2007-09-13 15:41:00 I actually think the Gamevideos Trail er turned out better. It seems to have better resolution- which becomes very apparent in full screen mode.

Panzer Dragoon Retrospective---awesome article
2007-09-12 16:26:00 I have just read one of the best retrospectives about a video game series ever.

Panzer Dragoon Retrospective---awesome article
2007-09-12 16:26:00 I have just read one of the best retrospectives about a video game series ever. It is all about Panzer Dragoon..one of the most underappreciated, undersold, and overachieving franchises of all time. While it is heartbreaking (Panzer Dragoon Saga Code is lost...meaning a port will probably never ever happen), it is very interesting and engaging story. You can read it over on 1up here:http://www.1up.com/do/minisite?cId=3 162472I only hope that we will get a Panzer Dragoon Saga Emulation or true sequel. Panzer Dragoon really has wings and would prosper if given the chance. Saga on Xbox Live would be a dream, even if very unlikely.Check out our look back on Saga a few months ago here.

Storked Video Game Trailer is up on You Tube
2007-09-11 20:24:00 I've finally slapped together a trailer of Storked! I think it turned out pretty good. I didn't include everything, but I have a pretty good variety in there. Hopefully, it gets across the basic gameplay despite the video being somewhat choppy. I guess it's a lot for my computer to run the game...

Hopefully, it gets across the basic gameplay despite the video being somewhat choppy. I guess it's a lot for my computer to run the game and record video.

Puzzle Fighter II HD Remix Review
2007-09-06 20:34:00 This is a VERY addictive game. If you even remotely liked Tetris, or Dr. Mario, you should download this game. I should also mention that Y and Z modes are for wusses.Graphics: 9/10Pros: The gems and puzzle pieces look stunning in this HD version. Nearly perfect 2D graphics for a puzzle game- pieces are easy to see and effects are entrancing.Cons: Puzzle Fighter s could've used some redrawing instead of simply smoothing.Gameplay: 10/10Pros: Slap Tetris and Dr. Mario Together with some Capcom characters and you have one addictive game. The X modes are MUCH better than Y/Z and have a great risk/reward mentality....do I explode this large gem now that's filling up most of my screen...or do I wait and make it even bigger...only to lose because my screen has been attacked and filled with gems. This game takes the addictive play of tetris and adds in an amazing competitive edge. One of the best puzzlers ever.Sound/Music: 8/10Pros: Music is catchy and addictive and sound effects are visce...

Halo 3 is very NEAR
2007-08-30 14:22:00 Halo 3 has gone gold. Which means they are starting to churn out and manufacture the millions of preorders they have received. There's also a handful of new revealed features such as: The Flame Grenade! This bad boy blows up with liquid fire- very cool and much needed since 6 grenades just wasn't enough....8 is way better.To keep within the theme, there is also the new Flamethrower, which is held like the Missile Pod at the hip and slows you down. Should be great for defending that base on high ground though.New Equipment includes the Radar Jammer seen above that jams enemies motion sensor and folls them into thinking they are being hurt. There's also a portable sheild generator (think what the jackals use), a shield regenerator (power drain backwards), and a flare (blinded by the light).New maps have been revealed and there's also the Forge which is an interactive map editor where you can switch into a monitor (guilty spark) and add vehicles, weapons, etc. on the fly and then s...

BioShock Xbox 360 Review: Shockingly Good!
2007-08-27 15:04:00 I had no intention of buying Bioshock. Yeah the graphics looked great and it was getting some buzz, but it had no multiplayer and Halo 3 is coming out in a month or so. Then I played the (painfully short) demo and wanted more, and when the first stellar reviews started coming in, I was sold. Bioshock is a great single player experience, probably the best FPS single player experience I have ever had. Yes, it's that good.Gameplay: 10/10Pros: A perfect blend of RPG elements into a FPS. Extreme flexibility in the way the game is played...you can strategize and set traps, use plasmids (magic attacks), hack machines to do your dirty work, research every creature as a photographer, specialize in weapons, or just go guns blazing and focus on twitch gameplay. It is absolutely fantastic. Add in amazing enemy AI, a fantastic story, and stat building and you have an incredibly addictive and fun game.Graphics: 10/10Gears of What? Bioshock is a gorgeous game...simply play the demo and by the tim... More About: Xbox , Review , Xbox 360 , Good , BioShock

Transformers: The Game- The Typical Movie 2 Game Experience
2007-08-20 15:43:00 Let me start off by saying this:Don't play this game if you love the transformers: Play this game:Transformers the game is a rushed game tie-in to the spectacular summer blockbuster. What makes it even more pathetic is that the Atari Transformers game released a few years prior on previous gen systems, played better, looked better, and was 10x more fun despite it being based on the new Armada tv shows versus the old classic material. Go try the old Transformers game out, it's a nice gem and a great value since you can probably get it on ebay for $10-20.Let's keep this review short and stick to the points:The ability to play as nearly every character from the movie is coolPlaying as decepticons is niceGame play is repetitive and absolutely rushed: Each level is an open sandbox world a la GTA except all you can do in it is smash stuff, collect cubes, and play stupid side fetch games. The openness of the worlds is just not fleshed out, which leads to all the main missions (which take... More About: Movie , Experience , The Game
Glory Days 2 Review
More articles from this author:2007-08-20 14:37:00 What a surprise! That's really the best way to describe this game. I wasn't even aware of the first game, but after I saw some action packed clips of this game I wanted to give this game a whirl. I'm glad I did because Glory Days 2 combines hectic arcade action with strategy game elements.Gameplay: 8/10Pros: Very Unique and different gameplay. Distinct vehicles with different gameplay mechanics and strategies, hectic arcade action- combination of helicopter rescue and sidescroller shoot em up. different time periods, tons of weapons, etc.Cons: Touch controls are awful. In long play sessions, gameplay can be repetitive. Difficulty can be frustrating since you usually lose because your army is stupid, not because you get shot down...it keeps you playing though.Graphics: 7.5/10Pros: Tons of action, fast gamespeed and metal slug-esque graphics. Fantastic Parallax backgrounds give real depth.Cons: Certainly doesn't push the DS's power and your planes look pixelated when they c... More About: Review , Glory Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
