Project Natal for XBOX 360 coming this Holiday Season 2010
Posted in gadgets/gizmos, vgmx, video games on February 26th, 2010 by Vel-Cro Man
You Are the Controller.
Introducing Project Natal, a revolutionary new way to play: no controller required. See a ball? Kick it, hit it, trap it or catch it. If you know how to move your hands, shake your hips or speak you and your friends can jump into the fun — the only experience needed is life experience.
Parents Just Don’t Understand
Posted in funny, music, rants, video games on February 25th, 2010 by gunsage
Are videogames art? Naturally, a lot of us would say yes, but then that’s because A) we’re biased and B) we can cite examples. Now, because of B, we would assume that we’re right and would likely shove that in peoples’ faces that “don’t know any better.” However, perhaps there’s some truth to videogames not really being art. I’m going to be looking at this from multiple angles and comments, so try to keep up.

In Which We Learn About Silent Hill…
Posted in reviews, video games on January 21st, 2010 by gunsage
***DISCLAIMER*** I’m not the most knowledgeable person to ask about Silent Hill beyond my own personal playthroughs of them. With a survival horror genre, that would normally be enough, but there’s enough symbolism, in-jokes, and general creepiness that unless you own and solely run a wiki on it or you were the lead designer, you would still have no idea what the hell while those that do have a silent chuckle at your futility, much like trying to explain Killer 7.

Bayonetta – Xbox 360 – Mature
Posted in reviews, video games on January 15th, 2010 by gunsage
I’m not going to lie…this is going to be very hard to review. All I really want to do is just say it’s the best action game ever and leave you with a 10, but that wouldn’t be very fair, nor would it really speak for the game. So the first thing I’m going to do is the toughest: try to find things I didn’t like about Bayonetta. You better appreciate this, because it’s killing me.

In Which We Learn About Final Fantasy…
Posted in reviews, video games on January 14th, 2010 by gunsage
Back in the 80s, if you asked someone what they thought of when you said RPG, you’d probably get punched and called a nerd. Of course, if you asked a gamer, they might’ve said Final Fantasy. Or Dragon Warrior. BUT BUMP THAT NOISE, FINAL FANTASY. One of the first 10 games I owned for the NES was Final Fantasy. Dragon Warrior came later, but SCREW DRAGON WARRIOR ACTUALLY.

Obvious Reviews – Episode 1
Posted in funny, rants, reviews, video games on January 12th, 2010 by gunsage
I’ve been inspired to start a new review series because the holidays are over and I’m BROKE. In this series, I’ll be reviewing games that are obviously awful for a variety of reasons, even if they have their good points, and further drilling into you WHY they’re awful from personal experience. Today’s Shake n Bake with shards of glass covered in super AIDS: The Incredible Hulk for the XBox 360.

Assassin’s Creed II – Xbox 360 – Mature
Posted in reviews, video games on January 11th, 2010 by gunsage
Ahh, this brings me back. If you’ll recall, Assassin’s Creed the first was one of the first reviews I brought with me to VGMX. A couple of years later and several people telling me I’m wrong and having to argue my points about the original and there’s a brand spanking new Assassin’s Creed out. Will it fall into the same criticism as the original or does this trek through Italy have what it takes to really catch peoples’ attention?

Critiquing the Critic?
Posted in funny, rants, video games on January 9th, 2010 by gunsage
I had an epiphany the other day that I want to share with you. People have opinions. Strange, isn’t it? Such a weird and foreign idea that we might all have differing opinions about things. But before we delve too far into what an opinion is, we have to start with what a fact is. You know what a dictionary is, right? A dictionary is a book. Okay yes, there are online dictionaries too, but that’s besides the point.

Under the Scope – Episode 2
Posted in movies/tv, rants, video games on January 8th, 2010 by gunsage
Cutscenes. Everyone has an opinion about them. Some people hate them altogether and wish developers wouldn’t use them as a crutch. Others enjoy the cutscenes as long as they’re done “properly.” Still others, myself included, would like to know what is proper use of a cutscene. And still others would like them to be done away with altogether, citing that several of the older NES games didn’t use them and often wouldn’t even have text.

Phantom Brave: We Meet Again – Wii – Teen
Posted in reviews, video games on January 7th, 2010 by gunsage
If anyone’s been following my articles since 2004, get a life. Also, you’ll acknowledge that this is technically a re-review, if you will, since when Phantom Brave originally came out on the PS2 I reviewed it then. So why review it again? Well, there’s actually a bevy of articles I plan on doing that take an honest look back after the hype, sticker shock, and whatever else wears off and see what I think about the game, but also there’s no way to really go back and read my masterpieces as Project Wonderboy is but a distant memory these days.

The Saboteur – Xbox 360 – Mature
Posted in reviews, video games on December 23rd, 2009 by gunsage
Grand Theft Auto 3. Sure, there are a lot of reviews where I shift the player’s attention to a well known and understood franchise like that on a regular basis straight out of the gate, but I’d like to bring yet another one to the table: The Godfather. Okay, now Assassin’s Creed. And now I think I’ve gone too far, so how about World War 2? Not making any sense? I will. Probably.

Borderlands – Xbox 360 – Mature
Posted in reviews, video games on November 24th, 2009 by gunsage
Borderlands has been associated with such phrases as “The RPG and FPS had a bastard child” or whatever. First off, that’s Fallout 3. Secondly, that’s Bioshock, System Shock 1 and 2, Deus Ex, and so on. I mean really, I just don’t get why a developer, any developer really, would ever claim something that stupid. So what new ground is this game treading to even make that audacious claim?
Loot, classes, and skill trees. Actually, if the marketing team was more in tune with the developers and their “dope funky fresh and fly programming skillz fo rizzle,” they should’ve summed it up as “Diablo 2 got made out with an FPS and it kinda looks like Dark Cloud 2, which I guess is an unintended but interesting side effect. Oh, and hey, there’s 4 player co-op, too. Yeah.”
Top 5 Reasons Why Adventure Games Are Extinct
Posted in rants, video games on November 23rd, 2009 by gunsage
As many of you know by now, I’m a long time gamer. This doesn’t mean I’m necessarily the best at them or whatever, it just means that I’ve been playing a little longer than your typical audience of gamers nowadays. Adventure gaming started in the 70s, though most of the best adventure games were made in the 80s, shortly before the decline in the 90s, and the virtual extinction of the…well…whatever the hell we’re calling 2000 – 2010 (probably the 2000s or some crap like that).

You Will Never Win – Multiplayer Gaming
Posted in rants, video games on October 22nd, 2009 by gunsage
Perhaps I’m being a little too forward, so allow me to explain. I’m hoping that with YWNW I can illuminate different unfair situations that could be adjusted, but most likely won’t, and definitely screw the consumer in a way that you’ll never win. This doesn’t necessarily have to do with gaming, though obviously it will in this episode. Today I will be discussing why you will never win when it comes to multiplayer gaming.
The first thing I want to ask is what was the first game you played with online multiplayer? Were you the first person on your block to be playing the game? No, probably not. Were you the best person on your block playing the game? Eh, probably not that either. Are you currently the best person on your block playing the game? I think you can see where I’m going with this.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger – Xbox 360 – Teen
Posted in reviews, video games on October 9th, 2009 by gunsage
If you know what BlazBlue is, chances are, you already own it. For those of us that have no idea what it is, though, feel free to read on. BlazBlue was made by the same developers who brought us Guilty Gear and if you don’t know what that is, shame on you. In any case, I’ll assume you have no freaking clue what Guilty Gear is and just crawled out from under your boulder domicile to grace yourself with my review, so here goes.
