[Game Review] Borderlands (Xbox 360)
System: Xbox 360 (Also on: PS3, PC)
Developer: Gearbox Software
Publisher: 2K Games
Genre: FPRPG (First-Person Role-Playing Game)
I first heard about borderlands through a mailing list from Gearbox Software, the company behind the game. For months I waited eagerly as more information about this new FPS/RPG surfaced, and about how wicked awesome the designers promised it would be. Now that the game is finally out, I am here to inform you that it is, in fact, wicked awesome. Continue reading
[Games] Virtual NES
There are a lot of great flash game sites out there, but nothing beats playing the old classic NES games. Legend of Zelda, Super Dodgeball, Super Mario Bros. and many, many more are now available online. Virtual NES boasts a large selection of games for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. I now have more ways to kill time in my web-page design class than ever.
You can check out Virtual NES here (don’t worry it’s totally legal)
Now to get back to playing Contra.
[Game Review] I MAED A GAM3 W1TH ZOMBIES 1N IT (Xbox 360 Indie Game)
System: Xbox 360
Developer: Ska Studios
Publisher: Ska Studios
Genre: Arcade/Shooter
I don’t usually get into indie games, which are usually just prettier versions of games I could play for free on the internet, but something about zombies makes me do things I wouldn’t normally do. The title alone is enough to catch my attention, but the solid five-star community rating sold me. Oh, the $1 price tag didn’t hurt either.
There isn’t a ton to say about I MAED A GAM3 W1TH ZOMBIES 1N IT, as it’s certainly a simple game. The action is fast, the music is hilarious, and the concept is totally solid. That being said, it’s totally worth the 80 MS points. Continue reading
[Movies] Premiere Prince of Persia Movie Trailer
Super Mario Zombie
This was my costume last night. I was really proud of how it turned out, so I figured I’d share some pictures with you guys. The whole thing cost about $20 to put together, and most of that was on make up. I borrowed the bib overalls from a friend, bought the turtleneck for $8 from Walmart, and the cap is the Club Nintendo Elite prize. I did all of the makeup and such myself, and my girlfriend helped me make the gash out of clay.
There are more pictures after the jump.
[Game Review] Dead Space (Xbox 360)
System: Xbox 360 (Also on PS3, PC)
Developer: Visceral Games
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Genre: Action/Horror
It’s Halloween, and that means it’s time to go to a haunted house or two, go trick or treating, and play scary video games. There are a lot of games out there that try to scare you, and a lot (if not most) of them suck. Dead Space on the other hand, is one of the few games that manages to do this all too well.
This survival horror game for the Xbox 360 was released in October of last year, and received mostly overwhelmingly positive feedback. You may have already read Zac’s review of the prequel on the Nintendo Wii. If you haven’t, check it out here. Considering that it’s been a whole year, you might be wondering “Is it it still worth playing?” You bet your sweaty buttocks it is. If you want a game that will get your heart pounding, your jaw dropping, and your pants soaked, look no further. Continue reading

[Game Review] Brutal Legend (Xbox 360)
System: Xbox 360 (Also on PS3)
Developer: Double Fine
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Genre: Action/Adventure/RTS/Metal
Brutal Legend is the most recent project from comical genius Tim Schafer, the driving force behind critically acclaimed games like Psychonauts and Grim Fandango. Never heard of those games? I wish I couldn’t say this, but I’m not surprised.
For some reason Schafer’s games tend to go unnoticed by the general gaming public despite rave reviews, likely due to a severe lack of marketing push from Publishers. Chances are, though, that you’ve at least heard of Brutal Legend. This game has gotten plenty of attention from general gaming press and public as well as music-centered publications thanks to a stellar heavy metal theme and all-star voice cast. Continue reading
[Game Review] LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias (WiiWare)
System: Wii Exclusive (WiiWare)
Developer: Frontier Developments
Publisher: Frontier Developments
Genre: Adventure
The first LostWinds is widely considered one of, if not the absolute best games the WiiWare has to offer. Featuring gorgeous visuals, creative controls, and an absolutely fresh premise, no one could argue that LostWinds was anything short of spectacular (besides those douchebags at GameSpot, that is). The sequel, dubbed Winter of the Melodias, takes everything that made the first adventure such a smashing success and somehow manages to add to it. Continue reading
