Think Better, Think Bigger!
Silent heroes are a video game staple, from the days when there wasn’t really much of a choice to the modern days where their use is deliberate. Some silent heroes make sense while others don’t, and I’ll go through a few of them in this piece, as well as explain why the Silent Hero is such a good thing, why […]
If there’s a post that’ll cost me my low amount of readers, this is it! But what the hell, I live to write! I had a random thought this morning (an especially dangerous event): Why do we use the word tolerant and tolerance when used with different lifestyles? Why not acceptance? Tolerance by definition means the ability to live with […]
WARNING: Spoilers & Intelligent arguments, so if those aren’t exactly your cup of tea, now’s the time to jump ship! I liked Iron Man 3, I thoroughly enjoyed it. That being said, I have some issues with it. Let me explain. When I first read that the plot involved The Mandarin and Extremis, I was stoked. I’m a hard-core Iron […]
A week or so ago while working on the Dark Souls reviews I was reading up on sources, finding images and looking at videos. I found that “Hardcore game” was a common description for it and it got me thinking. Nowadays games aren’t only classified in genres or length or even good or bad, but also casual and hardcore, and gamers […]
OVERVIEW: Dark Souls is the spiritual successor to Demons’ Souls by From Software and just like that game, it is brutally difficult and unforgiving. Both games are Action RPGs, […]
Hello all, just here to wish you all an absolutely fantastic 2013. As for me, 2012 was a very good year. Sure, it had its disappointments, its bad moments, I got angry, sad, I raged, I was frustrated, etc. But there was also quite a lot of joy, of accomplishment, of new experiences and a great deal of learning, which […]
“You crack me up little buddy…” Is something you’ll hear quite a bit in Sam & Max, and it never gets old or annoying. For those like […]
Come join the party in the dust and the sand…Says a Borderlands 2 inspired song by Gavin Dunne from Escapist Magazine’s Miracle of Sound (which by the way, yes, that […]
I had originally planned on writing one big massive review of all the Telltale games, but I still haven’t finished playing through The Walking Dead and Wallace & Gromit (on […]
This is the first of many reviews to come, aimed not at potential buyers just as a game is about to be release (you have IGN & Gamespot for that), […]
WARNING – SPOILERS AHEAD! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Diablo 3, a lot’s been said about it and now’s my turn. Let’s get a few things out of the way: No, it’s not Diablo 2, it’s not that game with a better engine and it was never meant to be. The game was never going to fulfill the fanbase’s expectations, mostly […]
As of 6am today, all of Venezuela, my country, is “celebrating” its Presidential Elections…just wanted to say that. And now for something completely different! Games, specifically, Video Games. Being a visual media, we have to accept that Visuals, the graphics are important, the question is, just how much? I think that like with many things, it depends on the case […]
Second on these gaming posts. This one’s all about genres. No, I’m not gonna define the genres, you can check Wikipedia for those, but I am gonna talk about my favorites and mention a few games in each, little gems you might not know about. Let’s kick it off with RPGS, my favorite.
This week I’ve been pondering the question: What makes a game “a classic”? Classics are, by definition, those that best represent their genre, style, etc. But how is it that of two games one is a classic and the other isn’t? When both do the same things? You could say the one that releases first is the classic, but that’s […]
I will say this only once. I HATE POLITICS. It didn’t used to be like that. Once upon a time, politics, politicians, governments and such didn’t even cross my mind, the only time it did was when there was an election coming. Now, politics are part of our everyday lives, and we listen to politicians argue and bicker at least […]
This won’t be a popular topic, and won’t endear me to some people, but the truth (or at least my truth) must be said. This is about relationships, most specifically, about the protocols and hurdles we all put in front of us to make something as simple as Person A + Person B incredibly complicated. By “WE”, I mean the […]
