Hey. Reviews! "London Calling"(Album) by the...

Hey kids! How y’all been? Good? Fantastic, because I’m giving you an album AND game review. Let’s start with London Calling. Yes, this epic album made by the Clash in 1979 is quite honestly, my favorite album of the moment. I can’t stop listening to it, and trust me, I tried. Each track brims with personality, and it skips genres quite a bit, from pure punk (London...

Hello. I am currently having an issue downloading the Scout, and the Sniper vs Spy updates. I have tried following all the steps on the “Download stalls at a certain percentage” support topic (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6966-IADH-1503), except for the router step requiring me to directly plug my computer into the modem. My computer is on a different level of...

OnLive :: GDC

This is huge. Well that’s an understatement; MONUMENTAL. OnLive, allows you to play virtually any game, on virtually any PC or Mac, or any TV. ANY Besides the fact that looking at those three letters together look weird after awhile of staring at them, you don’t need a high end PC or Mac (not like Apple makes very many low end computers), and with a console you buy from the company...

Killzone 2: Second Thoughts

I guess the game just takes some getting used to. You will need to spend several hours of getting your ass handed to you, before you get 5 kills in one 30 minute round.

Killzone 2: First thoughts

Singleplayer: Fun yet the story isn’t compelling for me. Multiplayer: 2 fucking bullets is all it takes to kill me? I spend 5 magazines killing the other damn guy! If this game is this fucking difficult, then at least give me a chance to fire one bullet into my own head dammit!

Team Fortress 2 update 12/11/08

Team Fortress 2 got a somewhat big update last night. It didn’t really focus on any one particular class or game mode, but there were very noticeable changes. I was playing last night (eGO servers or NO HEROES I usually play on), and there are mixed reactions to the update. Here is the update information Valve gave us last night, straight from the big dogs. The Engineer’s...

PlayStation Home Open Beta

I should have said something on Monday, when I learned about this, but I have a trigger finger for Team Fortress 2 at the moment. PlayStation Home is now officially in open beta, and is going to come out with it’s final release within the next few week. This doesn’t go to say that it won’t have patches, it will; these will have bug fixes and other garbage too. I own a...

The Orange Box Official Soundtrack →

In the spirit of all the recent Orange Box reviews, I bring to you the iTunes Plus album for $9.99. All the songs are rather short, but all 19 of them are deliciously deviant as the games they belong to (though I can’t say I enjoy Half-Life 2).

Quantam of Sol-ass!

So now were doing movie reviews? how about the much anticipated James Bond: Quantam of Solace? Let’s begin First off, this is no where even close to a bond movie, it’s more of a sequal to casino royale. He keeps trying to find out more about these people who made vesper kill herself in the first one and well i can’t dwell more into that without ruining it. The movie dwells more...

Oh Hai Again (MOVIE REVIEW)

Sorry I have not posted a new entry in a while. I know the ten people who read this missed me dearly. SO! What new games are out right now? Well, there’s the much anticipated Gears of War 2, I know all the 360 gamers (myself included) who did not shell out 60 bucks for it cannot wait to play it.

Slow…

Yeah, the Gears need some oil. However, in 2 weeks these engineers will get a break from normal life, and start the motors running again. In other news, if you own any Source game, you can get five mods (games using the Source engine) for free, IF you have Steam. Zombie Panic: Source is pretty cool, but I have yet to try the other ones.

Birthday Present

Rowedahelicon on Steam just bought me a copy of Audiosurf. Basically the premise of the game is you can pick just about any format song, and you race along a track with rectangular blobs you hit (they look like gelatin to me). More of an arcade game that doesn’t have any background story to it, unlike TF2 which does have a little background story; psychopaths working for 2 competing...
