For what it is worth, I know what it feels like =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKBRG_QgEAM Just read some of the comments. I try not to take them too personally, but 1 negative comment can overshadow 100 positive ones. What really took the cake was a blog over at destructoid, that...

Can I just say, I am thrilled that someone else has at least heard of the Last Express. However, I can't say that I pine over the loss of full motion video. To be honest, with a 3D or animated character you are never forced to face the fact that it is really some budget-actor in front of a blue...

Hola, I thought I would rejuvenate my old post to update everyone here that I have a whole bunch of new game reviews available. As I have said before, please do NOT get angry at me for posting links rather than text reviews. As a film maker my review medium of choice is not compatible with this...

The removal of the second slot is to make room for the additional RAM. If you were unlucky enough to get the Opera web browser for the DS lite, it had a ram boost that went into that slot. They are just making it standard now.

When I start doing other things during the cut scene movies. Like I did in Metal Gear and Kingdom Hearts.

Can I also throw No One Lives Forever in for humor? It may seem strange to do in a FPS, but rather than gunning people down, I hid and listened to what they said first. That game had so many firsts, and it is so forgotten. First to have regenerating health and a non-traditional health bar...

This game is a horror game and parts of it are a bit tense. If that's not your thing. Then its also the only reason I know not to play it. Oh, that and owning a crappy graphics card.

To me, the best FPS makes you feel like you are part of something bigger and not just killing everything that moves as you walk down a hallway. This is probably best shown in the Call of Duty games where all around you things are happening and you are in no means in control of the situation...

If you care to think about it. Trading in your games only makes that game store richer. Every time they sell a used copy, its money in their pocket and not the developer. Recently I found a non-chain used-book/cd/movie store in my area and I am more than happy to trade my stuff there. Sure they...

I'll say it every-time. If the first 20 hours of a game is not fun. The next 20 don't make up for it.

You can consult my three films concerning my feeling behind this game, but of all that I've played, MS suffers the most from: 1. go there 2. kill 100 of those 3. and for no reason...

I will also add onto that Beyond Good and Evil. 1. Great Length (6-7 hours) 2. Great Characters 3. Wonderful Stylized Design 4. Excellent Music. Overall, a very solid weekend play.

And to answer your question. Since my games budget is next to nothing right now, I do a lot more research before buying a game. Sites like this one and GameTrailers give me pure unfiltered reviews and gameplay that I can compare before spending any money.

I mentioned this in another post in the other forum, but I feel that the true black hole in the industry is the rise in USED games sales. For every used game sold, zero $ goes back to the original source. If people cared so much about PIRACY, they should only buy NEW games thus intrusting that...

For those who are intersted, I have uploaded two new reviews. One for the racing game Drift City, and another for the MMOFPS Crossfire. Please let me know if there is anything I could do to make these better and please comment on their content the same way you would had I posted them in text...
