This article will go into me beating F-Zero GX's Story Mode this month on Gamecube NSO. However, it will also go into detail on my history with F-Zero GX specifically as I played it as a kid on the Gamecube and then me replaying it during my college days and compare the experiences then and now.
Welp, 2018 is almost over. As far as how 2018 was when compared to 2017, it certainly doesn’t seem to have as many significant titles as the past year. Certainly this year we got games with amazing receptions such as God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Monster Hunter World and so on. But it feels like the grand sum of 2018’s catalogue of games won’t be a memorable as 2017 wh...
A recurring problem with video games is that certain games tend to be revealed or announced way too early. Normally this is when the publisher and/or the developer makes an announcement for an upcoming game, whether it’s a new IP or a new entry in a series, and the game comes out 3-5 years after its initial reveal. Kingdom Hearts 3 is an example where it got announced 5 years ago, but it is exp...
Dragon Ball FighterZ has been making major waves in the fighting scene and for good reason. Arc System Works created a 3v3 fighter starring the cast of the Dragon Ball series that feels more like a spiritual successor to Marvel vs. Capcom 3 than Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite ended up being. While Arc Systems is known for creating technical and complex fighting game systems, this seems to be its m...
What a year 2017 was for video games. Many are drawing comparisons between 2017 to 1998 and 2007 as people are seeing it as one of the best years for video games ever. It’s honestly been such a good year for video games that it even got me to get way more invested in video games again. In case of anyone is wondering what I mean by my last sentence; I’ll admit that I haven’t really been super ac...
On December 7, we are about to have The Game Awards, or TGA’s, broadcasted online and people will see which games win certain awards. But perhaps the real reason why people turn in is not so much the awards themselves, but for the world premieres that Geoff Keighley tends to hype up. This year in particular Keighley has announced that there will be 13+ world premieres at this show. There have b...
Say what you will about Super Smash Bros, whether it’s a fighting game or not. If there is something that is undeniable about the series’ legacy, is it has created a local multiplayer experience that feels unique to its own. Its already a big draw amongst Nintendo’s IP’s because it has an increasingly large roster of either Nintendo icons or other game characters battling each other to no end....
About four months ago, Nintendo held a press event where it not only provided details for the now released Nintendo Switch, but revealed some new games for the system too. One of the games that caught everyone by surprise was Super Mario Odyssey. The game appears to go back to the gameplay style of Super Mario 64 and Sunshine where the levels are enclosed worlds and Mario is open to wander thes...
*Warning, this is a really long read. If you want to skip to different segments, you definitely can. Don't feel forced to read the whole thing Welcome to my second entry of this series where I draw parallels between two things you wouldn't think have much in common. And yes, you’re reading the title correctly. I’m going to compare Sonic the Hedgehog, a videogame franchise, to the Oakland Raider...
Welcome to a new writing series where I try to explain how two things you wouldn’t think are alike actually have a lot in common. As you can tell I’m going to compare the Kirby video game series to the Ratchet and Clank series. Of course, I’m not going to claim that the games an identical to each other. I’ll highlight a few similarities between the games, but I ain’t no fool, they’re different....
I did not know about this until today, but Spill.com had a Daily Spill show yesterday that involved Ryan Davis again. If any of you don't know what Spill.com is, Spill is a movie review website owned by Hollywood.com. The crew usually has reviews of movies in both podcast form and animated video form. They also have another podcast show called the Daily Spill, where two of the critics on the si...
Edit: I've been looking through the comments, and noticed that the trend went from the community saying fuck you to Spill.com to agreeing with the Spill crew that we need to get into shape and that this blog post was unnecessary. I was actually hoping to see what you guys think, and now I'm feeling like I'm changing thoughts on what I said before. I probably should of gave Spill more credit abo...
I have to say, this was some of the best E3's in recent years. It probably makes sense since this was a year where we had to know about the new generation of consoles coming out, but seriously, this was some of the best E3's ever. I did noticed some trends that I wanted to point out in E3 that came from not just the companies, but the overall coverage of the show floor. Here's my list of things...
If anyone is interested in seeing this new list G4 compiled a day ago, here's the link. If you want to see the list on G4's site itself, here's the link to that, but you have to go through the list by looking at one game at a time. When I saw this list, I couldn't help cringe at how its formatted. I will say that I'm happy with some of the games' rankings on this list, like Tetris being in the...
For those who haven't seen the only list I made, here's the link: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/mocbucket62/underrated-games-from-past-and-current-generations/46-74345/ Its a list of games I've not only played but feel have fallen under the radar over the years. Some games have came from the past generation like Armed and Dangerous, a third person shooter for the PC by LucasArts, others are...
Hey not to long ago, I got an IPHONE as a birthday gift and have been having a blast with the device. I've enjoyed doing the usual business with the device, from surfing the Internet to making bullshit requests to the IPHONE Voice Navigation. But I have also been playing around with a few games and made me think I could do some quick reviews for some of the games for the IPHONE and see if its r...
