    Bayonetta 2

    Bayonetta is one of my favorite games of the current gen cycle. I loved the polished controls and the crazy (but well written) story kept me engaged until the very end. I hate to think of all the gamers who didn't give the game a chance because they thought it was just an overly sexed up game...

    What new features would you want to see in the next gen consoles?

    The main thing I want to see on the next-gen consoles are for the manufacturers to create an ecosystem where more MMO's can thrive. MS is a perfect example where they were never able to come to an agreement with MMO developers regarding sharing revenues. Sony on the other hand ha at least...

    Poll: Do you finish games you don't like?

    I'm currently having this problem with Dark Souls. The first 17 hours were great- knuckle biting excitement kept me going- however, at this point the difficulty spikes are getting the best of me. The thought of playing the game after a hard days work is a turn off when I'm tired and...

    Dark Souls: Initial Thoughts

    I'll be the first to admit that I suck at this game. As AlternatePFG pointed out, I didn't understand the consequences of the curse ailment until it was too late as I had some how managed to avoid the Basilisks all together while travelling through the Depths. I have literally died hundreds...

    Dark Souls: Initial Thoughts

    Here are my thoughts after 16 hours of play so far. I can't recall a game in recent memory where I have felt such a range of emotions while playing. At times I'm dreading the unknown around the next corner. At other times I feel like a bad ass while swatting down waves of enemies after I've...

    What is a feature or thing you want in an RPG that you've never seen in one?

    I would like to see my characters hair grow longer and clothing becoming worn on long journeys to add to the immersion. Its always bugged me that my character remains prestine throughout the entire game. It'd be fun to have a bit of a maintenance duties for your character. Such as hair cuts, etc.

    Does the 3DS "hang"?

    I felt the same way when I tried the demo version at my local Best Buy. The 3D tweaked out my eyes and I felt like it was more of an annoyance than anything else. My biggest dissapointment however was not the 3D technology but the horrible graphics. I truely wonder how Nintendo thinks they...

    Poll: Ps3 backwards compatibility petition

    Educate me on this guys, I understand that the hardware backwards compatibility of the "fat" PS3's have been discontinued but I thought the slims still had "software" backwards compatibility- similar to xbox360- where it works on an emulator. Does it not work?

    Favourite JRPG, go!

    All time favorite here is Final Fantasy 3/6. It's probably the game I've sunk the most time into outside of Counter Strike and WoW. My first game was Dragon Quest 3 in Japan- not sure if ever released here in the U.S.

    New phone, ideas for game related txt/ringtones

    I use the Star Mario sound for a Ring Tone as well. However I do 1up sound for text and Mario being damaged/shrunk for incoming emails.

    Thoughts on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

    I used the search function and could not find any threads on this topic, so I apologize in advance if this topic has already been discussed. I was thumbing through the upcoming release dates and ran across Castlevania Lords of Shadow which has a release date of 10/05. I saw several trailers...

    Halo: Reach - Does it meet expectations?

    I have not been disappointed in a game to this degree in a while. After hearing from several sources of how good the game was, I took the plunge and purchased the game along with 2 of my buddies. Having played through Halo 3 coop when it was first released, I could not shake the feeling that...
