First Impressions: Balled of Gay Tony

2009-11-02T20:44:00.003-07:00

I received a download code for the Balled of Gay Tony from some publishers last week and started playing that today after getting a hold of a copy of GTA4. I've only played about ten minutes of the main story and around two hours of the online multiplayer. Here's what I think so far:Delivers exactly what you'd expect from a GTA4 add-onThe new character is pretty cool and his relationship with

I need to write more here

I plan to start up more stuff here. I have a download code for Balled of Gay Tony to dive into, that should give me some stuff.

Review: Halo 3: ODST - 8

2009-10-10T11:34:00.001-06:00

Halo 3: ODST is a first person shooter set in the Halo universe and prequel to the original Halo 3 game. The controls and overall game play are very similar to Halo 3 but ODST contains enough new features to make this feel like a new experience. However, the similarity between the two games can cause ODST to come up a bit short. You play as a no-named Orbital Drop Shock Trooper who, along with

LOTS has happened in the way of achievement points and me in the last two weeks. I finished playing all of the games from my last update and got a whole bunch of new ones for this time. I'll run through these in the order I played them.Armored Core 4This game was awful and has one of the worst user interfaces I have ever seen in a game. So bad in fact that I had to turn off my game due to it and,

Review: Wii Sports Resort - 9

2009-08-17T22:41:00.001-06:00

Wii Sports Resort is the second game to feature the Wii Sports name and improves on everything from the first one. The main difference is the inclusion of the Wii MotionPlus peripheral that comes packaged with the game. Using this allows for a much higher level of sensitivity and really makes playing the game feel great. The 1:1 controls make you feel like you’re performing the actions more than

Can't wait

2009-08-14T14:43:00.002-06:00

I think finally preordering this game has gotten me at the level of excitement I should be. I simply can't wait for it now and plan to be spending many a sleepless night working through it.Here's a video from Kotaku showing some of Batman's gadgets at work.

Review: Splosion Man - 8

2009-08-05T11:25:00.002-06:00

Splosion Man is a 2D side scrolling platformer where you make your way through some of the hardest and mind numbing levels ever imagined. There are a total of 50 levels to play in the main campaign and an additional 50 for multiplayer. The game presents itself nicely with sharp graphics and good humor but can begin to become quite tedious and frustrating very quickly. Armed with the

These last two weeks were a big one. Some new games, some old ones; just a lot in general.Gears of War 2I played quite a bit, mainly this weekend due to the double experience awarded. I really wanted to get my online rank to 25 to get that achievement. Dark Corners was also released to the public so I could finally play with people. I mainly did Horde so I could work on those achievements. Since

Review: Halo Wars: Historic Battles - 7.5

2009-07-30T15:02:00.000-06:00

Halo Wars: Historic Battles comes with four new multiplayer maps along with individual achievements for each one. The maps range from specific 1 vs. 1 game play up to 3 vs. 3. Each map looks quite different and are set up to make any a good choice to play on. The four maps are Barrens, Blood River, Glacial Ravine and Memorial Basin. Barrens is the first of the four maps and is probably one of

Review: Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection - 9

2009-07-24T12:39:00.004-06:00

The Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection is a downloadable content pack that contains every map pack released and an all new deleted scene from the original campaign. The collection is broken up into five parts: the Flashback, Combustible and Snowblind map packs and the all new Dark Corners map pack along with the Road to Ruins deleted scene. Each of the map packs can be used for online

This week didn't have much in terms of the 360 for me. Most of my time was spent finishing The Conduit and getting my review up. However, I did receive some DLC codes in my email yesterday and have been doing a bit more.Tales of VesperiaAs my quest to finish this game never seems to end, I did earn a significant amount of points in it this week. Normally I would obtain around five points for two

First Impressions: Gears of War 2: Dark Corners

2009-07-20T23:54:00.005-06:00

Here is my current thoughts on the Dark Corners pack for Gears of War 2.The stealth mode is a nice addition though it feels odd. Nothing really stealthy about it besides 'don't shoot the bad guys'.Guns blazin' is much more fun and lasts a bit longer. There are also more twists and turns to this track and it fits in with the story better.The length isn't that long but since it's only one section

EA Sports Active Vs. Wii Fit Part 3

2009-07-20T12:42:00.003-06:00

Here we are now with the last installment to my comparison article between the Nintendo Wii fitness games: EA Sports Active and Wii Fit. Up till this point I have covered each game separately, describing how the game works overall and noting/listing the aspects I enjoyed the most or thought could use some work. This will be the main comparsion part of this three part article. I will talk about

2009-07-19T16:39:00.008-06:00

EA Sports Active and Wii Fit both say that they aim to make you lose wight and live a healthier life style. After working with both for a good deal of time, I've decided to write up a comparison article on the two games. In this I will be talking about things that I liked, disliked and anything that stood out to me for each game individually. Then I will do my fine comparison on which I would

Review: The Conduit - 5

2009-07-19T10:41:00.004-06:00

The Conduit is a first-person shooter that utilizes good controls but is riddled with bland and sometimes dull game play. It features a great control scheme by using the Wii’s motion controller in several fun ways but sometimes back fires when put against intense and fast paced sections. And though the controls may feel good for the most part, the majority of the game seems somewhat slow and plan

Level 5 announces an announcement

2009-07-16T21:18:00.004-06:00

I am a huge Level 5 fan. The first Professor Layton game on the DS is my all time favorite for the system and I loved Jeanne D'Arc on the PSP. The gameplay in these games wasn't the only great part either, the art in each was great. In fact, Jeanne D'Arc has one of my all time favorite box arts.Now Level 5 is announcing an announcement (stay with me) for three new games. They plan to unviel the 3

Xbox Live update

2009-07-16T21:04:00.003-06:00

So this Monday there will be an update to the Xbox Live service on the Xbox 360. From the list of new additions and features I find myself quite excited. Here are the things I'm looking forward to the most:Avatar MarketplaceNow I don't expect myself to buy ANYTHING from the store they're setting up but I like the fact that they're doing more with avatars. Hopefully this will lead into more game

EA Sports Active vs. Wii Fit

2009-07-12T17:23:00.000-06:00

Today I got hold of a copy of EA Sports Active. For the past few months I've been doing Wii Fit so I'm familiar with workout/exercise games. After a week or so of trying EA Sports Active, I'll most likely write up a comparison article on here between the two of them.

Review: Bit. Trip Core - 8

2009-07-07T14:38:00.003-06:00

Bit. Trip Core is the second game in the Bit. Trip series and changes the control style completely from the original Bit. Trip Beat. Like the first game, Bit. Trip Core features fast-paced and catchy chip tune music along with an old 8-bit feel to the graphics. It presents itself nicely but like its predecessor Bit. Trip Core comes off as very difficult and doesn’t have enough explanations. In

First Impressions: Bit. Trip Core

2009-07-06T20:11:00.004-06:00

This is the sequel to the WiiWare game Bit. Trip Beat. It involves 8-bit graphics along with catchy rhythmic chip tune music. It is a Rhythm game on the WiiWare downloadable service and goes for 600 points.As with the first game, the music is great.It is hard as hell! Exponentially harder than Beat - and if you played Beat, you know that's a big deal.Once again it does a bad job of telling you

I plan to play some more Gears of War 2 this week in preparation for the All Fronts pack coming out in about three weeks. The Conduit showed up in my mail box today. And last but not least, Bit. Trip Core is now out!This may be a good time to throw up a video. As crappy as the idea of filming my TV monitor sounds, maybe I'll try that, who knows. If I do film something, it'll probably be The
