Another great Steam sale is over, this time, Christmas/New Year. My only disappointment goes to not seeing Morrowind on sale, I'm going crazy for that game but I'm not brave enough to drop 19.99 dollars on that -- I believe it was like 15 while on sale, but it's still a no. I have played Super Meat Boy already and it's great, clocked 14 hours into the game, I've also played Burnout Paradise and...
Listen to some good news, Steam is currently having a big year ending sale! I know I grew addicted to those, just can't resist them. Among the offers many great games. I bought the following games already: * Bullet Candy * Galcon Fusion * Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved * The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom * Super Laser Racer * Super Meat Boy * VVVVVV Highlights go to Super Meat Boy and VVVVVV...
I simply love this time of year, lots of fun stuff to do, and one of these fun things is Gamespot's yearly gaming awards. As I did in the past years I'll be celebrating the year's ending by listing my own winners for each of the categories Gamespot presents. I was reluctant in modifying slightly my method of doing it, taking into account the manner I keep doing year after year since, I don't kn...
Such a fun time, there are a few things I enjoy more than paying a mere handful of dollars for games, I just wish Steam (and any retailer for that matter) would do it every single day! Talk about going poor in a few months. The first days in Steam's discount week were the best ones, it's just sad that I couldn't buy Half-Life 2 for 2.50 dollars, it wasn't this time they presented the deal, mayb...
Second day in Steam's discounted deals, and things are looking good for me. The first game I analyzed as being a contestant for purchase was AudioSurf, I have played this game in the past and thought it was okay, not a very replayable game so I won't buy it even though it's mere 2.50 dollars. Then I saw the indie pack for today, I instantly recognized Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale, which is an...
Well, I really don't get all this Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday stuff, but I sure as hell enjoy paying less money for stuff, so I'm having a blast with it today, Steam has made some neat special discounts and I've taken advantage of some of them and expect to take advantage of even more in the near future. Look what I already got: * Deus Ex (Game of the Year Edition) * Deus Ex: Invis...
For quite a while I have denied the true potential that non-physical purchase has. For me, as I have said before, the day the industry ceases from releasing physical games, with the actual CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/Cartridge inside a box, with an actual instructions booklet and anything that might come with it, will be the day the industry will have done something the wrong way. At least in my humble opin...
Let me first say that last week I went to a marine event that happened around here, I was already willing to buy a Wake Board and it seemed like the perfect place. Of course I would find many boats of all kinds, now I can tell you I found boats ranging from 40.000 dollars to boats with an incredible price of 1.5 millions, gigantic really, four floors and everything you could imagine. Though I f...
Well, just a few things, I bought a new Nintendo 64 game, it's actually used but it's new on my collection, it's Mission Impossible, I played this game when I was younger and I say it's pretty good, I find it strange to see most people saying bad things about it, of course it's not a masterpiece but it's pretty good, certainly not as bad as everyone says it is, completely recommendable. Another...
Some of you might not know but I while ago I bought the Lord of the Rings trilogy books as well as The Hobbit and started reading, I read The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring but couldn't find time to read the other two books, eventually my interest ceased and I only read things related to study, now I still have to read some books for college preparation but I decided to go ahead and spare so...
So, I played the demo for Pro Evolution Soccer 2011, I don't generally play demos but I'm really looking forward to this game so I had to try it. After a while I found this was pretty much what I asked in a sequel for PES, I consider recent games for the series any game released in or after 2008, so we have 3 recent games that are much alike, especially the 2010 version which adds simply a new...
Yesterday, while playing Turok: Dinosaur Hunter I realized a thing I hate in games, I've subconsciously always hated it, but only now I stopped and thought about it, and this thing is respawning. Anyone who played Turok knows it well, you kill a guy or a dinosaur and a few seconds later a white ray descends down from heaven and there you go, a new one is born right in front of your eyes! This i...
Every now and then when I try to immerse myself in another next-gen gaming experience I come to think of Super Mario 64, you probably like this game, its hard not to, everyone probably played it in their youth and if they didn't they should have. The game itself is a masterpiece, I can't imagine how it could be any better, though rating a 14-year old game with the immense amount of nostalgia in...
I've recently bought these two games and they arrived today, they're games I've wanted to play for a long time, and now I have the chance. It was 6.99 for the SSX3 and 9.99 for the Pikmin. Bought them on Ebay, the paradise for gaming needs. Right now I'm playing Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, which is a hell of a good game too, right after I finish it, I'll start, probably Pikmin first, and th...
World Cup is upon us and because of that I've been watching a lot more football matches than I usually do, I normally watch two games per week but now I've sometimes watched four matches in one day, that's a lot of football, I simply can't miss a game and I haven't yet, not from this World Cup, nor do I plan to. I once had ideas about a brand new and revolutionary football game, the ultimate fo...
I have a tale to tell, it actually happened today with me, just now. As some of you must know I've recently purchased the latest Pokemon game released, Pokemon SoulSilver, a remake of the Game Boy Color classics, I've been playing this game non-stop lately and it's no surprise that I find is absolutely amazing. I've reached a far point in the game, beat the Elite Four, collected some badges in...
All right, Nintendo's press conference at this year's E3 was good, anyone who actually took the time to watch it would witness with their own eyes. Let's see the highlights from this conference and what I'm hoping from each of the key launches. The only thing that saddened me was that they still haven't shown a thing from the next F-Zero, the anticipation is killing me, I really wanna play this...
I'm done with Crysis Warhead, I was really looking forward to playing this game but after many struggles trying to make it run nicely with no crashes I gave up. I was told it ran better than Crysis, but that's not what I experienced. I could run the original with everything on maximum with solid framerate most of the time, this time I even had to lower to "mainstream" in some parts. Parts those...
Oh boy was I glad to see this , and then this . The second one I gave up to the community, and the first one is my legit "First!" quest. Second person on the site to get it. That's how I roll.
Since sometime now I've disliked Capcom with everything I've got, but there's no denying that Capcom, as far as problems go, did something right, and this something is revamping their own view on what path Mega Man should take. I can't stress enough how much I loved Mega Man 9, and I simply can't wait to get Mega Man 10. Obviously I just hope this series continues like this, old school and focu...
