Killer, Dude. Killer.

August 30, 2006 by Tim

Saint’s Row came out yesterday. I think it’s a blast. Especially the multiplayer. Online mode has some connectivity problems, which I trust they’re getting worked out, but once they do I think that the multiplayer for this game will be amongst the best on the 360. Blinged Out Ride is my favorite mode, as it […]

Xfire Chat

August 29, 2006 by Tim

I’ll probably mention this a few more times over the next week or two, but I wanted to put this up here before I forget. Some of you may remember that we did a live chat with Xfire last November, and it was a lot of fun. They’ve invited us back again, and so we’ll […]

I’m having a blast with the Saint’s Row multiplayer. Blinged Out Ride is the best mode. I created a Ctrl+Alt+Del gang, if anyone wants to join. We can roll together, yo. It seems like you have to be on my friends list for me to invite you, so I’m trying to keep spots free. Send […]

Viva la… new store!

August 28, 2006 by Tim

You know what? Fuck David Blaine. I was playing Dead Rising survival mode, I was up to two and a half days. I had just stocked up on enough grub to last me twenty hours holed up in the bookstore. Maybe a whole day. I have my TV in split screen so I can watch […]

Licensing

August 26, 2006 by Tim

It has been explained to me that certain car companies will only allow video games to use their cars if their cars cannot be damaged. Seems they don’t want their precious automobiles viewed as anything less than mint and perfect. I understand, and it makes sense, but that doesn’t make it any less stupid in […]

Viva La Revolution

August 25, 2006 by Tim

A couple of new demos hit XBL recently. Just Cause is sort of like a revolutionary GTA. And not revolutionary in that it recreates the genre, but revolutionary in that you play as a revolutionary. I wasn’t all that impressed. Some of the features, like stunt positions on vehicles and the acrobatics were cool, and […]

This is a joke, right?

August 24, 2006 by Tim

This is one of those gag sites whipped up to fuck with people’s heads, like those Bonsai Kittens, right?[Update] General consensus is that it’s a joke. That’s what I thought too. Because otherwise…  I want one…Also it appears we’re killing their server. Sorry!

Zero

I’m planning to pick up Saint’s Row when it drops next week. I really enjoyed the demo released on the XBL marketplace. However, in contrast, my best friend Toby played it and wasn’t too impressed. The difference between us is that I never really gorged on GTA: San Andreas. I think I played for maybe […]

Pretty in pink

August 21, 2006 by Tim

Brian showed me some pictures of Transformers from the movie, and I am not impressed. Prime with tribal flames? Give me a break. As I told Brian, I’m fine with them updating the bots for the movie, but don’t make them look like monsters. Sheesh. If you’re in the BF2142 beta and want to catch […]

Transformers

August 20, 2006 by Tim

They’ve announced the bots which will appear in the film next year. No Soundwave on this list. Good. I’d rather they left him out completely than fucked him up entirely.

Needs more water

August 18, 2006 by Tim

So a game came along yesterday and managed to distract me from Dead Rising. Actually, it’s the only game on the planet right now that could distract me from Dead Rising. I’m talking about the Battlefield 2142 beta, and I’m really excited to help test and fine-tune this game. Unfortunately, there is an NDA, so […]

Erm… yeah

August 16, 2006 by Tim

I was going to make a new newspost today, but I soon realized that everything I talked about eventually swung back around to Dead Rising. And I really need to shut up about that game for a couple of days.. Even though I maxed out level 50 on my third play-through and got the Genocider […]

Pieces and peaces

August 14, 2006 by Tim

Looks like Ethan wasn’t the only one who hadn’t heard about E3’s “revisions”. I’ve been getting a lot of emails today from people who hadn’t heard the news. I’d like to say I was making it up, but I’m not. I just finished my second run through Dead Rising, getting the Overtime Mode and the […]

Sheesh

August 11, 2006 by Tim

So I’ll admit… I gorged on Dead Rising the past couple of days. I was trying to get work and stuff done, but all I could think about was running zombies over with a lawnmower. So I figured “why fight it?”. I completed my first run through the game last night, so I’m hoping that […]

Kick the undead in the back

August 9, 2006 by Tim

I’ve been spending some time with the Dark Messiah: Might and Magic demo so that I could relay my impressions of the game. I think my impressions can be summed up in one word- wow. While I don’t think the game approaches the scope or open-endedness of Oblivion, for instance, it does a lot of […]

So late. So very late.

August 7, 2006 by Tim

I actually had a dream about Dead Rising last night. That’s fucked up. The demo for Saint’s Row has been growing on me. At first it didn’t seem all that spectacular to me, and even after playing for a while it’s still nothing revolutionary. It’s nothing GTA hasn’t done already, for the most part. But […]
