Face Palm: Metal Gear Rising Revengeance

Posted by Brian On December - 13 - 2011

Herp a derp

Even before I saw the trailer for Metal Gear Rising Revegance, I was giddy like a little school girl. Platinum Games developing a Metal Gear game in conjunction with Kojima Productions? Yes please! The trailer only solidified what I felt would be the must have game of 2012. The rest of the night, none of the other announcements at the VGAs matter. Just Metal Sweet Mother of Mercy Gear!

So I was honestly surprised when I saw some of the negative comments about the game. I was very tempted to respond to many. Some I did, while others I simply ignored. But I thought why spend my time making one or two comments to random folks on the internet when I can assemble all my thoughts in one big mega epic article. Hence this monstrosity was born!

So with that here are my thoughts on this group of dissenters. Read the rest of this epic article! »

Ace Combat Assault Horizon Demo Impressions

Posted by Brian On September - 14 - 2011

Blowing up planes never looked so good

Of all the games on my radar, Ace Combat Assault Horizon hit me in the face like an angry blue marlin (It makes sense if you don’t think about it). I’ve never been a huge fan of the series. Was always more of a Air Force Delta kind of guy. Though a few months ago a trailer for the game changed all that. Sporting a brand new combat system with dynamic camera angles and arcade like gameplay, I was certainly intrigued.

After gleefully downloading Radiant Silvergun…wait, you didn’t know it was out? Go on, do it. I’ll be here waiting for you to do your gaming duty. You done? Alright let’s continue. Anyway, I perused the rest of the new releases and what do you know, there was a demo for Assault Horizon. Would it be everything the trailers made it out to be? I was about to find out…

Kojima in your pocket

I’ve been more then a little excited about the announcement of both the Metal Gear Solid HD collection and the Zone of the Enders HD collection coming to the PS3 later this year. Though it’s just been announced at TGS, and confirmed via Konami’s Metal Gear Solid fan page, that both collections will also be coming to the PS Vita! This is huge news for me as the ability to play these titles portably sounds supremely epic. That and the possibilities of linking up with your PS3 via cloud saving to play on the go and at home makes me happy like a little French school girl.

Now before you all get too excited, this has only officially been announced for Japan. Though if I were a betting man I’d say these games will also be coming Stateside. Until then I shall pray unto the golden statue of Kojima.

BTW: If Sony can keep putting out great games for the Vita, I’ll be hard pressed not to buy one. Nintendo take note, this is how you get people excited about a system. Not gimmicks and gizmos but good games.

Why the hype for Dead Island?

Posted by Brian On August - 28 - 2011

Theory of some dead men

I first heard about Dead Island a few months ago in passing. I didn’t think much of it at the time. I watched a few cinematic trailers and was mildly interested. Though any curiosity I had quickly fizzled once I did a little research. On the surface it’s yet another FPS style game with zombies. The main twist is the introduction of an open world element with co-op. Alright sounds fine and dandy, but there are some glaring issues I have to address.
