Good news to all metal fans. Slipknot has announced that original founding member Donnie Steele to replace the late bassist Paul Gray. A statement from the band reads: "Donnie was in the band at the very beginning, and rather than get an outsider we thought it would be a fitting tribute to Paul to play with someone from within the family. Donnie was great friends with Paul, and we can't think o...
Keiji hates his job? Believe it or not, that's what the Mega Man creator said during a recent interview with Kotaku . "I hate it! I want to retire early and take it easy." Shocking, isn't it? I guess being a game producer is not as fun as you'd hope it to be. Heck, I would gladly be his replacement. What do you guys think?
I'm sure many of you have seen or heard many games that received numerous game of the year awards, included in several nominations and voted by fans to be the best of the best, but for some reason, you've never played them before so what are they? Here are some games that I've never ever played before in my life: (P/S: Please ignore some of the underlines below. They're glitches and I'm not sur...
It's a day early but I just want a give a quick shout out to the legendary game programmer, John Carmack , who was born on August 20, 1970. Happy 40th birthday, Master of Doom ! It's also worth mentioning that Fred Durst, the singer of Limp Bizkit who everyone loves to hate, was also born on the exact same date as Carmack. Isn't that amazing? Two people born on the same day, month and year, and...
I'm proud to own the first three Resident Evil games ( 1 , 2 and 3: Nemesis ) including 4 and 5 - all PC versions. The first trilogy is rare and hard to find but I managed to get them (still in their original packaging) but with an expensive price. However, it was all worth it and I couldn't be anymore happier. The only problem is playing them. Since 1, 2 and Nemesis were made during the late 9...
Mainstream music nowadays is so boring and dull. They lack soul, meaning and good beats. Now it's all about money, fame, sex and gangsta wannabes. Today's music is dominated by all these clubbing and R&B artists, and they suck. I hate them. I basically stopped listening to the radio a few years ago because all I hear are just utter nonsense. Same goes with music videos. All I see on MTV are art...
It is with deep regret that I have been informed that Slipknot bassist Paul Gray has passed away today on the 24th of May. The cause of his death is yet to be revealed, which I am eager to find out real soon. He was only 38 years old. Slipknot has been a part of my life since their debut in 1999. Their music, energy, and image are truly inspirational to me and have affected my life in positive...
This is something I've been thinking to myself: which games have the best shotgun ever? It can be pretty difficult to answer that question since everyone has their own experience with different games and we all have our own taste of what a real boomstick should be. This is my personal pick: Boom, baby! Doom : What can I say? the shotgun from the original Doom is the best. No matter if the enemy...
Yup, you heard me right. Just wow!
I admit, video game chicks rock and Rachel from the Ninja Gaiden series is no exception. Rachel is my favorite video game chick with Kasumi and Mai Shiranui being second and third respectively and for good reasons. She’s strong, voluptous, sensitive and simply hot! That being said, a japanese toy company called Kotobukiya made a few Ninja Gaiden figures to complement with the XBOX title way bac...
I’m currently hooked with the games on my iPhone. Street Fighter IV is surprisingly good. I’m not sure how Capcom is able to squeeze all the contents into one handheld game but whatever the case, it is awesome. Playing as Ryu and Ken is always the best choice especially if you a Hadouken expert since the 90’s era. It’s a funny experience for me to play the iPhone version because I still haven’t...
I just finished System Shock 2 for the PC today and it took me five consecutive days to complete it (Lost quite a lot of sleep). After defeating the final boss, I felt so exhausted and drained out because of the level of difficulty in this game. I never expected this game to be hard and long but it really is hard. Here are some of the things I find so frustrating in System Shock 2: The Enemies:...
2009 has been good to me for the most part and I hope 2010 will be better and a promising year for me. I missed quite a lot of good games last year which I'm very disappointed. I missed Uncharted 2 , Modern Warfare 2 , Assassin's Creed II , Killzone 2 and many other games that probably ends with the number two. However I did play Batman: Arkham Asylum , Resident Evil 5 , Left 4 Dead 2 , Ghostbu...
I was just watching two of Uwe Boll's movies last month and goodness gracious me, did they suck. I guess the critics were right after all. Uwe Boll's video game movies really suck so bad. Not only did the films stray from the source materials but also the acting, dialogues and production were awful. I'm no film director but when I watched his movies I was correcting the films in my head telling...
Hey guys, Just wanna tell you all that I've added a musical playlist in my profile complete with some of my favourite songs including some memorable video game tunes as well. Other than that, I've also submitted tons of trivia questions and other stuff for GiantBomb. Hope you enjoy them. Later!

The website is developed by the same people who designed GiantBomb so you may feel comfortable and right at home with its functions. Once you've joined...
