Why hasn't Capcom made another Megaman game? 10 was okay, but it lacked the soul of the others. Hey Capcom, here's some Robot Masters for you Megaman 11 Treadman: Basic Weapon: Homing rocket, Charged Weapon: Rocket Storm Tideman: Basic Weapon: Hot Geyser, Charged Weapon: Mega Tsunami Sphereman: Basic Weapon: Sphere Shield, Charged Weapon: Sphere body Boltman: Basic Weapon: Bolt Slugger, Charged...
Today The Verge is reporting that MIcrosoft may be phasing out their Points system by the end of the year. http://www.theverge.com/microsoft/2012/1/24/2729395/microsoft-points-rumor-discontinue-2012 The company will replace that system with cold hard cash. MS is no strange to criticism with the points system as it has always been rather confusing. 80 MS points = $1.00 USD. Okay, that doesn't ma...
What IS Final Fantasy? After finishing FF13 in preparation for FF13-2 I asked that question. Originally, Final Fantasy was the last ditch effort of SquareSoft to remain a video game company. Back then, the company was in dire straights and only could produce one more game. Thankfully FF1 was released and it was a smash hit. Heck, I finished it on IOS a few months ago and I have to say that game...
At the time of this blog post I am completely in love with this game. There is a charm here that I have not seen in many video games in a long time. It is hard to explain, but there is a sense of whimsy and wonder that Epic Yarn has managed to obtain that keeps me coming back for more. This is not a hard game at all but it is so damn charming that I can't stop playing. Okay, that was a lie. Eve...
Have you ever had ones of those days where you fail a pretty much everything (gaming wise that is). I tried to play my 360, but it over heated and shut down. No red-ring, just shut down. Tried to play the Wii and the batteries in all four controllers are dead and we are fresh out of AA batteries. Attempted to play the PS3, but the damn thing's display was "mode not supported". Man tonight just...
It's been almost three years since I last ate mcdonald's I really don't feel so good right now.
When Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 was announced I was extatic. After playing dozens of hours of MvC2 my little fan-boy brain was having a meltdown over thoughts of what could be in the next installment. Megaman vs. Havok? Thor vs. Dr. Wiley? The possibilities were endless. Sadly though over these past few months my feelings for the new game have cooled down a bit and I think I know why. I'm not going to...
My wife just cooked up delicious bacon that came from pigs from a local natural farm. How would you suggest we consume said bacon? Sandwhich? Straight up? In a salad? Ice Cream?
I am currently on my third Xbox console, the first two red ringed and I have a concern. My disk tray is very, very loud. So loud in fact that I it interferes with gaming. Also, the drive sounds like it is spinning even when nothing is in it. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a know way to minimize the volume of the hardware that won't void what little warranty is left?
I'm bored. So here's are the boss enemies for the GiantbombMan game. Shoe-man Weapon - Southern Quake: these deep, sultry tones are enough to cause localized earthquakes. Earthquake shoots straight ahead and destroys enemies on the floor. +1 damage to all vegans Davis-man Weapon - Double Durger: They are the twin weapons of destruction. Shower your enemies with bullets of delisousnous and they...
Over the years Megaman has been one of my favorite video games series. Megaman 2 is my all time favorite game. Over these past decades I have created multiple robot masters to challenge Megaman and I thought that I would share eight of them with you. Tread-man -Weapon: Tread Cannon, fires a massize bullet accross the screen, pushes megaman back a bit Gust-man -Weapon:Hurrican Gust, full screen...
Has Square forgotten how to make console games? The company is doing fine with creating portable games like Dragon Quest 9 and Kingdom Hearts, but their home console games have been lacking. FFXIII sold well, but not that well. Front Mission is a mess. FFXIV is being lambasted by it players. Star Ocean, Neir and Blurr have all been some what of misses. So what is going on? Forget for a moment a...
I know that this isn't Tested.com. I realize that, but I can't think of anything else to blog about today. So you might be wondering who the heck I am. My name is Spada (pronounced Spay-dah) and I have been reviewing Transformer toys and other robot toys for over four years. I've even been the host of a Transformers podcast. Normally I wouldn't pimp myself out like this but today, I can't think...
Last night my wife and I went to a wedding for a family member. Thanks to horrific directions we were a little late to the full mass service and thankfully missed most of the boring stuff. We came in just in time to see them give their vows and say "I do". YAY! That's not the weird part. Right after the 'I do' and the kiss the priest ask us all the "raise you right arm for blessing". Slowly eve...
As someone who works ten hour days every day I have found that my time is limited to play games of any sort. Especially when the game requires a steep learning curve. The is one of the reasons why I have not started to play Civ 5. I have it downloaded and installed via Steam but I have had zero time to play it and when I do have time I'm scared that I won't have enough time to get into it befor...
Today it has been announced that Gears of War 3 has been pushed back to Holiday 2011. Okay, fine but I am a little worried about something. The past year or so has seen multiple games slip into differnt quarters. Bayonetta, DMC, Gears and more are being pushed back in order for them to have a better chance at selling. This I have no problem with. What I do have an issue with is that these games...
Wow. So today on my drive to and from work I was listening to this weeks Bombcast and I thought that everything was fine but found that the gang was speaking at a rather rapid pace. Much faster than usual. To be honest I really didn't think anything of it since I was doing my very best not to die in today's torrential downpour and I figured that Ryan might have been punking the listeners. Let's...
With Nintendo finally pulling back the curtain on its new handheld, the 3DS, the question must be asked. Does it cost too much? Yes the device is launching in Japan first for what will most likely be a higher price than what it will sell for in the USA. But even if it launches for $250.00 USD that is far outside the "impulse buy" range for most Americans. If the 3DS launches in the USA for $300...
Why was War for Cybertron considered the only good Transformers video game? TF: Armada back on the PS2 was good. Hard, but good.
Just edited the Megaman game section. Added some basic info
