Posted on by

It has been a long, hard road for Kinect to gain respect. A road that continues to be an uphill kind of road. Muddling through crappy bundled games was only half the battle since finding a healthy niche in gaming application hasn’t been quite as impressive as the device being turned into an instant robot head. But I digress, some folks got together and found a way to include a bunch of people in a game that includes a bunch of varied activities that mange… Continue reading →

News rarely hits as hard as this. An ABC local news broadcast cracked the case and relayed to the masses something of grave importance: People curse over Xbox Live! In the article, this Los Angeles ABC affiliate explains the trash talk and rampant password theft already ruining your children. YOU CAN’T SAVE THEM! Their solution? Unplug the headphones and crank up the sound so the racial slurs can resound through the home! Woo! Even though uh, pulling the headphones cripples what might be essential communication… Continue reading →

Gears 3 hits this September and since it’s both the conclusion of a trilogy and the only big name Microsoft has left exclusively in the stable anymore with Bungie as Activision’s bitch now and the Halo franchise floating around without its anchor developer or any significant sign of life aside from Servers still being online; Microsoft and Epic want this to be huge.

(I wish I could enjoy ANYTHING as much as this guy…) Gears of War is an acquired taste up until the point that you figure out how to aim your weapons and how to fillet your way through dudes using a monstrous chainsaw bayonet. Walk with me guys as I fondly look back on some grisly acts done in the name of friendship, more videos and nostalgia after the cut…

Sonic Adventure: Making an old Hedgehog THAT much older…

So Sonic the Hedgehog has had an interesting time of it in the last decade. Between being kicked out of the console race and actually joining Mario for different games (Olympics, Smash Bros.) the biggest disgrace put to this rodent has always been the abusive 3D garbage they put him through. For all the lauded talent at Sonic Team and Sega in general, they seem to be hopelessly incompetent in giving the damn hedgehog a fighting chance in a 3D environment. Then again… there was… Continue reading →
