Honestly, I'm not sure what caused it to start. I had no interest in it during it's hype period for the initial release and was even less interested after Patrick's review. I saw Dark Arisen on the PSN store and I already had some cash on there, had heard the improvements were decent and I was kinda feeling like playing an RPG where I could build a character. I figured, "Why the hell not?" I co...
I can't say I didn't see it coming, but it's finally really starting to become a reality. I'm engaged and I plan to get married this November. As wonderful as that has been, it had the all-to-easy-to-see conflict of how much of my free gaming time would remain exactly that, gaming time. At first it wasn't too bad, we lived in separate homes, seeing each other often, but I would still go home mo...
A new 2K, a new My Player career. Time to dust off those Jordans and get back on the hardwood for a new year of glorious basketball! So this time around I decided to not use my name and use a preset one so I could actually hear his name called in the draft and during games. Once I found that Hendrix was a name in the list, the rest just seemed obvious and so, Jimmy Hendrix was born. Unfortunate...
I love a big E3 as much as the next guy, but it couldn't just have been me that found this one of the most lackluster E3's in a few years. Microsoft continued to make us feel like Kinect is actually a new Xbox and more than half their press conference was devoted to such wonderful titles as Disneyland Adventures and Once Upon A Monster. Don't get me wrong, if I had kids I would probably be stok...
And what a story it is folks. Higgs has proved the doubters wrong and busted through the last of the regular season earning not only the Rookie of the Year award, but also the league leader in scoring! But you know, that wasn't quite enough for him. Hungry for more victory, he helped the Heat power through the playoffs sweeping the Cavs (who where the 8th seed) in 4 games and going on to face t...
Been awhile since my last update, but The Beast™ has been tearing it up on the court. Barring a minor twisted ankle that he played through for 3 games, I've been in top shape. I've been working hard and putting time in the gym on my 3pt shot and it's really starting to pay off as I've increased my season 3pt FG% from a measly 23% to 44%. My normal shooting percentage has also gone up to 54% for...
What a few weeks it has been! Higgs has been on the up and up, fighting for more minutes on the court. The coaching staff obviously know they have a potential star on their hands now as they've finally promoted me to a starter! Not only that, but my minutes have risen even after being named starter and now I'm playing 38 mins a game, the same minutes as LeBron and Wade. Our starting line up for...
After playing tons and tons of NBA 2K11 on Association mode (Go Bulls!) I decided to finally man up and go for the big leagues: My Player mode. Being brand new to the franchise, I initially scared myself away from this since i was terrible at the game and had to start out with such a crappy overall player. After a couple months of getting used to the game though, I feel I'm in a better place to...
Well, it's been sort of like a bag of jelly beans...the majority of them are delicious, with a few flavors that just twist the tongue a bit. This is very much a Fable game, that's for sure. All of the quintessentially British charm, wit and humour is there in spades. The voice work deserves special mention as it is uniformly fantastic throughout what I've played so far. The graphics, while not...
Most likely due to the fact that the game is released tomorrow, which means I'll get it Weds night due to my having to ship them in from the US. While it has it's flaws, Fable has always been a series I've enjoyed immensely. I'm hoping the tweaks they've done to the Fable II formula along with their new emphasis on story and cinematic quality will make this the most enthralling entry yet. Can't...
So it's my first NBA 2K game ever. I'm enjoying it immensely, but damn if the AI ain't a pain in the ass. I'm not really into putting it on easy or anything, so right now just trying to learn how to play. I'm gonna probably end up watching a lot of basketball this season as a result. Hell, that might even help me learn more about the real game and give me a better time in 2K. Still, excellent g...
Video games. Yes, they are awesome, but they don't come cheap. Now if you're fortunate enough to live in a country on a major continent, chances are it's not too difficult to get to a store and buy your games. Either that or have it delivered to your door by a friendly delivery person from the online retailer of your choice. I, however, do not live in a such a place. I live in Nassau, The Baham...
So I've been playing the hell out of Splinter Cell: Conviction since last week. I have to say, a lot of the negativity I've seen from previous fans of the series is unwarranted. Being a big fan of the series I was a bit wary, but it's nowhere near as severe as people make out. I've heard complaints about things like forced firefights....um, they had those in since the first Splinter Cell. The a...
