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.

Two perfect adjectives to describe my feelings for World of Warcraft. I've been knee deep in this game since it's launch last Tuesday, and all I can say is if you've never played an MMO, or even if you're an MMO god…this game will tickle your fancy in the naughty places. Graphics are top notch and fit perfectly in the Warcraft world, the classes are all fun (and balanced from what I've experienced), the tradeskills are a hoot AND a hollar (yes, both) and the combat is exciting, not to mention PvP being an adrenaline pumper.
If you listened to the Show a couple weeks ago, then you know my feelings on Forza Motorsport. I saw what looked like a potentially awesome game displayed at the Microsoft press event, only to be severely disappointed by the playable demo they had available on the event floor. The physics felt downright twisted, and the graphics looked awful. Well, thanks to Xbox Official Magazine, and their demo disc, I've had a chance to play an updated demo of Forza, and, while my general opinion of the game is much higher now, a select few things still bug me.What I…
I confess. I never played Final Fantasy 1 on NES. There. I said it. *sigh* That feels so much better. Anyways, with that weight off of my mind, I picked up Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls for GBA yesterday, which is essentially remakes of both Final Fantasy 1 and the previously unreleased (unless you count Final Fantasy Origins for PS1) Final Fantasy 2 for the NES…
Anyone out there remember the Warthog Jump video? Remember how its creator melded some insane grenade-launching stunts to an uber cool soundtrack? Remember liking it? Then I've got something straight up your alley. It's called the Shield Jump video, and, though not as varied as Warthog Jump, it's in the same spirit: Fucking with the physics engine to create crazy stunts. It has to do with those shield emplacements the Covenant use, and driving a tank over one. Tanks get launched, hilarity ensues. Check it, if you're buh-dah-kee. I'd also like to let all the Half-Life 2 owners out there know…

Hey guys, hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving, I know I did. Hopefully you all also used the BreakmanX.com 2004 Holiday Gift Guide as well yesterday when you all went out to shop for all of your holiday presents for your family and friends who also just happen to love video games. If you didn't, go check it out in the features section. I'm telling you right now, it's really good, and you can use it to find any gift for any gamer's tastes…
Even though part of me believes Thanksgiving is a holiday, like Valentines Day, that was created by retailers as an excuse to sell shit and have early morning sales.Metroid Prime 2 was somewhat of a letdown. The game starts out…
So you have a gamer on your holiday gift list that you don't know what to get. Well, luckily you came to the right place. I'll help you sort through the crap and show you the real gems in each genre for each system. Don't worry, Jack is here, and he'll help you make sure that you get that special someone a gift they're sure to love. I'll give you my #1 choice for each genre and a few other games in the genre that they'll be sure to like as well as the #1 choice.
Really, they should. Think about it, PAs art style, combined with some good voice acting, and you'd have one kick ass presentation.As far as I'm concerned, most of this months significant releases are done, aside from World of Warcraft, Painkiller: Battle out of Hell, and Prince of Persia 2. So now I go about the task of picking what stuff I pick up now, and what will have to wait till their prices drop. The more I think about it…
