I pre-ordered and purchased the collectors edition of MvC3. And honestly, I'm not really upset by Ultimate's existence. Sure, I might of liked to not have a new version of the game quite as soon, but I don't feel that ripped off. The cost of the characters alone would be $60 if it were...

The Dynasty Warriors series is my guilty pleasure of gaming. I know that every single iteration is basically the same game with a new coat of paint and a slightly different feature or two, but I can't help but to continue enjoying them. I've played a large number of games in the series (3, 4, 5...

My friend traded me his copy of Gears of War 2 (about a month after the game came out) for my seat on the couch at another friend's house. At the time, it was the only spot in the house that he could get an internet signal with his crappy laptop. Best deal I ever made.

Just to give you the other end of the spectrum, I found Darksiders average at best. Sure, the dungeons are alright. But the combat I found boring and much more stiff than the action games it is influenced by. It is a decently long game, so at about $20 bucks it's probably still worth it, but the...

Let's see, in no real order. Rock Band 2 - not only have I put hours upon hours into it, but I've but Microsoft point card upon Microsoft point card into it as well, and for the most part, I don't regret it. If I'm bored, I can always boot the game up and play for a bit. And I can play it in...

I was able to get a non-TE fight stick for $15 bucks last year, and while it's not as nice as a TE, it is fun to play with, more so than a normal controller. I'd recommend a stick over a pad. Full disclosure: I'm average at best at most fighting games, so my word may not mean as much as...

I do believe that Microsoft charging for a Gold subscription is fair and well within their rights. Microsoft provides a service to Xbox users, not just in online play, but for the entire infrastructure of friends lists, marketplace, live chatting, all that jazz. Certainly there are free...

I said it in the last DmC topic and I'll say it here: one of my favorite aspects about the Devil May Cry series is the over-the-top atmosphere. Even if the gameplay in this is akin to that of the previous entries, I just don't think I'm going to enjoy it as much as the previous games. There are...

I finished my first playthrough of Dead Space 2 just yesterday. Really good game, even if the last three or so chapters were kind of infuriating (this is more my fault for only using the weapons new to DS2 that weren't that helpful in the end, with very few upgrades in them no less). Since...

I try to get achievements whenever I can. It gives me something extra to do when playing a game and can help extend the life of said game before I put it away and never touch it again. Mind you, I don't usually grind out achievements for the sake of getting them (unless I only need 1 or 2 in...

I'm sure my opinion has been stated by others a million times already, but I'm going to reiterate why I'm not happy about the game. It's not about Dante's hair. I couldn't care less if this Dante had white hair, black hair, green hair, whatever. Hell, it's not even about his redesign in...

The Burnout series has to be my favorite. I love just about any game that's over-the-top, and a racing game where being reckless and even crashing is encouraged is right up my alley. F-Zero and Mario Kart are also fun - I really, really want a new F-Zero right about now. On the other...

In most cases, I really don't think it's usually an issue of money, I think, as said above, it's more about the graphics engine having to handle two (or more) screens. Some games are pushing the console's capabilities with one screen, so having to handle more instances of the game is just out of...

Offhand, I believe my Reach k/d was about a 1, give or take a couple hundredths. My Gears 3 beta k/d was 1.3. I really don't care about my k/d ratio. If I'm at or above a 1, then I'm fine. And if I drop below that in a match, oh well. Everyone has a bad match now and then. Just gotta move on...

I don't really abuse naming in a offensive manner. I sooner go the overly unoffensive direction. During my playthrough of Pokemon Soul Silver, any Pokemon I decided to trade via the GTS I first renamed Steve. That way I could spread a Steve army around the world. Similarly, I once pranked a...
