Year: 2008

  • Halo Wars Gameplay Trailer

    I’m excited about Halo Wars, but I’m worried about the controls. Every single console RTS game I’ve played just hasn’t worked for me, it just seems like a mouse and keyboard are perfect for RTS while game controllers fail miserably. Hopefully Ensemble will get the controls just right because I really want this game to…

  • Castle Crashers E3 Screenshots

    The only thing I’m worried about is convincing Gmoney, Thrasher, and Robert to buy this game. I want to play it, but I don’t want to play it alone. I haven’t played a side scrolling beat-em-up in a long, long time… I love the artwork in the game, too. More images after the link…

  • Geometry Wars 2 Coming In August

    Geometry Wars was awesome. Something about the simple game play was incredibly addicting, and the graphics were pretty cool, too. I expect Geometry Wars 2 to be 2 times as awesome. We’ll find out soon as it will be available on Xbox Live Arcade August 6. In the mean time, you can look at a…

  • Gears of War 2 E3 Footage

    The best part of this video, to me, is the last couple of seconds. Horde mode – Five players online co-op versus wave after wave of Locust. I love playing online so much more versus NPC’s then just versus other humans. Unreal Tournament 2003 had “Invasion”, which is basically the same thing, everyone fought against…

  • Final Fantasy XIII Coming To Xbox 360

    Holy shit, this is great news. At the Microsoft E3 conference, it was officially announced by Square Enix president Yoichi Wada that Final Fantasy XIII is coming to the Xbox 360, and should be released alongside the PS3 version. That’s totally awesome…but I guess it sucks for Sony that’s it’s no longer exclusive. Also, Star…

  • Mega Man 9

    Capcom’s decided to go back to the old NES style graphics in their latest Mega Man game. Honestly, I think it’s a good idea. I pretty much didn’t like or play any of the Mega Man games after the NES/SNES ones, the series just wasn’t doing it for me. This, however, I certainly will pick…

  • Captain Rainbow

    It looks weird, so I’m interested and it’s being developed by Skip Ltd., who made Giftpia, this weird Gamecube game that I imported and tried to play even though I know absolutely no Japanese whatsoever. It would have been cool, though, the premise of the game was you overslept for your coming of age ceremony…

  • Wario Land: Shake It!

    I’m seriously all for 2D gaming making a comeback. These animations seem awesome, I just feel like when it comes to 2D there is a higher level of detail involved in the games. I’ll definitely be picking this one up, I never actually played any of the Wario games (except for one on the Gameboy…

  • Too Human Demo Next Week

    I don’t know what to say really, I mean cybernetic Norse gods seem pretty radical, and it’s developed by Silicon Knights, but for some reason I just haven’t been anticipating the game that much. However, with the demo now coming out my opinion might change, I’m definitely going to check it out. [ via IGN…

  • Luminous Arc 2 Announced

    Ah Luminous Arc…I own you, but I never played you. I wanted to, I really did, but there are just so many games and so little time. Now I have to deal with Luminous Arc 2, because it comes with a CD and for some reason I feel extremely compelled to buy games that come…

  • Square Enix E3 Lineup

    Square Enix has a hell of a lot of games coming out…interestingly, Final Fantasy XIII isn’t on the list, which kind of sucks but at the same time is OK because I don’t own a PS3 yet. Regardless, there are still a ton of great games coming out, the Chrono Trigger remake should be cool,…

  • Fire Emblem DS Screenshots

    Just a few screen shots for the upcoming Fire Emblem DS, including the box art. The game is a remake of the original Fire Emblem, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragons and the Blade of Light, with enhanced graphics and online play over WiFi, making it way more awesomer. There’s no word yet if it’s coming to…
