The second Dungeons and Dragons movie. My mom rented it for me because this was right after I started getting into fantasy stuff. Looking back on it now, it was really, really bad. Not Alone in the Dark levels, but still pretty bad. The dragon in it was SO BADASS but died because of a plant god...

We all have regrets in life. We wish we'd asked that girl to dance, we wish we'd been nicer, we wish we hadn't told that teacher to go to hell. So, if you could re-live your life, or just a few specific moments, what would you do different? For one, there's a few people I need to tell to...

I've yet to really run into the demographic that is both young and pricks. Once in 360 Team Fortress 2, but one of my team members (this was in the pre-game lobby) said, very loudly and in a "I will brook no FUCKING nonsense" voice: Shut the fuck up. It worked. He didn't leave the game, but he...

Every sports game made in the history of forever. All of my friends own at least one, and I would rather watch my House DVD collection be burned in front of me then play a sports game. If you want to play basketball, then go buy a damn basketball! It's cheaper then NBA 200X I can promise you...

Ah yes. Run to the Hills. I kinda just banged on the red pad and made sure to hit the others and the bass pedal. Sure I was in the red for most of the song, but I passed it and got the Achievement for completing the Drums on hard, so I'm not complaining. As for the vocals, I have to disagree...

Like Rock Band, but with a different title. Seriously, a different drum kit, and a possibly new guitar controller aren't cutting it for me. I've never been big on "Create Your Own XXXXXX" interfaces apart from the character ones. That's only (barely) acceptable because I like seeing myself...

World of Warcraft. As I mentioned a short while back, I loathe MMOs. Just pointless time sinks you have to pay for in my book. Wow is so bad for this as it's so addictive that everyone sinks so far into it, losing money and their lives in the process. I played Wow, and apart from the human male...

Make that four. I'll stick him in front of Guitar Hero 3, set up TFATF on Expert, hand him a normal controller, and say that I'll let him go when he FC's it. We tried. Some guys sent flowers and a huge handwritten letter in an attempt to make peace with the guy. He called them terrorists...

A co-worker of mine beat the Drums Expert solo career easy because he's been a drummer for several years. I think the drumming comes down to two things: Having your arms and leg work independant of each other, and having the perfect sense of timing, as I assume that's what drumming is, keeping...

MMORPGs, or MUMORPUGUS if you prefer, are bloody everywhere these days. WoW is obviously everyone's favourite right now. Hell, a friend of mine has four level 70 characters, and is working on a fifth. This entire craze has honestly passed me by. I don't own WoW, or Tabula Rasa, or Hellgate...

Sorry mate, but I just can't agree with you, and not because I reviewed Rock Band first. No offense is meant by this, just trying to get that out of the way now. I found it lacking in critical areas, such as the other instruments, online play, and what it's faults are. You mentioned it had...

Resident Evil 4. I used to beat that game at least once a week for over a year. I got up to like 35-40 playthroughs. Whenever I see the first line of dialogue in a cutscene, I can still pretty much rattle of the rest of the speech before it ends. It just never stopped being fun.

Evolution Worlds: Cookie cutter story. Lame characters. A main plot point that was resolved within the first three dungeons. And a combat system that blew ass. It wasn't a terrible game, just a stupid one. The Sims: Yes, yes I know how many people love this game, but I think it's dumb. As in...

They actually came out with a drum stool like the ones real drummers use. I thought it a laugh because it said "Compatible with Rock Band." For the life of me, I couldn't figure out why a stool couldn't be compatible with the game. Yeah, in the game, it sometimes offers little hints to...

This is it kids, I'm reviewing a major blockbuster title. I'm free to be lynched Tuesdays and Thursdays. /end bitching As Yahtzee put it recently, summer time is the great gaming drought. After GTA 4, the next huge, huge title I can think of is obviously MGS4. Other than that, I can't think...
