I am currently on reading break from school. Since I haven't played a new game in a couple of weeks, I hop on over to the local blockbuster and rent Killzone 2. The reason I went with this game is because I usually play RPG's and I like to ...

Over the past couple days, I've been feeling this weird sense of unease. It feels like I've been missing something that I am very accustomed to but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. This feeling felt like a sore spot that needed rubbing...

First off, please excuse me for such a terrible title. It was too cute not to put up. I found out over the past couple days that Dragon Age would be getting another slew of DLC on launch. Some of it you get by preordering at participating ...

SPOILERS FOR GAMES AHOY I played two games this year that tricked me into thinking that the game was going to end but then carried on to the true ending. For some reason, I find this immensely pleasurable. The games that tickled me bawls (...

Reading through the comments in the article that Mr. Holmes wrote on Kamiyama's views towards women (http://www.destructoid.com/bayonetta-dev-to-one-woman-all-other-women-are-enemies-191213.phtml#commentbox) brings to light 2 disparate view...

I've been thinking back on the past year and the games that got released during that time. There have been some heavy HEAVY hitters like Mass Effect 2 and Uncharted 2. I noticed, however, that the games that I enjoyed the most were not the ...

I wasn't sure if I should post a question like this just to satisfy my curiosity. From what I understand, blogs are supposed to be well thought out contributions to the site. Still, this is probably the best community to ask my questions wi...

So I finally picked this game up over Steam. Going into The Witcher, I thought that this game took a different approach to RPG narrative and gameplay than other recent RPG's that aimed to be traditional such as Dragon Age. I think that I wa...

Guy gamers love it when they get treated to a sexy digital piece of ass. I may just be speaking for myself but I think that it’s a perfectly natural reaction to have your blood pump a bit faster when you are presented with a woman who is sc...

I decided to to get my snow tires put on today but when I went down to Canadian Tire they told me that they were booked up. Thinking that I should make the most of my trip, I went over to the nearby Best Buy to do some Christmas shopping. T...

I'll just start this off by saying that this blog won't be too gaming related. No, I'm not going to be bashing the uber macho ten year olds who pervade Xbox Live, although my train of thought did begin with them. No, this essay has more to ...

I've had this idea in my head for a couple of weeks now to write about one of my most beloved pieces of music, the MGS theme. The problem is, I'm not sure how to quantify my feelings in relation to a piece of music. I can't talk about the m...

Have you ever played Street Fighter? If you were born prior 1995, then you've probably had the experience of playing Street Fighter 2 over at your older friend's place. And getting horribly decimated and crying about it (at least ...

Yep, Gainax never loses. Ever. Whether it be FLCL, Karekano, or TTGL, Gainax always delivers. Except for Evangelion. That shit scared the crap out of me. Anyway, some simple, to the point first impressions. Screenshots of this anime don't ...

First off, I'd like to say that Valkyria 2 was excellent on the PSP. Besides graphics, everything was improved. Thus, I feel that Valkyria 3 on the PSP isn't a bad thing. It seems like Valkyria 3 is gonna go dark. Like, WAY dark. In place ...

Before anyone cries dead horse please let me get some details out of the way. This post isn't to state my stance on whether I think games are or are not art, I just want to speak about my first experience with a game that really stopped me ...

This is just something to satisfy my curiosity. How many people got the reference and pun of Bob Sagat? A little info, Bob Saget was an actor on Full House and used to be the host of America's funniest home videos. Sagat is a Thai fighter (...

The recent unveiling and demonstrations of Kinect and the 3DS have made me realize that the future as seen in movies are coming upon us. A lot of us have seen Minority Report, right? In that movie, we get to see some government agent type d...

CQC. Close Quarters Combat. When I played MGS games that feature this technique I couldn’t help but feel that CQC goes deeper than just snapping necks or dropping dudes. CQC in the Metal Gear universe serves as a means of differentiating th...

I'd recently read some material about people's experiences with gaming and how it affected them. Following this train of thought, I pondered about how games had affected me in the past. My most recent memory would be with Valkyria Chronicle...

MAJOR VALKYRIA CHRONICLES SPOILERS I recently picked up Valkyria Chronicles (Oh really?) and I'm having a blast with it. No other game has made me feel both utter hatred for the game mechanics as well as elation when I succeeded in ...

Heroman is an anime set in America. Hoe-ly-shit. Visually, everything is quite really crisp and extremely well animated as expected from studio Bones, if you've seen Eureka Seven then you'll know what I mean. Also, the setting is very refre...

Chris "Fascinating" Hu, the man of a thousand quotable lines, has lost everything in a fire. Chris is an avid Street Fighter 4 player who has over a decade of fighting game experience. Losing not only his house but also his and his family's...

I'm pretty sure that we all grew up with some kind of role model. The leaders of our respective countries, the Lone Ranger, Superman, people who our parents told us to be like when we grew up. Personally, I had role models like Robocop and ...

Just like to share an experience similar to Max's. If your looking for witty insight into the gaming community or a well thought out argument then this ain't it. This is just a story I wanted to share. Read Max's blog on gaming community if...
