BreakmanX (AKA Matthew Nyquist) founded BreakmanX.com in 2001 after having small video game websites since around 1996. Things really took off in September of 2002 when he started The Game Show with Richie. BreakmanX.com quickly developed a tight knit community of gamers as the crew covered major industry events and interviewed top industry talent. Break later went to the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts to get his MFA in Film and TV Production. He worked in Hollywood for seven years with people like Fred Roos (The Godfather Trilogy, Star Wars) and Dane Davis (The Matrix). He's now gone full circle and returned to Kansas to write and direct a feature film (EyesOpenMovie.com), relaunch The Game Show (BreakmanX.com), and spend his day time hours as an tenured Associate Professor.

In the world of gaming, there will always be the dreaded console wars. Some gamers that are "fanboys" of a certain system gladly embrace this war in the hopes that the console they love will be in front when new consoles are released. Some say the Xbox 360 was released far too early. Some say the PS3 is too overpriced for a next gen console. Some say that the Wii is too childish for their tastes. These three people all have the same thing in common, they are fanboys. Then there are the people that hate the whole idea of…
Saw the film earlier today in 3D Imax. I am in awe of its awesomeness. I know fans and critics are divided on how they feel. All I know is that I absolutely love Superman Returns. I felt that all performances were strong, especially James Marsden, Kevin Spacey, and Brandon Routh. Oh my god…Brandon Routh. I really felt he was Clark Kent, I really felt he was Superman.The film is absolutely beautiful. The Daily Planet looks incredible. The special effects were for the most part, not even noticeable. I thought almost everything looked real. Brandon Routh actually looked like he…

I just wanted to brief you all on some things that will be happening in the coming weeks. I just finished all of my finals for school, and school thankfully is now over for me. This means I can put most of my time into finishing a few games and will hopefully get reviews for those games up right afterwards. Other staff members will be reviewing games soon as well so be sure to check out the review section of the site later on to read them.By the looks of the voting in the forums, it looks like the new time…

No word yet on exactly how it will be playable.IGN BoardsApparently the upcoming issue of Game Informer reports that Red Steel has recently been tweaked."Not only did the remote replicate our actual sword-slashes, but the recenty unveiled motion sensor in the nunchuck could be thrust foreward for parry attacks.""As…

Check this out, "Microsoft’s Matt Lee, a software engineer for the Game Technology Group, doesn’t believe the Cell chip has been designed with gaming in mind; he says certain aspects of the Sony chip make it unsuited for running game code. He also believes Xbox 360 and PS3 are about equal in terms of performance.""In particular, Lee said that the Cell processor’s Synergistic Processor Elements (SPEs) make the chip more suitable for other operations, not necessarily gaming. ‘ "I don’t think the Cell is as well designed for game development as Sony would have you believe. Some aspects of the…

I seem to have caught the stomach flu.. I’d love to do the show but then I’d be making pretty steady trips to the bathroom. We’re going to do a make up show on Tuesday, I believe. We’ll keep you posted on the front page.
It came back exactly the way it left: Plastic bagged and cardboard boxed. Yeah, I finally got my 360 back.It works, no question, though wish I would’ve thought to mark it somehow, tell if it was replaced or repaired. I was halfway hoping they’d include a couple months of Live or something, consolation for losing my ‘box in the Lone Star state. Nope, nothing, though getting it running again was painless, thanks to the detachable hard drive that I kept while the ‘box was away.In other news, I took the time to download Half Life 2: Lost Coast. It’s not…
