First of all this is not a "Giantbomb now sucks" blog. No way. Was it better back in the day? Yes. BUT it still is one of my favorite places to get entertained. I love every single member of both the Beast and West teams. I will always support them in any way I can. What I tune in almost religiously is the podcasts but I like using the podcast app on my iphone to consume them. I might switch to...
So Sonic Mania got delayed from May 2016 to Summer 2016. I have two things to say about this: I am sad and I am happy. So I am sad because I really want to play this game. Simple as that. I'm a huge Sonic fan and of course this game evokes the older Sonic games that we all can agree that were the best Sonic games. Some are even more hardcore and call them the only good Sonic games. I do like So...
So here it is! I have moved from written blogs to Vlogs: Here it is! Its mostly just a hobby of mine to talk about games as I'm sure most of you on this site will understand. I've always wanted to make videos about video games ever since the old Gamespot days when Jeff and the gang were there. So thanks to Youtube any random idiot like myself can grab a mic and camera, record some gameplay foot...
Ok so I'm no writer but I have some thoughts on Nintendo's new console. What's in a name First of all the name. I think it's fine and don't really have any other idea other than Snap. I'm sure that would be a bad idea though since Snap also sounds like something breaking. Also you know people would just not shut up about Pokemon Snap. I never played it so I really don’t care about it. The only...
There is now no one on this planet that shares my love for Giant Bomb that is close to me. My cousin and best friend passed away due to cancer. He was only 31 years old. He was my Ryan Davis. I was his Jeff Gerstmann. We went to almost every PAX Prime together and we had a blast every time. Death is something that I thought would never come and pay me a visit. Distant family members have died o...
Sonic Adventure 2 is still a game I enjoy to this day. I know haters are gonna hate. BUT just listening to the music of each stage gets me pumped to play it. With the release of the XBLA and PSN version I decided to try it out again. I don't do much these days so I decided to look back at something I had not done in a long time. Well actually two things: write about games I play and complete (1...
It's been a while since I've had anything to write about, now with the quest system and spare time I have all I need to blog away. I want to write about something I have been doing for the past 2 months and a half. I moved to Los Angeles and am attending the Los Angeles Film School in Hollywood. Now I like movies but that's not what I signed up for. They have a Game Production program and I am...
I wanted to celebrate this milestone in my gaming life with a special game. First it was gonna be with the expantion to Phantasy Star Universe since I already got all 1000 points of the singleplayer. But my girlfriend got me 50 cent: Blood on the sand and my plans changed. It was hard to choose what game would get that honor, I love both games. Jeff's review of the game so far is spot on, it's...
Yeah... It's firmly established that Sonic has seen better days. We all know that and get that since well, some say he started slipping ever since he went 3D. I think that's n ot the case since the two Dreamcast games were really good and I should just stop repeating myself. I really didn't wanna try this game out but I had a free rental at Blockbuster and said: "well, I'm sure as hell wont pay...
Video games and movies are a big part of my life. Movies stir the emotions in so many ways. You can feel romance, nostalgia or you just be flat out going huh? Those are the things that review what I saw this week in terms of movies. Three great movies that I think are worth checking out and you probably already have at some point. Past the point of no return... Risky Business Risky Business Fir...
Oh man I gotta finish this #6: Kingdom of Paradise (PSP) Now this game might come as a surprise to people. First, this game got really good reviews, like 8's and 9's as far as I saw. But I still think this game is really bad and for really dumb reasons. The game is an action JRPG, just the way I like em. The story revolves around a guy who gets exiled from his clan. While he's on a break a riva...
Here I go again, the next 2 games that I should have stayed the hell away from. #8: Goldeneye: Rouge Agent (DS) Back when the DS first came out there wasn't a whole lot of games to get. This is what happens when you have little to choose from. I got this game thinking: "It's a FPS with touch screen controls". Yes this game is that but where this game falls apart is in the hit detection. Sometim...
I don't have that many games in my collection but man I've made a few mistakes. I tend to take a visit to the bargain bin to see if I can find some gems here and there. But it's just like digging in the dumpster, you find a lot of junk. I'll try to make this in some kind of order but the only one in this top 10 that has any kind of rank is #1. Here we go. #10: Shadow the Hedgehog (XBOX) After S...
Town Meeting Song - The Polyphonic Spree This song is so great in the movie, probably my favorite. It's really up there with the best I think. BUT this remake just makes it no justice at all. It's barely got any music in it at all. It's god awful. Don't like it. It's gone from my ipod. 0/5 Jack and Sally Montage - Vitamin String Quartet Don't remember if this is in the soundtrack but all the di...
One of my all-time favorite movies is Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Back when if first came out I was a kid and I really couldn't appreciate much of what this movie had to offer. Now that I take a look back at this movie one of the best things about it is the music. Deffinetly some of Danny Elfman's best work. I recently came across a new version of the soundtrack called "Nightma...
Damn you Gargoyle! Where to begin with this game. Somehow for me it was news when the PSN store was available on the PSP and I got some games off of it since I don't have a PS3 yet. Ultimate GnG was one of those games that I just kept saying to myself that I would get it later. Later has now come and I downloaded this one off the PSN store. One thing I gotta say is that this game gets no love a...
At my lunch brake I decided to take a look at some demos that came out for the Xbox 360. I only have about an hour to play some games so what's the point in getting into something that doesn't have a save point right away. Try the game! NOT! Halo Wars Halo is back. But this time it's in RTS. I can't play this game, I really wanted to give it a try but it just keeps freezing. Fuck this game, it...
So this week i decided to go PC. I'm not really into PC games that much, I've been playing WoW for a while and decided to take a break and look at some games I might have missed. So when the id pack went half price on January I did what any reasonable person with $35 would do. This pack is loaded with a bunch of games and I played mostly the ones I remember being really fun when I was a kid and...
Back to the SOTN art thank god This week we'll take a look at the latest Castlevania game for the Nintendo DS. The game plays very similar to the other ones on the DS but it makes a number of changes that don't really change things that much but are pretty sweet. The other two games before this one had a very different art style that although it was at it's core, castlevania, it was way more an...
Welcome to the first edition of my game of the week. I don't have that many games but I got a few I wanna play or beat sometimes. So I decided to just random on my collection and write about it every week. This week, is well, Jet Set Radio Future for the original Xbox. The game is a sequel to Jet Grind Radio for the Dreamcast were the implementation of Cel Shading was brand new and now seems ve...
I just beat Sonic Unleashed. There you have it, why the reason for the tittle of this post. But instead of a review, I just wanted to get off my chest the fact that playing this game even as a big Sonic fan that I am left with a feeling that I can't explain. I was one of those kids that after seeing Sonic for the first time on the Genesis I was all like "screw you Mario". Though I still enjoyed...
