I can’t take it any longer. As a gamer who has an insatiable tendency to make impulse purchases, Gamestop, for better or worse, tends to be my one-stop shop for all things gaming. With that said, I also despise Gamestop as much if not more than the judging staff of American Idol, and here’s a list of the top 5 worst things about almost every Gamestop location.
When Guitar Hero first emerged it was a breath of fresh air to the usual gaming fare of shooters and sports games. But like everything after a while, the concept soon became slightly tired and in need of something new, something extra. Cue Rock Band, which is coincidentally making its début in Europe this week. So where could Guitar Hero go from here?
Just breaking news folks, all PS3 fans can rejoice now as the game of the year Bioshock an Xbox 360 exclusive has just been confirmed by 1UP/EGM to be coming to the PS3 this holiday.
The reviews are in, and Haze really dropped the ball…in fact, it never really had the ball. If you’ve played the demo, you probably know what I and the countless critics who reviewed it are talking about. Though Haze might only be one title worth pushing under the rug in a steady stream of greatness, it still stings a bit as a PS3 fan, especially with all the buildup this game received.
The console war continues apace, with the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Wii all still in with a shout of being the ultimate victor. And according to Microsoft’s Shane Kim, this state of affairs will continue until one of the three contenders hits 100 million sales.
While you and I are sitting at home happily playing our way through Grand Theft Auto 4 on the PS3 and Xbox 360 or a round of Wii Sports tennis on the Wii, we likely don’t spend even one moment thinking about what our consoles are made up of. Luckily we don’t have to as Greenpeace do it for us, and their latest findings show that all three of the major home consoles are hazardous to our health!
Occasionally, after reading the comment discussions of you readers, I am forced to step back and re-evaluate my position on Nintendo; after all, everyone deserves a second chance, right? I can officially say I’m back to a pitiless position on Nintendo, because the gaming giant got caught with a hand in the business cookie jar back in the 1990s, was penalized $232 million for colluding to raise prices by the EU commission, and won’t stop whining about it.
The Internet was ablaze with news that Gametrailers is biased towards the PS3 and in favor of the Xbox 360 after their Grid comparison video debacle where they showed a stunning crash video for Xbox 360 and a very lackluster crash video for PS3, when in fact both videos turned out to have originated from the PS3.
Whether or not the Wii Fit is really capable of getting kids and loser older gamers who can’t move on to more adult pastimes in shape through gaming or not is still largely yet to be seen. What you can bet on experiencing, on your way to getting buff courtesy of the Nintendo Wii, is that the Wii doesn’t sugarcoat the truth about your body…if you’re fat, the Wii will give it to you straight, whether you’re an impressionable 10-year old girl or not.
Its a great Sunday for me when I catch wind of a double whammy like this one in which the big corporations can’t get away with stealing ideas from the little guys, and Nintendo has to pay anyone for anything. Apparently Nintendo’s original and revolutionary controller designs haven’t quite lived up to their originality, as Nintendo has been made to pay $21 million to a small company which filed patents for both the Wii and Gamecube.
