Assassin’s Creed 2: Bonfire of the Vanities — Less Vagina More Gameplay

posted 02-26-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

After disliking Assassin’s Creed 2’s Battle of Forli downloadable chapter, the part of me that is a blithering idiot told me to give the second chapter Bonfire of the Vanities a try. As proven by the picture of me from back in college when I ran through the streets pantsless with a clown wig on, [...]

Assassins Creed 2: Battle of Forli — Just a Vagina

posted 02-26-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

After having such a good time with Resident Evil 5: Lost in Nightmares, I jumped right in to Assassin’s Creed 2: Battle of Forli. Unfortunately, Battle of Forli proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that not all DLC is created equal. What I thought was going to be an awesome continuation of the Assassin’s [...]

Heavy Rain With a Chance of Quicktime Events

posted 02-21-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

Heavy Rain is a game I have been looking forward to for some time now. It is exactly the type of game a linear RPG nut like me wants to play, in that it is not much of a game at all. The game is basically one long quick-time event (with interspersed sessions of walking [...]

Aliens VS Predator Review

posted 02-18-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

Let’s get one thing straight. I am not looking for movie based games that are good. I am just looking for movie based games that don’t totally suck. Aliens Vs Predator is a franchise that has spawned many games that weren’t really good, but that solidly didn’t suck. In fact it’s been so long since [...]

Game Over — Why Pro Gamers Are Assholes Part 2: Time VS Attitude

posted 02-16-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

Do you want to know what is one of the most insulting things you could say to a pro gamer? “I have better things to do than learn to be good at video games.” We also would have accepted, “I could be that good if I practiced as much as he did” and any other [...]

Sands of Destruction — A Magnificent Disappointment

posted 02-12-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

Since all the big JRPG franchises have seemingly fled from consoles, I have needed to turn to portable systems for my RPG fix. Sands of Destruction is a recent JRPG published by Sega, that was done by the same team that brought us classics such as Xenogears and Grandia, and the same composer who did [...]

Dante’s Inferno — This Game Is Hell (Obvious Pun)

posted 02-11-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

Dante’s Inferno … hooo boy.
Ever since I saw the first trailer for the game, it was clear to me that it was a God of War clone that took some serious artistic liberties with Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. However, I did not know then what I know now, that Visceral Games was one hundred [...]

M.A.G. — The Wii Sports of Shooters

posted 02-09-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

M.A.G. or Massive Action Game, is sort of an anthem for shooter fans everywhere. Hell, it has Action right in the title. It basically ignores all the fluff that most shooters have and puts you right into the action, with a good 255 of your buddies. The idea is to put you into a realistic [...]

posted 02-04-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

(For the purposes of this study, I will be using the term pro gamer, to refer to anyone who plays games competitively, much like a sport, and casual gamer to refer to … well … basically everyone else. I do not mean to imply that every pro gamer is making money off their trade, nor [...]

Game Over — Why Pro Gamers Are Assholes: My First Fighting Game

posted 02-03-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

I still remember one of my first experiences with fighting games. I was young, and on vacation with my parents. I walked into an arcade, stepped up to a Street Fighter II cabinet, and promptly wasted 5 dollars on getting my face stomped into the ground 20 times by someone who was much better and [...]

No More Heroes 2 — Some People Fuck At Funerals, I Cut Off Heads

posted 01-29-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

A while back, a little game called No More Heroes was released for the Wii. It was a hardcore game in a time when the Wii had even fewer hardcore offerings than it does now, back when everyone was giving Mario blowjobs for his recent space adventure. It was made by Suda 51, the brilliant [...]
