Contra 4 feels fresh while at the...[Read More]
Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack Launch: Disappointing
Ok, so this morning before heading out the door I decide ill take a good 30 minutes to download and try out the new Halo 3 maps released today. So I go to the marketplace and see the Map Pack available and think “SWEET!”. After payment to Microsoft for more points the download of the map pack went without a hitch. “SWEET!” Then I start up Halo 3 and see that access to the n...[Read More]
Halo 3: Heroic Map Pack Video tour
Video no longer available (originally hosted on GameVideos). The whole “blank Foundry map, you make your own stage” shit sounds weak to me. Im paying 10 bucks so at least give me a default version of the Foundry map with objects already in it AND allow me to make a custom one in forge. All bitching aside im still getting those new maps. HA!
Thoughts on Last Nights Video Game Awards
The VGA awards were pretty pointless in my opinion. It was like one HUGE commercial… no… it was like all the mini product plugs formed to make one HUGE commercial like Voltron or some shit. They actually skipped the announcement of many important award categories (like best action game) and yet made us sit through awful Kid Rock and Foo Fighters performances. Also noted that there were...[Read More]
Afro Samurai Game and Live Movie In The Works
Video no longer available (originally hosted on GameTrailers). Namco now has rights to publish two different “Afro Samurai” video games over the next five years. The games better be as great as the series. Im hoping the RZA will be involved in the sound for the game as he is the anime. “’Afro Samurai’ is a visually striking and rich story.” said Jeff Lujan, business directo...[Read More]

Street Fighter 4: First Screenshot Revealed
Things are looking up. The gameplay is strictly 2D so it wont be a Soul Calibur style 3D game which was my biggest fear. It appears that there will be 3D effects with a 2D playing field. The art style looks beautiful. I have always been more of a fan of the Third Strike visual style than the Alpha series. Dont get me wronf though I love the Alpha series. I just think the Capcom vs. SNK and Third s...[Read More]
Zero Punctuation: Assassin’s Creed Review
Video no longer available (originally hosted on VideoEgg). Yahtzee gives Assassin’s Creed a bronze. Not bad and not good. Funny review nonetheless.
Bang The Machine: Street Fighter Documentary
This video is no longer available. Search YouTube for “bang the machine” Bang The Machine is a documentary that follows top American Street Fighter players training and then battling their way to Japan to gain respect in an international SF tournament. Where can I get a copy? It looks great in a way similar to how King of Kong was great. Also check out this Tech TV Report on “Bang The Machin...[Read More]

After winning a beam katana in an internet auction he becomes ...[Read More]
