So I just got Neverwinter Nights, and I'm having a blast with it.  Keep in mind, I did have it when it first came out, simply because of the hype surrounding it, and the fact that everyone was saying, "If you liked Diablo, you'll love this," sounded like a ringing endorsement in my ears.  However, as soon as I started seeing the words "penalty", "dice roll", and "D & D", I almost immediately had a change of heart.  I believe I put a full 30 minutes into actually playing the game until I got completely frustrated, and ended up taking…

So I'm gonna post some more. My sexy, gunmetal FD RX-7.#1 #2 #3 The crazy, 700 HP beast that is the Shelby Cobra.#1 #2 #3 Now, on to something more relevant.  I strongly encourage all of you to stay tuned to the site during this week, as we're about to premier a new video feature.  I won't give too many details, I'll leave you guys to do the speculating, but I will say it involves lots of in-game video, GameBreakers style, and will also give you a look at the ugly mugs of the BMX staff, myself included.  But, ugly or not, I promise…

For the stalkers out there I fixed <<my blog>>.

I like lists. Here's a list: "Games I want to play but can't cause I'm a poor broke bastard" 1) Devil May Cry 3 2) Star Wars: Republic Commando 3) Brothers in Arms: The Road to Hill 30 4) Gran Turismo 4 5) Fight Night Round 2 6) Tekken 5 7) Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Okay nevermind, Here's another list: "Games that I won't be able to buy when they come out, cause I'm still a broke bastard" 1) Phantom Dust (for the love of god check this out if you haven't seen it) 2) DK Jungle Beat Okay I can't…

Richie, Weezer, and I just watched the Episode III trailer.  I almost had a heart attack.  I can't even really speak right now.  All I have to say is that you must watch it with a clean pair of pants.  "Are you threatening me?"  I won't sleep for weeks.  Star Wars…is good.

I'm still here in semi-sunny California at the GDC, so I figured that I'd just check in with you guys again because I love you so much.  Anyways, I went to Nintendo's CEO, Satoru Iwata's press conference earlier today, where I got to see in-person, the new Zelda trailer.  It was pretty cool.  Not quite as cool as the one that was released last year at E3, but still pretty cool.  Actually showed off a bit of new gameplay mechanics, like Link riding a horse, and also Link picking up cats.  Don't really know what that's about, but Iwata promised…

My God is it sexy. Watch it now.

With the Official Episode III poster released yesterday, and the trailer to be realeased tomorrow I've been on something of a Star Wars high lately.  Richie had promised himself he wouldn't get hyped for the final Star Wars movie, but I preach about Star Wars with the same enthusiasm a Christian might imagine Jesus talking about his dad with.  Even he is pumped now. I was inhaling all the latest Star Wars news, as I do like the junky I am, I noticed that something interesting had happened in Star Wars Galaxies.  Now, that is news.  I played Star Wars…

Hey all, I just wanted to check in for a bit while I actually have access to a computer here at GDC (Game Developer's Conference) here in San Francisco.  I just got out of J. Allard's keynote speech talking about the HD Era.  Basically, he talked a lot about how the UI for all next-generation Xbox games is going to be universal, so every Xbox game will basically have the same basic UI which will allow for customization on almost every little detail.  Not only that, but he said that EVERY game will be Xbox Live-aware (at the very least),…

The pace car is one of them.  God dammit, give the Technicolor line we had in GT3.  At least the line doesn't pussy out when it comes to cornering.  And then there's the rally penalty.  Sorry Polyphony, but it makes no sense at all when the opponent bumps me with his bumper, which causes me to knock the wall, which causes me to get a penalty, while the opponent flies by.  In Jack's words, "I want to punch Kazunori Yamauchi in the fucking face." The photo shooting, and Photo Travel, modes, however, are not some of those horrible things.  Far from…

Sorry for the late notice, but there will be no show today.  Both of my grandparents died this week, and I've had to be gone to be with my family.

Hey guys, I just wanted to say "hey" before I head out to San Francisco on Tuesday to cover the Game Developers Conference for the site.  What is GDC, you ask?  Well, it's kinda like E3, but it's only for developers, and they have these really cool workshops the entire time, where speakers basically give their ideas on trends within the industry, and also their takes on how to do certain things that gamers want to play.  Oh yeah, and did I mention they have a whole bunch of parties there too?  Must've slipped my mind.  ^^Nevertheless, I'm really looking forward to…

It's been almost a week, and I've not had any material to flame Sony, and their PSP, over.  Jesus Titfucking Christ, what's Richie gonna talk about? For starters, I'll mention my first impression of Brothers in Arms, which is this:  Full Spectrum Warrior blended with Call of Duty.  Unlike FSW, however, there's more to it than moving men into position and popping in a grenade.  And best of all, you actually get to shoot people yourself.  It's not like the nightmare of a system of FSW, in which you could position your character 10 feet from a baddie, and wait a…

Not only is Star Wars: Republic Commando out now for Xbox and PC, but Brothers in Arms comes out today for Xbox, Devil May Cry 3 comes out today for PS2, and don't forget that Fight Night Round 2 dropped yesterday as well.  This is a crazy week for gamers, especially if last week's lightning-fast releases weren't enough for you.  Somehow or another, I'm trying to give time to everything that is released this week, and so far it's working well.  I got to play a lot of Republic Commando last night, and I have to say that I'm impressed…

With the glorious sound of shredding tires in the background as Jack pushes his Nismo 400R to victory, I'm oh so happy to inform you that our favorite game is the current best seller.  Suprised?  You shouldn't be.And to make things even harder on gamers, we've got two not-so-insignificant new releases today:  Brother in Arms and Republic Commando.  You can expect comments on both later in the week, but suffice to say, the Richie/Jack pad is filled with hype for both. So, if you'll excuse me, I have a kidney to sell.

I've been playing a LOT of GT4 in the past few days since I acquired it.  And when I say a lot, I mean a LOT.  I think I've already put nearly 20 hours into the game, and I'm not even through with the beginner races, mainly because I'm having so much trouble getting the money to buy some of the cars I need to compete in the different specialty races like the Sports Truck series, or the Rear Engine/Rear-wheel drive series, etc.  That doesn't mean that I'm not having fun though, in fact, very far from it.  The game…

But then, after I calmed myself, I realized that GameSpot's score of 8.9 for Gran Turismo 4 wasn't so unreasonable.  Atticus brought the review to my attention, and I was immediately filled with hatred.  I had just got done adding tuner specialty suspension and racing slicks to my Nismo 400R Skyline, bought with the money won from owning the Japanese 90's series, which was raced on Japan's greatest courses, like Tsukuba and Fuji.  How could anyone running on half their cylinders even think to give GT4 an eight point fucking nine? The car selection has no rival.  The tuning options…

And in his place, I shall be talking about GT4, which I picked up as well yesterday, because I'm a racing whore.  I've got a soft spot for the GT series, which is kinda funny, because the first one I played was GT3, after I saw the commercials for it when I picked up my PS2 in the first place.  So my 2nd experience so far with the fabled (and oft-delayed) series?  So far, so good.I will say that my right hand is currently in pain because of all of the mashing of the "X", "O", and Square buttons trying…

Part of me still refuses to believe it, but believe it or not, the much-awaited Gran Tursimo 4 will be in gamers hands by this time tomorrow.  That means, by this time tomorrow, I'll be spending my hard-raced credits on a MazdaSpeed MX-5.  Or an Evolution VIII RS.  Or a Holden Monaro.  Or…or…or…yeah, I need to change my shorts. Anyway, it's gonna be here, and I'm not gonna know what to do.  Luckily, being a player of Gran Tursimo 3, I'll have a few options opened to me.  Via the rumor mill, I've heard that GT3 players will receive 100,000 upon…

My big problem right now is that everyone on the internet, including Penny Arcade, seems to have the latest Official Xbox Magazine, with what is perhaps the greatest demo disc ever.  This disc has demos for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Conker: Live and Reloaded, and a Live-enabled demo of Unreal Championship 2.  Now I actually have the demo for Unreal Championship 2, because I picked it up from EB the other day, and let me tell you, it's amazing.  The speed, the melee combat, it all fits together quite well, and is extremely fun.  The game has the rare chance…

Afro's Daily Declaration of Facts: 1) I am permanently 2-5 months behind everyone else in gaming B) Domino's no longer makes the double melt. Fuck Domino's. III) I just got into Half-Life 2. Holy Shit! I gotta say…it makes me moist. Four) Fuck Duke 51\/3) For the love of god go download Firefox. I promise you'll heart it. The customizablity alone is enough to make it officially "the shit." Right now I have a weather forecast in my status bar, web dev tools under my address bar, and a really slick minimalist skin. Oh, and if I highlight a word,…

But then again, what else should I expect from Sony?  I mean, Sony announces their plans to bring movies to the PSP, via UMD discs, then announces the prices:  $30 for some, $20 for others."So what?", you say, "It's the same price as a DVD."  Yeah, but DVD's can be played almost anywhere.  PC's, laptops, home theaters, even cars for God's sake.  But you want me to pay the same price for a UMD, that can only be played on one system?  A system that isn't necessarily gonna be able to play the entire movie?  Fuck that.—This Sony Bashing moment has been…

I had the chance to pick up both of these new titles this past evening, and also to get some quality playing time in with them as well.  I have to say that I'm having a blast with WarioWare.  Sure, some of the minigames are kinda lame, but the Old Skool games, and most of the new ones that use the stylus are really cool.  It's the WarioWare that you know and love from GBA, albeit with minigames that mostly use the stylus or the microphone on the DS.  I will say that I'm kinda disappointed by the lack of…

Listen the fuck up.  This concerns you.It's been announced that Turok-pushing company, Midway, has a deal going with Cartoon Network to produce several games based off of Adult Swim shows, one of which is our much beloved and holy ATHF.  They also say they're gonna gameify Sealab 2010 and Space Ghost, though I have no fucking clue how you would gameify either.I'm very nervous about ATHF, out of habit.  Movie to game conversions almost never turn out decent, so I have no reason to think this will be different.  Like a law of physics, it's almost a rule that such…
