...
This year's banner made by Koji Yamamura. This year's international animated film festival, AnimaMundi, happened last week in Sao Paulo's Latin American Memorial space. I was able to attend four of the five days of the open shows. At the end of the day on Wednesday, I watched a panel on Ray Harryhausen, the man behind the special effects and stop motion animation in films like Clash of the Tita...
I'm still getting used to the site's features. I managed to get some things done for the launch - added some of my reviews and a new wiki entry for Jackie Chan (the person) on the site. If/once that's approved, I'll be filling the blanks for some other wiki entries. They'll work as a bit of writing practice, I hope. First thing I'd love to see in the future - editing reviews. I made the dumb mi...
Rocking out... crowd screaming... fingers sliding on a guitar neck... total control. That's what most people dream about when they think of rock stars. In video games, the current trend is the rhythm music game that combines music, rhythm, memorization and coordination into one single experience. The draw is that you can be a musician even if you don't know how to play a real instrument. Unfort...
It's looking very cool, can't wait to see what the guys will do in the future!
Yes, the new site is finally here. I'd just like to say 'congrats' to our friends Brad, Vinny, Jeff and Ryan for the launch. No way but up from here! :)
