Like Video games? I do too! I made this mainly to write about games so if that's your thing then feel free to stop by! While you're at it, follow me on twitter, my name is...You guessed it! Burdmayn
Not many people have heard of this game, and I’m sure that even fewer people played it. Now’s your chance to correct that mistake for merely $10, that’s an absolute STEAL, BUY IT NOW.
The state of gaming is pretty funny…
Out of every game that came out this fall, two of my favorites were made by Nintendo. Mario 3D Land and Zelda are technically lacking in terms of their visuals but still manage to look amazing. They feature neither online play nor achievements, and yet they’ve taken up over 50 hours of my time and still counting. Neither game featured any game-ruining bugs and will likely never see a patch to their content.
This is exactly what console gaming should be like: Fun, fast, and satisfying. Jim Sterling of Destructoid.com makes a very good point when he says that current gen consoles have turned into shitty PC’s. I bought Assassin’s Creed Revelations at midnight, and I had to wait 30 some minutes before playing it because of a day one patch and install times. It just seems like the 360 and PS3 are plagued with issues like this and everyone accepts them. In the meantime, Nintendo is making some fantastic games and we attack them for “not being up to current gen standards.” I won’t lie, I do spend the majority of my gaming time with my PS3, but not this fall. This isn’t what console gaming should be about, and I’m really hoping that the next Xbox and Playstation fix this problem.
Game of the Year.
Game of the Year isn’t a title handed to one game by some high figure of gaming judgement. Just about every game site will give out their own award, and they’re almost always going to be different.
So arguments about what will be GOTY are irrelevant, what you enjoy the most is what matters. If you really feel like you need someone else to validate your opinion, just find the site that picked your favorite game.
Just got back…
from the midnight launch for Skyrim. I didn’t even plan on buying the game initially but I got caught up in the heat of the moment. There really is no feeling quite like being surround by people who all share the same interest. Gaming brings us all together at its best, I want to be a part of this crowd for the rest of my life.
So the 3DS is getting an ugly Add-on

Just click on the link and you can see the horror. The thing is ugly, bulky, and has the gaming world ablaze with fury and speculation as to what Nintendo intends to do with it.
The way I see it, the add-on will be an optional kit meant solely for the 3DS version of Monster Hunter Tri. Why do I think this? Well because Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii had two control options: Wii-mote and Nunchuk, or Classic Controller. Seeing as the 3DS already offers the same controls as the Wii-mote setup did, this add-on will be the equivalent of the classic controller.
Now, this could also be a crazy move by Nintendo and potentially lead to a hardware revision, but I really don’t think they’re THAT dumb. We’re too hot on the heels of their 3DS price drop, from which they gave away games to keep day one buyers happy. If they want to keep their customers loyal, they wouldn’t pull a move THAT bold.
Well it looks like the wait just got a little harder. Kotaku has a write up on Nintendo’s new bundle for the game, its $69.99 and comes with some cool extra stuff. The bundle includes the game, the Golden Zelda themed Wii-remote, and a soundtrack CD featuring orchestral music from their 25th Anniversary concert series. For $20 extra this seems like a pretty sweet deal to me, what do you think? (Details and pictures are in the Kotaku article, linked at the top of the page)
Last night on Destructoid I stumbled across this neat little nuggets of news. Apparently not content to be offering the “Signature edition” of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations at regular price, Gamestop decided to sweeten the deal and bump up the price with their “Ultimate edition.” For $99, you’ll get the “Signature edition” of the game, a 7” tall Ezio Statue, and a highly detailed model of Leonardo’s flying machine. The Flying machine requires some assembly, but once put together it has a wing-span of over 2 feet, a harness for the Ezio figure, and a cannon that pivots and fires mini projectiles.
Sadly, there are no real details on the quality of the models, besides what Gamestop mentions on their site. Nonetheless, this is definitely enough to get an extra $40 out of me.
If you don’t have the money to spare, or aren’t sold without knowing how well made the models are, fear not! I’ll be sure to pick this up and do an unboxing video as soon as I can get my grubby little hands on it. The game, no matter what edition you get, is out November 15. (The link to the product page is in the title)
Here you go folks, fresh from the SCEA blog: the definitive unboxing of Uncharted 3’s collectors edition. Further proof that Nolan North is a very entertaining man.
I’m loving how Infamous 2, and now Uncharted 3, offer cool little items that you can actually wear and use in their special editions. Because there’s nothing cooler then showing off your love for a game everywhere you go. (No sarcasm intended)
Sonic CD!
Previously confirmed for XBLA, Sonic CD is now set to launch on just about every console this holiday. Every console except the Wii that is.. Having never played Sonic CD before, I couldn’t be more excited for the chance to finally do so. Oh, and did I mention it will have wide-screen support? No more “4.3” with generic borders like Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles had. There is no official release date as of yet.
