I love the XBLA. For a fraction of the price of a retail game, Arcade titles can offer just as much entertainment, if not even more so, than games sold at your local store. In fact, developers are willing to take more risks in this market and the result is more unique games. While I […]

BLOG – Sony. Corporate Geniuses or Money Grubbing Bullies? Thoughts on Vita’s Memory Card Pricing.From a business perspective, I can understand why Sony does the things they do. They are Sony after all. But from a consumer point of view, I am… how can I put this, not the biggest fan of Sony’s immoral ways. Besides the retardly high price of the PS3 and PS2 upon launch, Sony also […]

REVIEW – Vanguard Bandits (PSN)Charming But Outdated Vanguard Bandits is a strategy RPG that can probably be summed up as a hybrid between Vandal Hearts and Fire Emblem. But as a game reviewer and fan of strategy RPGs, I am torn with Vanguard Bandits. Why am I torn? Well, first and foremost, I am very happy to see MonkeyPaw, […]

REVIEW – GoldenEye 007: Reloaded (PS3)Higher-Def When I reviewed last year’s then Wii exclusive GoldenEye, a reimagining of the N64 hit, I took into account that it was a type of game rarely seen on the Wii. Given the fact that it was an exclusive FPS on an FPS starved system, supported 10 player online multiplayer without a hanky Friend […]

PORTFOLIO – Kling-OnKling-On is an incomplete project but the foundation is solid. I am kicking myself now for not finding the time to complete this project as games like N+ and Super Meatboy beat me to it. Anyway, I always enjoyed the wall jumping mechanic found the in the MegaMan X games and always wanted to create […]

PORTFOLIO – Fireworks appI was scanning through some old programs I made and found my Fireworks sample app. What does it do? Well, it makes fireworks. Just click or drag the mouse to make randomly rainbow colored fireworks appear. I made this basic app for an excuse to play around with the Havok physics engine. Man, what powerful […]

PORTFOLIO – Ball SlapperOne of the first games I created was used from a GameMaker template. Changing a few things around and adding my own content, I came up with Ball Slapper – the goal is to click the balls before they hit the sides of the stage and reach the border, Breakout-Stlye. The more clicks, the higher […]

BLOG – Pre 2011 Black Friday Deals FoundLike all Americans, I am excited about Black Friday and scoring some sweet deals. However, Xmas came early for me this year as I found some sweet clearance deals at my local Target today. I doubt most gamers would get excited about finding Konami’s New International Track & Field on DS for $4.48, but hey, […]

REVIEW – Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (PS3)GREAAAAAAAT! Without question, the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is quite the package. Arguably, MGS2 and MGS3 are some of the PS2’s finest titles with Peace Walker standing as one of the highest quality titles on Playstation’s portable. Bundling them all on a single disc, giving them an HD makeover, and selling for a reduced […]

REVIEW – Spiderman: Edge of Time (PS3)Out Of Time Instead of putting you in the shoes of four Spidermen like last year’s Shattered Dimensions, Edge of Time seamlessly transitions between a past and future Spider-Man. Unfortunately, the focus on style puts all gameplay in the backseat. Comic books can have some pretty strange plotlines but Edge of Time takes a new […]
