Angry Leprechaun Rant: DmC

Posted by iwx Leprechaun in The Angry Leprechaun, in Rant 14 May 2013 - - - - - - · 141 views
DmC, Devil May Cry, Rant

Games I've played lately have been overall pretty good. Nothing really of worthy of causing me to fly off the handle. Here I was worried that I had become complacent, maybe the angry leprechaun was finally at ease. No longer picking fights with dogs in those illegal offshore leprechaun/dog boxing matches. Able to finally kick back, sit down while enjoying...

All eyes are on Microsoft as with every passing day, as the revelation of the new Xbox draws closer. Nintendo has already released their next gen Wii U to the public, while the Playstation 4 has only had videos and specs released. But there’s something weird going on this generation. There’s no new overhaul of…anything really. Unless Microsoft can manage...

My Top 5 JRPG's of the Last Generation

Posted by Royzoga in Roy's Ruelle, 17 May 2013 - * * * * * · 174 views

My Top 5 JRPG's of the Last Generation Now before I get into actually listing and explaining my choices, there are a few ground rules I'd like to set. Firstly, these are my choices of JRPG's and thus will not include games I haven't played, obviously. Secondly, there will only be one entry for series, so there will not be a ton of Final Fantasy entries on here! Lastly, since the term generatio...

May 4th was the Atlanta Regional for AGOT the Card Games. This was my first official Joust touranment and it went really well.

Joust just means we play 1 v 1.
They have another format called Melee in which you can play 3-6 players and it is a free for all.

The deck I chose to play on that day was House Greyjoy. My theme was Winter/Choke. The point of my...

Fuse Demo Impressions: This Will Be A Tale of Fanbase-made Sadness

Posted by ijs1337 in My Thoughts on Stuff in Games, 07 May 2013 - * * * * * · 176 views

Remember a few posts back how I joked about Dead Space 3 being the second most controversial title of 2013? Well, I think I might be wrong in retrospect.

In retrospect, Fuse  is probably the second most controversial title coming out this year (DmC still manages to hold the Number One spot here I think, even four months later). FUSE releases late this mo...

A Cornucopia of Steam Reviews (Part 1)

Steam, Review, Reviews

So I decided to act upon gaiages suggestion inspired by my reminiscence of my early days as a PS3 owner. I'd repeat the same shibboleth every gamer with an expansive collection of games on their Steam account and say I'm going to play the games I own and not keep getting more, but I won't, because I won't be able stick to my goal.

This but an inchoate lo...

Steam-grilled, Bite-sized Chunklets, Served Over Critical Reaction

Ok, maybe I shouldn't try to write Steam related puns, but I will try writing something different.

Since gaiages gave us the idea to post mini-reviews and gave us a good example to work with in her own blog , I thought I'd try my hand at this too. So, stealing her idea and her layout, here's some miniature reviews, with scores, of some of the games in my...

Steam

Steam has what can best be described as an gargantuan library of games. From the free to the full price, the great to the terrible, it can be difficult to decide what games you may want from the surface, especially when the famous mass sales come up.

With so many games, wouldn't it be great if you could read quick, concise thoughts on a bunch of Steam ga...

The Benefits of Gaming Online

The Benefits of Gaming Online After a recent experience playing free MMORPG Grand Fantasia I was inspired to start this blog in which I will write reviews of free games that many may not have heard of and prove that you don’t have to spend a fortune to appreciate gaming in all its glory. I hope you enjoy my first entry.

It was 5pm when I started playing Grand Fantasia. It was the fir...

I bought my PS3 not to long ago, May 25th last year. Meaning even now the system is not even 1 year old. It was a bran new Slim 320 GB that came free with MW3.

Being 50 Cent: Blood in my Shoes

Bacons Gambit

Being 50 Cent: Blood in my Shoes Heroes are the ultimate archetypal foils to everything that is considered “evil”. They stand against criminals, villains, demons, and entities that are considered inherently bad. In pop culture, the hero is the greatest thing a person can aspire to. Video games follow a similar pattern, featuring heroic characters who defy all odds to save the world,...

I look back at 2012 as one of the strangest years of gaming for me. I graduated high school and went to college, and although I have ridiculous amounts of free time, I spend almost none of it on gaming. Especially since I have to budget myself, the amount of new games I get have drastically decreased. But worry not, as my Top 5 games this year are still...

Console generation lengths, how have Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo done?

With the Wii-U releasing this year and the next generation of PlayStation and XBOX consoles estimated for release next year I've begun questioning the tight-rope each company must walk to get the most mileage out of their hardware while mitigating risks of it overstaying its welcome or being undercut by alternative means of gaming.

I think over the...
