Games I Look Forward To In September

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Hey, i know we have been seriously slacking, but no more. Here are the picks for the month of September:

 

Spiderman shattered dimensions  The buzz around the new Spidey game is huge and is probaly one of the most anticipated games for the last quarter of the year. 4 different Spidermans? Thats……..32 legs!?!?!?!?!?

 

Sports Champions Taking a hint from Nintendo, Sony now has their own Motion Sensor Parapheil. Called the Playstation Move, you wield to controllers (just like a Wii-Mote) and use them to compete in carious sports, like volleyball, archery, and table tennis. Sounds familiar, huh?

 

kingdom hearts  The prequel to all the Kingdom Hearts games. Promises to reveal and answer all the mysteries surrounding the game. Who are the 3 Keyblade wielders? Why does one look like Roxas? Why does the other look like Zack from FF7? How did Mickey get so bad ass?

 

dead rising 2 Sequel to one of the most greatest zombie games ever. This time, your a contestant in a game show trying to win enough money to find a cure for your daughter. Throw in the ability to combine items together to make new weapons and 2 player Co-op and you got a hell of a good time.

 

halo reach And last but not leastm we have Halo: Reach. Supposedly the biggest game of the year, will Bungie be able to send the Halo franchise out with one last Hoo-rah or is this another excuse to milk the public for money. All I know is that one way or another, I will be getting this game.

Games I Look Forward to in January

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Welcome to the Year 2010 folks.  As we bring in this new years, we also are bringing in a bevy of new games.  Lets see what we have in store for January.

Bayonetta A game i have personally been waiting for since a small article about it appeared in Game Informer.  Looks like SEGA’s getting its groove back with this one. If you havent heard of it, download the demo on Xbox Live now.

TVC_FOB First it was Super Smash Bros. Brawl, now the Wii is getting a brand new fighting game.  This much anticipated title has recieved an incredible fan base overseas, can it do the same here?

Xbox360owp_INTL3Party_temp.indd How could you not want to play this game?  You not only get to play as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Mark Hamill also does the voice of a wise cracking ghost.  Mark Hamill!!!!!!!!

Divinity 2 Our very own Nitsu dman near traded his soul to get this game. You take on the roll of a dragon slayer in training in an epic rpg fantasy. Fans of Fable and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion will enjoy this one.

No more heroes 2 Sequel to one of the most over the top, insance Wii games to date (other then Mad World). Promising 10x more craziness, a must buy for fans of beam sabers.

Games I Look forward to in November

200665b  The sequel to one of the greatest FPS’s on the next gne console to date.  Promising tons of new quirks and other additions, will it be better then its prior entry?

 

200674b Another sequel (what is this, the year of the sequels?)  to one of the greatest third person action games i’ve played.  The first Assasin’s Creed was amazing, this looks to be better.

 

_EAx360SLP  Another sequel.  The first was completly out of left field and was hailed as one of the best multiplayer experiences around.  the second will be better, i hope, cause it was kinda rush.

Games I look forward to in October

200611b  featuring the voice talents of Jack Black and legendary rock artist, this game is not only funny, but kick ass as well.

 

200636b finally, tekken has come to the next gen consoles and more importantly, to the xbox 360.  will this 6th entry be the one to destroy all previous entries?

 

200699b  unknown to many, i’m an avid fan of wrestling.  last years SVR 09 sported the create your finisher feature.  this year’s entry promise’s 100x more content then featured in previous titles.  all i got to say is see you at Wrestlemania!!!!!!!!

Games I look forward to in September

190978b  the first soul calibur game to be released on a portable system.  best thing about it?  you can play as kratos.  nuff’ said.

 

200666b  sequel to one of the best multipalyer beat em’ ups ever.  based on the secret and civil war storylines, pick a side and go to war.

 

200630b  the hype around this game is ridiculous.  even though its a minor substitution for halo 3, this game still promises to be an halo expereince like none other.  after what bungie did with halo wars, i have faith in them and this game.

Games I look Forward to in August

BM_Coversheet_PS3.Gamestop   This game claims that it will put an end to the dreaded Batman game curse.  From the looks of the demo, it will.

 

190547b  This game has spread like wildfire all over japan and if the clips seen on youtube are true, then i can see why.  Now we can finally have the question people for years have been asking:  Who’s the bigger a**hole, Sephiroth or Jecht?

 

200618b  I really don’t look forward to this game, but its a definite money maker.  Be ready to watch most of your friends desert you in the middle of matches just to go back to the 100yd. gridiron.  Are you ready for some football?

 

230607b  Yes, we have four picks this month (thanks to Madden 2010).  This is the console version in the Spectrobes series.  Spectrobes is sponsored by Disney and involves you digging up minerals and fossils of monsters so you can resurrect them, raise and train them, and then fight with them against alien forces.  The DS version was very well done, so I’m banking on this version to be even better.  So if your tired of Pokemon and looking for something new, look no further.

Games I look forward to in July

This month, we’re dedicating the picks of the month to XBLA games.

There is so much hype over this game its not funny.  Now if we can only hold out for a little longer.

346544_1_hs The Warriors: Street Brawl

This game is based off the popular The Warrriors franchise.  Four player side scrolling brawler action.  So come out to plaaaayyyy.

images  TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelledimages2

This is the first in what i hope to be a long line of classic side scrolling brawler remakes.  The picture above was the original version while the below pic is the redone version set for release on XBLA this month.  Now if they would re-do Double Dragons/Battletoads and make it 4 player co-op, then life would be perfect.

Games I look forward to in June

200366b  Shaping up (literally) to be one of the best sandbox games out there.  Forget Infamous.

200523b  Fully destructible environments, Construction vehicles that look like Transformers, and a really cool hammer.  Is there a reason NOT to buy this game?

200607b  Based off the actual movie franchise.  You get to fight Marshmallow Man.  MARSHMALLOW MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Namauri Game of the Month(ish)

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

Namauri’s Game of the month is…..

Ohhhh lightning :D

Ohhhh lightning >:D 9/10

INFAMOUS!!!! Ok most of us would love super powers lightning is one of the more populars now thanks to infamous. You start off as a character Cole who survived what looks like an atomic blast who soon masters such powers as using lightning (Emperor Palpitine Style), calling down a lightning storm(yes its bad ass), making a lightning shield, throwing sticky lightning grenades (i think some one played a little to much halo while developing the game :/), and biodraning enemies thru lightning. Overall the game has had a few glitches like finishing a mission and nothing happening like the game will not continue >.<. But my final verdict is the game is a solid 

Pros:
1. Cole’s climbing ability
2. Using the environment for kills and such
3. Well endowed aiming.
4. Powers Balanced Perfectally.
5. Excellent Story

Cons:
1. To many enemies
2. Insane accuracy and damage
3. Repetitiveness of fighting enemies
4. Power Development Cost
5. Lack Good and evil side missions and decisions

Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Monday, May 4th, 2009

 

I am looking forwerd to this game in july on my birthday

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is the final game in the Marvel VS Capcom series, and a fan favorite. With a simplified button layout and changes made to combos, MVSC2 appeals to players of all skill level. Originally released on Dreamcast, PS2, and Xbox- MVSC2 is available for download on Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.

Games I look Forward to in May

270262b  I may not have a PS3, but I still can’t wait to play this game.

200628brp  Finally, a game based on a movie that does it right.  Looks very brutal and is full of action.  What else do you expect from the man known as Wolverine.

200625b Based on the upcoming Terminator film, this Gears of War clone promises to offer plenty of T-1000 slaying action.  And from the looks of it, i think its possible.

Bosaka’s gaming purchases this month =)
