Before I review ” “Dead Rising 2: Case Zero,” let me explain what it is. It’s a 400 point download that is supposed to serve as a bridge between the first and second “Dead Rising” games. It’s more or less a glorified demo, but it’s so much more. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Microsoft made a huge amount of profit from Xbox Live! last year, I can’t remember the number off the top of my head but it was released sometime this summer. So what do they do? They raise the freaking subscription from $49.99 to $59.99. As an adult, $10 really isn’t a big deal, but it’s still annoying. Here is the full announcement.
I want “Portal 2″ NOW!
The “Scott Pilgrim” game is way too hard & has clunky controls. I understand that the game in design is supposed to be retro beat-um up, but that doesn’t mean the entire game from start to finish needs to feel dated. Look at “Castle Crashers” it managed a retro feel, while still feeling slick and modern.

I’m unimpressed with “Starcraft 2.” I played it and the original “Warcraft” games back in the day. More than Sid Meier they really made RTS mainstream by being the best at what they did. However it’s twelve years later and “Starcraft 2″ doesn’t feel that much different from the original. It’s just a lot prettier.
The gameplay truly is archaic. It’s a lot of quick clicking, scrolling, more clicking, and more scrolling. There is no ducking for cover or the incorporation of any kind of game mechanic that has evolved in the past decade. It’s an old school RTS where strategy comes down to simply mining fast and building fast. There is no real strategy or tactics to the game!
Should you get “Starcraft 2″ The answer is pretty simple. If you are a PC gamer and like RTS then it’s a must have. In fact I’m sure you already have a copy. If you aren’t a RTS then stay away from the game. You’ll hate it.
My god, not since last year’s “Trials HD” have I found a game so frustrating! There is no skill involved with playing. “Limbo” i’s a pure platormer that’s structure in such a way that it all comes down to trial and error. You’ll get killed by something you didn’t know was there and sure the death animations are cool, but if I wanted to play a memory game, I’d play “Memory.”
The one thing “Limbo” has going for it, is it’s art direction, but you can experience that with a quick free trial. There is no reason for you to drop $15 for barely an hour of frustrating gameplay.
Goodbye red ring, hello red dot. When the new xbox debuts the RRoD will be no more because the only non-green led lights on it is a singular red one.
If I had a list of all time favorite games “Portal” would be on it. So needless to say I’m crazy excited for the sequel.
Microsoft’s big reveal of E3 is that “Project Natal” has been renamed “Kinect” and will hit shelves on Nov. 4th for $99. The problem? It’s a gimmick and a horrible way to kick off E3. In fact their whole presentation yesterday was pretty lame with “Fable 3″ “Gears of War 3″ and “Halo: Reach.” What is this, 2007? ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Heck yeah! Any other gamers out there crazy excited to so what stuff is going to be announced this year at E3? Of course what sucks is that any cool games that are shown off or announced won’t get released till next fall or later. The summer is by far the worst time of year to be a gamer.
One of the new modes in “Halo: Reach” is called ‘headhunter.’ Every time you kill someone you collect their skull and any skulls they were carrying. The odd thing is that sometimes the skulls shoot out of weird body parts.
What’s really exciting about downloading the new version of Steam for Macs is that it comes with “Portal” for free! Be warned. There are some glitches because half of my games aren’t showing up unless I switch over to the PC side of my computer.
Oh hell yeah. This is me getting a kill frenzy in a scorpion! (also notice the “Golden Eye” alarm sounds at the start)
One of the new things in “Halo: Reach” is armor abilities which include sprinting, jet packs, invisibility, and armor lock.
When you use armor lock, it freezes up your spartan armor making you invisible. This is great if you are about to be splattered or hit with a rocket. However it leaves you crazy vulnerable and it’s really easy to kill someone as soon as they come out of an armor lock.
