The forums have been a buzz on some talk about X-Box 360, its lauch titles, and its subsequent releases. General consensus has been that X-Box 360 titles have only been better than their X-Box counter parts. Oh, and there’s the other bit about most X-Box 360 titles are also available on X-Box or are multiplatform.

The Dreamcast is one of my favorite systems of all time, and in it you can find Virtua Tennis living happily without much travel. People complain about sports games, but I also think that people shouldn’t forget Video Games and their roots in Pong. Pong is based on ping-pong and tennis, so in affect Video Games started as sports games. That said, I look at games of this nature not as sports games, but as games in general. It also greatly amuses me when people completely disregard things on a matter of taste rather than actual quality. All that said,…

First off I’d like to welcome myself to breakmanx.com. This is my first post so please try not to be too harsh on me :).So I picked up an xbox 360 at Wal-Mart last week. After months and weeks of jumping from store to store looking for a 360. While I was putting away some yogurt I got a call from my good friend who works in the grocery department while he was going in to Wal-Mart to pick up Fight Night 3. He called me as soon as he got home pratically yelling at me that Wal-Mart had JUST…

So, a very special day is almost upon us. This day was said to have started in France in the year, 1582. What happened was that their calender was reformed under Charles IX. Back then word didn’t travel all that quickly, so the people that thought it was still the week of March 15th to April 1st (which was their new years) still celebrated on the first day of April. They were known as "Fools" because the new years had been changed from April 1st to January 1st. These people were also sent on fool errands. For example, they were…

Before going further, I will point you to Triad’s brand-spankin’ new Soul Calibur III review, for your enjoyment. BreakmanX.com cannot be held accountable for any positive effects that may result from reading said review.Now then, on with the usual angry rantings. I present to you, my “Island” list, new and improved for 2006. OG’s will remember that I did this with BreakmanX.com v. 1.0, way, way back when. I felt it was time for a revision; it’s important to know if you’re on the list. Let me explain.Here’s the scenario: I’m President of these United States. First executive order: Annex…

I thought I was alright at Tetris DS, but then I got beaten like ten times in a row. But I can’t stop playing. Everytime I lose it just makes me want to play more and get better. I suck at Metroid Prime Hunters too. But it’s still fun to play both games because they aren’t just ports or dumbed down versions. Tetris DS is the new Tetris. Metroid Prime Hunters is the new Metroid.

Soul Calibur IIIDev: NamcoPub: Namco From the fighting game Gods, Namco comes the the 4th installment of their "Soul" series titled, "Soul Calibur III". Yes, all of your favorite characters are back plus some new faces are added to the mix to give the series that much more longevity. Now I know what you are saying already. You are mad because Namco wouldn't release it for the other consoles like they did with "Soul Calibur II". It would make any Link and Spawn lover tremble, its sad but true, Soul Calibur III is a Playstation 2 exclusive. Would the game have…

After yesterday’s show, announcing all the GDC news, I really started to get more and more excited for E3. GDC is an appetizer of sorts for gamers. Releasing developer centered news with a few hints of things to come, and maybe a game announcement or two, we now just have to wait with our mouths salivating. The chips and dip have been taken from us, rather abruptly mind you, and now we must wait for our meal. We still have more than a month to wait too, so I hope you brought a mint or maybe a tic-tac.

You all may be wondering why title this, "Let’s Ride". Well, there is a very good reason behind that. In a few hours I’m going to go watch Gone in Sixty Seconds. It is one of my all time favorite movies, next to The Rock. (I’m a huge Nick Cage fan). Anyways I’ve been getting ready these past few months for something that is going to be out on Tuesday the 28th. That something is Kingdom Hearts II. A lot of you may already know that I am a huge RPG fan. Most of the games that I own are…

I’m getting ready to play this game on 360, but I’ve been warming up on the regular Xbox until this delayed game finally gets released.I think the gameplay is much improved from last year. I especially like the ball-stealing mechanics Throwing the stick in the direction of the ball is an incredibly intuitive way to strip it. Also, using the stick to shoot on offense is also a big improvement.The 360 version is supposed to have improved arenas, player models, and presentation so I’ll check back with you then.

Mega Man Maverick Hunter X is a remake of Mega Man X (SNES) for the PSP. Graphically the game is absolutely stellar. MMMX takes levels originally made for the 16-bit SNES and beautifully converting them to the PSP. The backgrounds are beautiful and extend very far away from the player. The character models are also very well done.The music is done pretty well for the most part. There were a few times where I wondered exactly what they were doing with it, but there were a lot of times where I remembered the song and liked what they had done…

God really does hate us, apparently.. My power just came back on so I can post this, but we are supposed to get hit two more times today. I woke up this morning at 7:30 AM to no power, tornados all around me, and sirens going off. After all was said and done, much of Lawrence is damaged including 60 buildings at The University of Kansas. They might even cancel classes tomorrow. The National Weather Service also declared Lawrence in a state of "Civil Emergency." Luckily, the Breakdom emerged unscathed in the first weather attack. Here’s to hoping for these…

Beginning with a very shameless plug of our new Babe of the Week series, courtesy of Triad636 and yours truly. The way I figure, every good website needs some kind of hotties program, as to keep it’s visitors supplied with self-pleasuring material. Fortunately, Mr. 636 has set the sexiness bar high with his first choice; now it’s on me to maintain the standard. Rest assured, I will deliver – I might even consider any suggestions you may have, as long as they have real boobers and don’t suck. And don’t have a penis, you sick fucks. Dos, our forums have recently…

And thank God, too, because I was really starting to get my panties in a knot there at the end. Why had I bought a 360, if I was only going to have it sit there and make the PS2 look bad? A console without a TV is precisely as awesome as Lindsay Lohan, minus the captivating boobies.So, here it is. I’m not quite used to its…presence. It’s not a 20’ plasma or anything, sure, but I’m so used to glancing left and seeing a curved black lump stare back at me. Now I look over, stare for a second, and say,…

Coincidence or no the Propel water, that was purchased for my consumption, is obviously evil.  How a expiration date of 6.6.06 escaped me for the few weeks I’ve had the pack is very odd for me to understand, however.  I thought it was funny. I’ve been playing a lot of old school games lately.  I played Smash TV for a few hours with JayT over live last night, and the few days prior it has all been NES.  I even got in a few games of Ikaruga.  I’m exploring my past while I wait for some new good games to…

And you thought playing games on a 20” TV sounded bad enough, now I’m completely fucked. Yeah, it’s dead all right, dead as Darth Vader, pogs and the Atari Jaguar (some would say it was never alive, but whatever).Should severe desperation and boredom take over, I could grab myself some composite cables and hook los tres sesenta into my video card, providing me with 4.1 surround, a screen that doesn’t have the curvature of a basketball, AND no more of those little fuckin’ red streaks. Well hey, why the fuck not, right? Sure, it’d probably be fine, until Jesus got word…

This summer I got the chance to go to a mini mecca of sorts. I went to the Nintendo World Store in New York City. Before I go any further, I must say that my true mecca would probably be the Nintendo world headquarters in Kyoto, Japan. Anyways, the Nintendo World Store was previously the Pokemon Center, after some remodeling, the store has expanded to include all things Nintendo. The location is literally around the corner from the NBC building that my favorite late night talk show, Late Night with Conan O’Brien is shot. Since its opening last May, the…

I’m feeling a bit under the weather (just a cold, no surgery involved) and we’ve heard numerous reports of some extravagant bowl happening today. It may even be super.. Anyway, there won’t be a show today. Sorry folks.

Remember when I said that the 360 was lame and all that?  I know it seems like such a long time ago that such silly things were produced from my oral cavity to your aural senses.  Funny thing about the things I say though..  I’m always completely honest and in the moment.  From everything I’d seen and played the 360 looked like it would be somewhere between “super-lame and “not quite worthy of crucifixion.”  As I’ve actually been playing it recently, though, I’ve discovered just how far off I was.  I was playing pong without a paddle.  I was wrong.…

And came back with a new keyboard and mouse.The old board and mouse were downright disgusting. Enough crumbs had gathered in between the keys to feed rats, while keys themselves were sticky with Coke and old spaghetti sauce. The mouse was eating AA’s faster than a Game Gear, and being a little bitch about what surfaces it would work on.Time to sack up and put down the cash for replacements. One trip to Office Max and $85 later, and the old was out for the new. Ahhh, the awesome smell of new computer hardware.It’s called the MediaPlay, and it’s Logitech’s…
