Richie and I did a film a new GameBreaker today. Be a few days till I get to edit it, but you should be seeing our views on Metroid Prime 3 shortly. By the way, everyone should look at Q’s profile. His avatar is really cool.

***UPDATED*** Kotaku posted an interesting tidbit from Game Informer, "The details on what’s really going on between Microsoft and Halo series developer Bungie are still foggy, but Game Informer helps to brush away some of the fog of future console wars by detailing more specifics on the matter. According to GI, interested parties have purchased the naming rights of the development studio from its parent company, with Microsoft retaining rights to the Halo franchise. No surprise there. GI’s unnamed source, however, had more to say on the rumored split. What’s potentially more interesting is that Microsoft may also retain "right…

BMX Game Night – September 30th Halo 3 Time: 7 PM EST Details: This is a simple no competition Game Night. We'll play whatever seems right for the time.

I had the honor to play some Halo 3 with our leader, BreakmanX last night. While playing was fun, I think the majority of it was because of our chatting. We got through the first 3 levels, but the game itself left us bored, confused. We found ourselves picking apart little things in each level just to get some entertainment value. However, this IS Halo, and it was everything I was expecting it to be. Johnson and his crashed Pelican Halo 3 is mostly seen as a multiplayer experience. Bungie showed this when it delivered Halo 2. You…

I just watched the premiere episode of Chuck and I must say it is pretty cool.  I’m still not completely sold on the origins of his secret governmental knowledge and all, but the actual show is pretty funny.  The main actor is definitely the best part of the show, and I look forward to what further geekery they present.  From what I’ve read, the creator of the show is an actual geek.   I’ll be watching it next week, that’s for sure. Besides it being a fun show to watch I also noticed a few interesting locations.  First is the Mexican…

So far this is shaping up to be better than the original Sonic Rush, which I absolutely loved. The 3d world is really well blended into the 2d gameplay which is something that I don't think I've seen done quite this well. Every thing about this game just screams the classic gameplay many of us grew up on in the Genesis years. My only complaint is the lame Sonic story and dialog we have all gotten used to in the past decade or so. If you like platformers, Sonic, or own a DS you should go buy this!

My long documented conflict with the 360 is getting a few rather interesting doses of "get-along-juice" today. First of all, my 360 returns from its tumultuous journey to Texas where it was gutted and, presumably, rebuilt. Then as I checked my usual round of URLs I find that Ikaruga AND Rez will be coming to Xbox Live in the near future. I love my Dreamcast and still believe it was taken from us too soon. The fact that Xbox Live is picking up two classics immediately warmed my heart to the console. Ikaruga is one of my favorite games OF…

Since our editor doesn't like me embeding videos, I'll just have to link it for all of you to see. Click HERE to watch the video that was supposed to be embedded. After all the frustration of trying to embed I can barely remember why I'm posting a link to this video in the first place. Well, fans of FF7 will feel all gooey inside as soon as the video starts up. The classic battle theme plays and the familiar beeps and clicks make a return. Could Crisis Core be a great game? Well, sounds and music alone don't make…

Since Tim and I have been harping about the excellence of Luminous Arc on the show and off, I decided it might be a good idea to put the company line here to give you a basic impression. Expect more written content on this game soon. One thousand years ago, dragons and Witches warred against God for the fate of the world. God's power was triumphant, but it was a difficult struggle, and the deity sent Himself into a deep sleep to recover from the terrible wounds he suffered in the battle. Ten years ago, the Church has proclaimed that…

Richie added his second opinion to the Super Metroid review. You should read it.

Super Metroid is one of those games. You know, one of those games. A game so drenched in quality that it appears on many "Best Games of All Time" lists along with titles like Chrono Trigger, Ocarina of Time, Super Mario Bros., Final Fantasy VI, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Metal Gear Solid. I purposely stretched out this list so you could see just what level this game is on, because it is on the highest level possible in gaming. I remember my first experience with Super Metroid. Shortly after its release I rented this game…

Its Maul's birthday! Everyone wish him a happy birthday, and that the comic goods bless him this year.

Life is good. Now that I have a decent job, I can afford an infrequent frivolity from time to time. This, of course, means I renew my subscription to GameFly. God bless those little people. They provide such a wonderful service for such a reasonable price. Sure, they're not the fastest, and they don't always have the best stock, but you can actually rent titles such as Big Brain Academy Wii Degree from them. Is Blockbuster gonna have that shit? Not bloody likely. (They don't. I've looked.) So what did I rent with my first choice? Well, truth be told,…

The next episode of The Game Show will be Friday August 17th at 5:00 PM CENTRAL. We are going to rock you.

To be announced in the next day or so. Stay tuned.

There was a problem with logins due to a redirection issue. It is fixed now so you should be able to login with ease. If you are still having problems please pm me on the forums.Also, the DNS should be completely done replicating so everyone SHOULD be able to see the website. If anyone has ANY problems, please PM me on the forums. Look forward to broadcasting to all of you very soon…

You are now viewing the page from the new server! Should be a bit faster for all of you.A few changes, though. The Community features that used to be on here (the profile and all that) have been taken off because it crashed the new server. I've tried for almost twelve hours straight to get them to work, but no dice. I might try again, but for now they are gone. Your user name and password should still be the same though, and you can still post comments with them. To use an avatar simply sign up (with the same…

We're moving to a new server very shortly, so expect a few bumps during the change over. See you all on a new episode of The Game Show very shortly.

We're going to do a show in two weeks or so. I'm trying to round the old crew together to sit around and talk into microphones, so as soon as they return to town (everyone looks like they will be back in two weeks) we will broadcast, LIVE, into your computer. Get your headphones ready, because this will be a show you do NOT want to miss. I can't tell you why, just know that if you like the show, this will be one you don't want to miss. I pre-ordered some of Nintendo's first party line up for the…

The radio stream will be down for the time. Congratulations to Break. The stream will be back shortly.The stream is now back up for your listening pleasure! Enjoy.

I must say that I'm really impressed with Mecha and Riche's revitalization effort. Thanks to my extreme lack of time in 2007, the site has really died down in activity. The lack of shows has really been a drag for me, but I just don't have the time to do it. I barely have time to get all the things I have to get done. That's not to say that the show is done forever, but it is definitely on hiatus for now. August is looking like we may be able to do a show or more. We'll see how…

So here’s the deal. A couple of staff members and I have been thinking up of ways to get our community booming, and hopefully reviving the beast that is Breakmanx.com. The most simplistic idea to execute would be to have a game night. It’ll be a way for us to escape our mundane lives during the summer. In an attempt to get as many people involved in this as possible, we’ll need to decide which game everyone has the ability to play. This is our main priority right now. Time, dates, and details will all come later. This is where…

Here is another video that we have dug up. This time, it's from E306. This videos was originally going to be our intro for the DVD that was going to be released. Download .mov (right click and save as) Quicktime 7 required.

That's MONOLITH SOFT, not MONOLITH PRODUCTIONS. Two completely different companies. There seems to be a lot of confusion going around about this. With all this talk of Nintendo's financial records skyrocketing, Nintendo has decided to purchase 80% of Japanese video game developer Monolith Soft. The studio is currently working on a new Wii project titled Disaster: Day of Crisis. Monolith Soft is widely known for their work on the Xenosaga and Baten Kaitos franchises, all of which were published by Bandai Namco. So is anyone excited that the Wii might be getting some high caliber RPGs? Or is this just…

Like there was any doubting its existence? Still, apparently KH2: Final Mix (which might actually force me to play through the series if it gets released here) contained a trailer a the end for the supposedly PS3 exclusive KH3. There are some screenshots available here: http://animeclick.lycos.it/notizia.php?id=7349 (sorry it's in Spanish) Looks like the game is using White Engine, the same engine used in FFXIII / Versus FFXIII. The best video we could get our hands on has no audio, sorry. Watch it here . Thanks to Vamp for submitting this story. Discuss it in our forums

I know there are a bunch of Metal Gear Solid fans in our community, so this is a huge treat for all of us. Ryan Payton, hot of the Kojima Productions Report, has just uploaded an interview with the man behind one of the most popular character/voice in gaming history, Solid Snake. David discusses his current projects and talks about his role in Metal Gear Solid 4. It really does sound like Ryan is interviewing Solid Snake himself. Enjoy! The KP Report Session 033 The interview is short but sweet, so nobody should have an excuse not to listen.

So Microsoft has been hyping these 2 huge announcements, the first of the two was revealed yesterday and the 2nd will unveiled tonight. So far, the news is nothing new, just MS confirming the Xbox elite. HDMI port, black finish, 120 GB hard drive; will anybody be trading in their 360 just to get this elite model? I sure won't. Let's hope tonight's announcement will leave more of an impact. Update: Either the announcement hasn't been made yet or the 2nd news story isn't even gaming related. Hype sucks. Discuss!
