I love my manga, besides gaming Manga and anime are next in line in my collection of ridiculously geeky things. I am slowly filling up my shelf with manga books and dvds. The story telling, the style and the awesome amount of over the top combat its truley a great read for any geek such as myself. I am forever coming across titles I havn’t heard of. One of my most recent disscoveries was Fist Of The North Star a [...]

As you’ve probably guessed, the real game I got this for is Halo: Reach. Yup, the beta is out next Monday May 3rd, and I CAN NOT WAIT. I really like the gritty look of Reach, plus hey, everyone loves jetpacks. Halo 3 is STILL one of the most played multiplayer games on Live, and I myself can account for that. It’s a ballad of vibrant eye poptitude coupled with explosions and badass vehicles. One of my faves is Sand [...]

I know I know! Blogs around the net have done this, but if your as excited as I am about the Halo Reach beta this monday, you could probably understand why I am doing this post. This is going to be one hell of an experience, as I was never a part of the Halo 3 Beta….Ok I confess I have not been apart of any Live Beta, so this will be a perfect opportunity break my Beta virginity as [...]
Now, the recent news concerning the announcement of Marvel vs Capcom 3 has got me buzzing, with the sudden news of a trailer, artwork, some confirmed characters and a lot of silhouettes giving us a few hints as to who else we can expect to see in next year’s release. Of course, we could wait to find out who’s coming - but we could be waiting a while. So I bring to you – my predictions for the roster of Marvel vs [...]
Ah, shotguns. Shotguns shotguns shotguns. I love shotguns. In videogames, I mean. When it comes to games where shooting is a primary feature, there’s always one kind of gun I will seek out, and keep with me no matter how pointless or useless it is in the current situation. This only makes the situation worse in the current era, where so many games are adamant on copying the Halo system of two weapons at a time. Still, I can’t deny [...]
In keeping with the Capcom fighter theme we have had going since the first announcement of the new street fighter, I thought I would give you some more info on next weeks release of Super Street Fighter IV. And its tournament mode. I could hear the sighs of relief going out across the gaming universe as avid Street Fighter fans read the title of this article, and yes, I am somewhat pleased too. The fact that Super Street Fighter IV is now implementing a [...]
In my eyes, Capcom create the best fighting games out there, and nothing compares. Tekken? Too button mashy. Virtua Fighter? Too realistic and difficult to pick up and play. Mortal Kombat? Too cheesy. Now, I’m not saying that I don’t think these series’ have their merits – it’s generally personal preference to which fighter suits you best – but games like Capcom vs SNK 2 and Street Fighter IV are examples of the few fighters that keep me genuinely hooked, not getting simply played [...]
A while back you may remember me going a bit halo crazy over the halo reach beta trailer. You also may remember me doing an analysis of what I thought each multiplayer mode in the game was going to do and be like. Well having scouted the net today I have actually found some solid info stating what each multi player mode is going to be like. So am I right? Lets do a comparison shall we? To save you [...]
