Remember Twisted Metal? It was the premiere franchise in the vehicular combat genre. The exploits of Sweet Tooth and the other drivers at the behest of contest holder Calypso built an interesting lore as well as a fun game. And what a...

I’m a big fan of the Twisted Metal series and one of my favorite aspects was the backstory behind the competition. Specifically I loved Calypso, the holder of the competition and possessor of great power which allowed him to gran...

Vehicular Combat Developed by Eat Sleep Play, SCE Santa Monica Studios Published by Sony Computer Entertainment Available on PlayStation 3 [played] Released on 2012-02-14 (PS3) The original Twisted Metal gave birth to the vehicular c...

This is going to be a short post because I only have something to say on one aspect of the game this time. I finally got a chance to play Borderlands co-op with two other people online. However, it was with two random people online. It...

Two weeks ago, I wrote a blog discussing my issues with the Legend of Zelda series. I said that while I really liked A Link Between Worlds, I found Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and even Ocarina of Time (which I completed and enjoyed)...

HD remasters and re-releases are all the rage in video games right now. Remember Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando? You can play that game on your PS3 in HD now. You don’t need the original PS2 version. How about Golden Axe? Yo...

I did not grow up with The Legend of Zelda. Blame my local rental stores who never had it available. I grew up on the SNES and I played Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, and other Nintendo classics. However, The Legend of Zelda: ...

I have now played Borderlands for 14 hours. I’m at level 23 and I just entered New Haven. I looked up online about how far I’m into the game and apparently, I’m somewhere around half way. This worries me because the s...

So I’ve played Borderlands now for several hours. I’ve gotten to level 18 and I’m about to go after Sledge. I’ve played Borderlands in the past on my 360 and even got to the second area. So I’ve played fur...

I’m going to try something different. I’ve noticed that a lot of reviews of video games don’t go into enough detail as to why the game in question is fun or enjoyable. They talk about how the game excels or fails in c...

Last weekend and Monday, I started playing a game that�s been in my backlog for a long time. I used to own Skate about a year or two after it came out but I never sat down and actually gave it a fair shot. So I bought it when it was on...

A couple of days ago, I posted a blog of me explaining how I get mad at video games sometimes while playing them and my attempt to understand why I get angry. I got a lot of responses across all the sites I posted that blog on, including De...

I was playing Skate yesterday on the Xbox 360 and I reached a point where I got really frustrated and angry. I started to yell at the screen and toss my controller. I say things like �Do what I tell you to do� and �Why aren�t you listening ...

I had a dream. No, it wasn�t this inspirational vision of racial equality, it was just a video game idea that doesn�t exist yet. I�m a big Mega Man X fan but I haven�t played a new Mega Man X game since the disaster that was X7. However, ev...

Okay, I�m just going to warn you right now that this is going to be a rant and it�s going to be a very long one. The more I think about this whole debacle with SimCity, the more angry I get. So I�ve decided to express this by presenting a ...

When I was but a wee lad, my family didn't have a lot of money and many of the video games I played were due to me renting them. Specifically, I went to this place near where I lived in Whittier, California called Fastlane Video and rented ...

The beginning of the new year means a fresh start to do something for yourself. Gamers will usually resolve to stop doing some bad habit they have that effects their video gaming. I have three myself and the first one is to complete games....

Wouldn�t it be cool if Electronic Arts released a collection of games they made for the Sega Genesis? The early 90s was one of the most creative periods for EA and they certainly weren�t the evil mega publisher they are today. The made som...

2013 is here and many people are attempting to predict what the year will hold for us gamers. That sounds like a good idea so I will do the same. Just for fun, some of my predictions will be serious while others will be in jest. See if you ...

I�ve been playing a lot of games as of late. Christmas was good to me as you can see by my two previous entries and I even managed to get Sleeping Dogs, and RAGE during the last day of the Steam sale and Red Dead Redemption for $20 at Walm...

This gaming landscape is going to be a bit all over the place because I was sick for about three weeks and I didn�t play too many games and instead just watched TV. Also, I�ve recently been listening to a lot of music because I like to hear...

and I will say that I have an abusive relationship with this series. I like and hate this series at the same time. It�s frustrating, especially when you play them back to back, like I did, or compare the two, like I�m about to do.I got both...

I�m a completionist. In everything I do really. If I try to fix anything, I won�t stop when it�s at least functional. I keep going until its working as its supposed to. In video games, I strive to get every collectable item, finish all the ...

The Tekken series has been a roller coaster of quality. From the heralded heights of its PlayStation era to the lukewarm waters of its more recent releases, Tekken has always managed to be good if not great and it started with the second e...

I�ve been in a shooter vibe recently. I�ve also been in a PlayStation 1 vibe but that�s another blog. I�m not a big fan of shooters. I�m not very good at them and many shooters tend to focus on reflexes rather than strategy. Not that havin...

So Call of Duty Black Ops 2 has been released to store shelves and this is the most excited I�ve been for a Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare 2. I don�t typically like the Call of Duty series or FPS games for that matter but the review...

A screenshot of a new Prince of Persia title was posted on Ubisoft�s forums yesterday afternoon and some eyebrows are bound to be raised as it pictures what looks like to be the new protagonist as well as the new setting. The man in questi...

I�ve been playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the first time on XBLA for about a week now. I haven�t reached the inverted castle yet because I�m trying to explore the entire castle before I go after Richter but I�m enjoying mysel...
