Saturday, October 20, 2007

GameSpot has coverage on the new Soldier of Fortune: Pay Back, and word on the street is that it’s just as gory if not gorier than Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix which was probably on of the goriest war games ever made (e.g. shoot someone in the eye, see half their head blow off). A [...]

Video Game Violence, AO, Manhunt and More, Part 2

Friday, October 19, 2007

Continuing from Part 1 of Video Game Violence, AO, Manhunt and More… As I mentioned this whole topic was initiated by an email from Noah Jacobs-Andresen that discussed a core point to the issue that I hadn’t considered before and one that I think made it much easier for me to think about this subject, and [...]

Video Game Violence, AO, Manhunt and More, Part 1

(Part 2 is here) We covered the whole Manhunt 2 debacle (getting an AO rating, and banned in the UK) a few months back and it was an interesting topic to cover. For those that don’t know, even though the UK flat out banned Manhunt 2, the “AO” rating it was given essentially makes it [...]

Ok so I just wrapped playing God of War on my new PS3, and the final take is: Freaking awesome. Even though this game is a PS2 game and looks a little dated, especially on larger HDTV sets, the game play and effects that you do so are so well done and so exciting that you [...]

Well, it’s out. Dead Rising has finally been released to the masses. So far the reviews are on par with what the demo presented: if you like killing zombies you will like this game. Obviously the game brings to the table the zombie killing aspect of zombie-lover’s-dreams-come-true, but let’s look at some of the other things [...]

Friday, August 4, 2006

Well it’s here, log into XBox Live (XBL) and start the downloads going. Some of the initial reactions are mostly positive. If it turns out to be fun I’ll have to eat my original assessment of the game for dinner. As I mentioned in the original post the most important thing for this game is to [...]

Dead Rising: Huge potential, little payoff

Wednesday, July 26, 2006

Well it’s official. I just received word that probably one of the most anticipated games (by me) this year is going to be a bore… Dead Rising. This game had huge potential, check out some of the screenshot, this game literally had everything: 1) Good looking women (one probably in distress, the other a real go-getter!): [...]
