The Tester is a reality show made by Sony Computer Entertainment America, exclusively for the folks out there who play video games, more specifically, games that are on the PS3 platform. The series will feature numerous challenges for a group of gamers with one prize in mind - becoming an official Sony PlayStation tester . Basically, one of low tier and most difficult jobs that anyone can get i...
Even though 2009 didn't come close to 2008 in terms of the sheer number of high profile games that came out, it still did a solid run, with a few surprises as well. So I've thankfully had the opportunity to play enough video games this year to make up a personal top ten games to the year. Last year I did a similar post to this one, where I did more of an overview of my overall gaming experience...
After E3 2009 I took some time and thought about the future of video gaming. Not so much about the games, because right now I'd just like to watch from a distance this casual market that is slowly polluting the current video game market. I focused more on the consoles themselves and the medium on which games will be delivered in the supposed future. I remain tormented about my indecisive nature...
Criterion recently released Big Surf Island, an amazing piece of downloadable content, that really shows how DLC should be handled. And when I speak of how DLC should not be handled, I'm talking about DLC being announced before the actual game is released, which has happened with a few titles, but I won't go into detail. All I have to say is, that Criterion knows how to please their Burnout com...
I've been playing a lot of inFamous. So much, that I didn't have the time to write about it on sogeek. If you've read the reviews or even know someone that owns a PS3, then you know it's an excellent and well polished game. The only weird negative comment I have on the game is the fact that you can't walk. And by walking, I mean literally walk. You can either run or sprint. In most open world g...
I am currently a furious man. Furious at my anger towards Valve, a game developer that I hold in a high position in my heart, alongside Ubisoft and a few more. Why I am I angry, I ask myself, well it's pretty clear, is it not. It's Team Fortress 2 we're talking about, and the last major event that occurred was the release of the Sniper and Spy class updates, that included numerous new weapons,...
Godfather II The Video Games has been an interesting spectacle. I'm not implying that I finished the damn game, just that the game has been in amusing terms with me. I do hate it without a doubt, but there's this sense that there could be so much more to this game if the developers followed my detailed instructions. Which would be delivered through a major 2GB large patch later on. It would sav...
I got the week off, which means my days will be split in half. In the first half I'll be working with some side projects and preparing for some finishing sequences in May and June at work, and in the second half I'll be gaming. Since I barely get the time to play anything during work week, you'd think that I would be rational about which games to play out in this tight schedule of vacation. Wel...
Resident Evil 5 arrived on the 26th of March. On the 12th of April I have beaten it. I feel complete. So complete. After hearing many negative nitpicks, I stand untouched by them. Sheva is a good mule and the inventory system was... passable. After last year's magnificent burst with Resident Evil 4 on my PS2 which featured one of my longest play sessions ever, approximately 10 months (I don't k...
