    Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast)

    I haven?t played this game in a long time, but I remember liking it less than Sonic Adventure 1 because Sonic's levels no longer felt like riding a speedy rollercoaster. I got Sonic Adventure 2 today and have already finished the game with the good guys and I?m half way through the game with the...

    Vista networking issue... and a slight rant

    My experience with Windows Vista has changed. I used to recommend Vista because of it almost never crashes and other positives. That was before I got a laptop. Vista on my laptop sucks because I have such a difficult time getting on the internet. It has constant difficulty connecting wirelessly...

    Condemned 2: Bloodshot Review (PS3) The Final Review

    Farewell No, I'm not going anywhere; but this is my last review in the sense that I am no longer going to review every single game I play, or play a game with the review in the back of my mind. One reason for this is because I want get rid of the extra headroom used up by analysis and judgment...

    GTA4 resale value = crap.

    So I just sold my brother's GTA4 for the XBOX 360 on ebay; and it sold for.... $10. Yeah, I can't believe it either. Resistance for the PS3 sold for 40% more than that.

    High Compatibility by LMG (When did games start being less fun?)

    This is a video on relationship compatibility between Little Miss Gamer and other gamer types. She makes some interesting points, especially near the end where she asks when did games start being less fun. Below the link I made some comments where I try to answer that question. Note: I'm not...

    IGN review of Saints Row 2 Audited

    I've gone through GTA vs Saint's Row before, so I'm not going to do that here. Instead I'm going to point out, as many of you probably already know, the crap that IGN still is. The author said some things about GTA4 that made me think twice. How is GTA4 a small game?! He also says GTA is...

    Gran Turismo 5: Prologue Review

    I'm supposed to be playing Condemned, but it's scary. So I stopped for a bit and played through GT5 Prologue. "The racing in Prologue is just as much fun as I remember having with GT2. However, EGM said it well, ?I say Prologue is a demo.? It is no wonder since Prologue was only meant as a...

    Shenmue I & II on the Wii?

    This could be the chance that we need. If the bundle is released on the Wii, I will purchase it. Maybe all the fans should purchase one copy so that we are heard. And maybe, with a little bit of luck, Shenmue 3 will become a reality. http://kotaku.com/391086/shenmue-on-wii-anyone-anyone...

    Metal Gear Solid 4 Review

    "It has a few issues, but they don?t stand in the way of its ability to reel you in. Metal Gear Solid 4 is similar to the 1998 original with great improvements in all areas. If there is only one game the PS3 was allowed to brag about, it would be this one." LINK

    Revisiting Final Fantasy VII

    I've been busy writing 3 research papers back to back for school -- oh how I hate them. Anyway, I return with a PS1 review and the MGS4 review shortly after. I wanted to play a few more PS1 games, but after see the pixelated mess that was Syphon Filter, I just couldn't. It amazes me that I was...

    OMG! so annoying!

    I don't know what's worse now. The possibility of RROD or the constant nagging of the PS3 controller that never connects. I have it connected via USB most of the time - and with the really short cable Sony so generously provides. I tried resetting the controller and it doesn't work. It happened...

    The Darkness (PS3) Review

    I probably going to stop putting screenshots in the reviews. I initially thought it was a nice idea, but it only distracts me from the feel of the game and you can definitely get better screenshots elsewhere. http://www.gorsongames.com/Joo...k=view&id=75&Itemid=34

    A few thoughts on Oblivion

    I haven't played Oblivion for a while now, but a question keeps coming up in my head. What more is there to the story besides closing oblivion gates? I played the game for many hours and have closed many oblivion gates. So many in fact that near the end of my 360, I was starting to get annoyed...

    Two PS3 annoyances

    Here are two things that really annoy me about the PS3. 1. The HDMI signal is lost sometimes. Then I have to jiggle the cable to make it get signal back. 2. The remote controller disconnects itself. It happened with the SIXAXIS and maybe the Dualshock as well. Even when the controller...

    Corolla 2003 transmission problems - Anyone Else?

    Corolla 2003 S - Manual Transmission I recently had my clutch and transmission oil replaced about 2-3 months ago. On a trip to Canada about 1 month ago, I started to notice this faint noise from the engine compartment. Last week, that noise became much louder. I took it to the mechanic...

    This sucks. I accidentally deleted my GTA4 save. FIXED!

    I was 35% done and was over 20 hours into the game. During a mission in the game where I had to disguise myself as a Bulgarian, I went to order food to get my health back up because of a bad motorcycle crash. When I tried to order food, I lost complete control of my character. I could press...

    Serious Beef with GTA4... and Gamespot

    I'm 35% done with the game and over 20 hours into it, and so far, it is still disappointing considering the praise. My background, as far as GTA is concerned, is that I've played both Vice City and San Andreas on the PC. They were not bad. I've never played GTA on consoles before, but I have...

    Devil May Cry 4 Woes (solved)

    The god damn Torture Room in the castle in the 3rd level is just torture. I keep hitting the spiked ceiling and then falling down where scarecrows respawn. The torture part is that I have to keep killing them and waste time there instead of focusing on how not to hit the freaking spikes. I've...

    Dualshock 3 VS SIXAXIS

    Now that they've discontinued the SIXAXIS, I guess we have to get a Dualshock 3 in order to experience games as they were intended. I've read some comparisons between the two controllers online and basically I find that everything is just as they say. It's heavier, the color of it is opaque...

    A TV so amazing...

    I was at Best Buy when a 40" Samsung caught my eye. The panel was sort of a translucent purple. Odd color. The buttons were just words on that same plastic-ish panel and just activated by touch. The screen had a semi-reflective material on it: added contrast, minimal reflection. Batman Begins...

    I've had this dream many times over the last few years. It's actually more like a nightmare. My teeth feel like they're growing and growing and my mouth can't possibly open any more to allow for more growth. At the same time I think I'm trying to clench my Jaw to keep the growing down. At...

    DVE HD BASICS (Review)

    I've never owned a DVE calibration disc. Before this disc, I used to use AVIA to calibrate my TV. My TV is a Sony 32S3000, and it is connected via HDMI to a PS3, which I used as my BD player. Opening the HD Basics case reveals three color filters all in one single item. This is great compared...

    Missing HD DVD
