Cocky little 10 year olds who think their all big online even with a 0.5 K/D ratio

Long title I know but just saying it as it is. The other day I was on call of duty 5, when this kid with the highest voice I had ever heard turned is mic on, and was singing, like a bell end. I then tell him to shut up, but no, he continues, I get annoyed. “Mute him”, I say to myself, but no, it’s a new round, he’s on the opposite team and I want to hear… Continue

Three Cheers For The Same Old Story

Since mom was still in pigtails games have aspired to be like movies. And the result? Cool characters, engaging stories, great acting, beautiful locations, evocative music, clever camera-work, moody lighting... yep, games now have them all, too!

You only gotta take a look at the last Metal Gear, any recent GTA game, or the upcoming Heavy Rain (Scott Shelby is the best private dick in any media in years) to see that the holy grail has been achieved. Even Rabbids Go Home has some great… Continue

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be

What with quite a few new games just being remakes or belated sequels to 16 bit (if not older) games I was wondering what classic (or not so classic) games people would like to see be remade next? I for one am surprised that EA hasn't remade Road Rash.

Over protective parents

Why do some parents think its okay to stop their 10 year old son from playing super cool, bloody game? I don’t get it. “It may make him repeat the actions in the game”, “I don’t want him to be more violent”. That was some of the pathetic excuses these mothers may say. If you’re child plays a game and thinks I want to kill someone, then there child is a massive retard and the parent should have raised him better… Continue

Will Halo do it again?

Halo 3, one of the best games of all time...

and this is coming from a full-time Playstation 3 player (Part-time fanboy).

Many times I would go to my friend's house and hog his Xbox for the day

playing Halo 3 for hours on end. Whether it be forge mode or rocket race

you can bet I've searched and failed to find an experience that matches it on the

Playstation 3.

But on the 20th of October when my friend invited me over to play and complete the game in a day

I… Continue

Gamertags/Player ID

I, personally, cannot stand people that do the worst possible names for their gamertag/Player ID. I’ll be sitting in my bedroom, playing call of duty 4, waiting for the leader board to load, and I decide to see the names and I see BenJames171193. I don’t mind too much at people’s names, but sometimes I think people like that try to make the noobiest name imaginable.

I believe that when choosing a gamertag/… Continue
