Spent the better part of the past year playing various MMO's RPG's, and open world games and I think as games get larger the ability for people to fill them with meaningful content starts to fall away. I know it has to be difficult to fill every inch of a open world with enough content to make it feel lived in but I think developers have gone the other way with this. While it's nice to have a g...

So a few weeks ago I was debating buying a Wii-U. At first I hadn't really given it much thought but wanted something. I like my 360 but with Microsoft crapping that system up with charging you to even access online content that you also have to pay another company to watch, and smearing the dashboard with as many advertisements as they can get away with, I was getting a bit frustrated with it....

Been playing a LOT of magic the gathering lately, the actual card game not the 360 game. I'd be in total love with the 360 game if it had a deck editor. I'd also love the online game more if it weren't such a money sink. There's several other versions of mtg online that some random people have made that work with different levels of success. There's no games I really WANT right now on the 360....

No, this isn't a post about how throwing is cheap. I'm not really happy about being thrown as much as the rest of yas, but my complaint is somewhat different. Why the hell did they have to change the buttons you use to throw in this game? I am so used to the throwing system from games past where it's just close towards and a button. this two button horsecrap throws me off every time because no...

There are so many damn games for the 360 that I have yet to play and I sometimes make some bad picks when I am staring at the gamefly queue. I think my overall desire when it comes to this stuff, like everyone, is to pick the good ones. So like most people I look to review sites and other opinions to get a sense for what exactly is good. Well, you can't always rely on others, and sometimes if y...

So I rented Rumble Roses XX from gamefly as I was oddly curious how the game played. The PS2 game was not totally terrible, but this was complete crap. Now I know this is probably an obvious choice for crap, but let me explain. The biggest problem with this game isn't that it's a giant excuse to see virtual boobies or that the games wrestling engine isn't really all that hot. No, the biggest pr...

So, Picked this up yesterday and I have to say, other than a few annoyances with some character tweaks they did the games fan-freeking-tastic! The controls on the 360 aren't as bad as I was dreading, but then a few months with HD Remix helped that out. The matching service isn't terrible but it coudl use a bit of help from time to time. Having to pick quick match about 10 times before you get o...

So I really love the new Street Fighter that was released last month, however their matching service is pretty crappy. I know it's better than the stuff that was offered in the past but it still needs major work, especially in this era of online games. It usually takes on average 5-8 attempts to get into a match with someone that has a ping under 100. For those of you not familiar with how the...

Well, here's the bomb. Glad to see the place up and running. I was a fan of this groups previous work and was really bummed over what happened in the past. Anyhow here's to looking at the future and hoping I will in fact get a PS3 this year. Till then, I will have to have my new release fix on my PSP, in several months, when Sony actually starts releasing product for it, maybe.
