The debate that has been plaguing FPS fans for what seems like centuries are First Person Shooters better on the PC or on a Console? The hardcore FPS fans out there sware by the PC, saying that using the mouse is faster and more accurate. Where console gamers like the fact that FPS games simulate shooters more by actually using your trigger finger and shooting down PC fans when they point out you can change the controller sensitivity.
Hey there, how’s it going? What the heck is going on here? Hey, I ask the questions here, not you. You were really drunk and angry about stuff, so you were playing videogames, then decided to choke yourself and touch yourself at the same time. Hey, I don’t remember doing that at all! Well, you did, and now, you’re in a videogame of some kind.
When a new console comes around I have two gut feelings (one more than the average human) one, ‘oh goody a new console I have to save up half a year for’ and two, ‘ok so this, this and this just came out, is having a new console a bit too soon?’. As the new Nintendo is on the console far much earlier that I expected it to be, I ask is it too soon for the next-gen? and will [...]
Contributed by Andrew Highton Since February 1 2007, gamers have had the chance to extract more satisfaction from a particular game by merely completing specific criteria for an in-game challenge. Games have been given a whole new depth and in many ways have become more appealing to players just by having these. That date was when Microsoft made it mandatory for developers to implement achievements into all games from then on requiring an allotted amount of achievements that would total [...]
It’s been a couple of years since we’ve been privy to the adventures of the manly men of the Gears of War franchise and testosterone levels so high and events so ridiculous I literally wouldn’t blink if the Gears stripped half-naked and showed off their glistening muscles in a volleyball match against the locust inside a riftworm during a razorhail storm. Literally none of those things will make sense to any newcomers to the series. In a move much like [...]
Last year saw the release of Sonic 4: Episode 1, and I was over the moon at the very thought that the speedy blue hedgehog would make a return to his 2D roots. As a true original Sonic fan, I downloaded the game soon as it came out and started playing. This wasn’t the Sonic I was hoping for….. Don’t get me wrong, Sonic 4 Episode 1 was a good game; it was reminiscent of the 2D Sonic games, but [...]
Everyone reading this right now, I need you to sit down. I’m about to deliver news that may be incredibly shocking and could cause you to fall off your chair, which is why I recommend you put a crash mat around where you’re sitting because this news could change your life forever… Some people don’t like videogames. Not only that, but some of them actively refuse to fully understand them, revel in their ignorance and limited knowledge and go on [...]
0900 Hours: It’s my first day as a police officer in Seacrest County! I’ve been training years for the opportunity to be a law enforcer, and it’s finally paid dividends! It’s really odd though; I couldn’t actually find the police station. I literally just woke up in a totally sweet ride and all of a sudden a lady came over the intercom and told me to go arrest some wrongdoers. Not exactly how I pictured my first day, but I [...]
Last week saw Capcom’s Captivate expo where the infamous japanese developer/publisher announced some earth shattering new info that got every Capcom fan either squealing in excitement or fainting at the very thought of how epic these announcements are. Even though there is a lot to talk about in regards to what was announced, I am going to focus my attention to the Fighters. Capcom are infamous for their 2D fighters and what has been announced is pretty epic in my opinion, [...]
