  • I don't know about anyone else, but RIDE looks kinda fun. A definite learning curve and agility requirement, but better than Wii. You play this game with any consistency and you'll have shredded calves.

  • That trailer invoked nothing of the original feel of Bonk's Adventure. I chose a Turbo Grafix 16 over its competitors because of Bonk's Adventure (I was graduating from sixth grade, give me a break). Still interested, will reserve judgement till a hands-on.

  • I feel by the time I learn all the weaknesses for the creatures, I'll be done playing Dragon Age for it to be of any help. It would be especially useful for elemental buffs and Shale's (the golem) equipment. Please add what you know. I'll be updating as I learn more. Looking specifically for type of attack (physical or magical) and elemental weakness (nature, ice, fire, wind, etc.), but if ...

  • My quad-core with a $300 graphics card (don't know name, don't really care. It's for a real-time graphics editor) would easily handle this game, but there's just something about PC games that make my skin crawl. Don't like 'em. Though I must admit, Dragon Age on the 360 seems a little overwhelming. Too much going on for what the controller can do. I'm managing; and loving it, but... I just need to play very ...

  • Dryker commented on snide's editorial review Dragon Age: Origins
    If Jeff or Ryan reviewed Dragon Age: Origins, they'd give it 3 STARS. So, they gave the review to Dave. Not to say I disagree with his review, but only question Giantbomb's supposed ubiased stance when it comes to reviews. This is for 360, PS3, and the PC!? Some how I doubt Dave played much, if any, of the 360 and PS3 versions.  I'm only a few hours into Dragon Age, but the ...

Dude! What's up with Gamestop's price drop on titles like Uncharted 2, Brutal legend, and Demon's Souls (to name a few)? This is great for people who haven't bought them yet, but those of us who bought them day one are screwed. I bought Brutal Legend, and when I saw the price drop, I called Gamestop and asked if there was any refund offer for early purchasers. There isn't! Only two weeks have passed and the game gets a price drop. This is bullshit for early buyers. Speak up Giantbomb regulars, how do you feel about this? 
New price is $49.99. As little as two weeks after its release. That might as well be a release price, if you ask me.

Jeff has brought to my attention an article written by Dave Halverson of Play magazine concerning the current state of videogame criticism through reference towards the professional reception of Golden Axe: Beast Rider. Here is the article if you are interested: http://www.playmagazine.com/index.php?fuseaction=SiteMain.showGamePage&Game_ID=887
I am curious to hear your thoughts on the matter.

This was meant to be posted in response to a question to the effect of, "What videogame characters would make good presidential running mates?" I don't know what I did wrong...

Kain and Raziel. I always found Kain's moral relativism pragmatic and sensible, and think he would make an efficient Commander and Chief. Raziel would make an ideal vice president with his more left-wing, tree hugging, checks and balances for Kain's more manic moments.

Overlord and Overlord: Raising Hell (the expansion) were some of the most refreshing releases to come out of the gaming industry in quite some time. On August 14th, Codemasters posted an article on their website announcing not just a sequel, but three unique titles: Overlord 2 for the 360 and PS3, Overlord Dark Legends for the Wii, and Minions for the DS. There are screenshots depicting minions fighting something like an abominable snowman and minions riding wolves. I don't know about you, but I'm stoked. Can't wait for this one. Codemasters is slating them for some time in '09.

Jump down the Rabbit Hole (X360)
Fable 2, in a word, is magical. Peter Molyneux's ( and Lionhead Studios ) Albion is a trip down the Rabbit Hole to Alice's Wonderland, well, at least the Wonderland the creator intended before Disney snatched it up and drizzled sickly sweet sacrine all over it. Prepare to be transported to a world gone mad, whether it be the ...

Feeling strangely liberated since I quit using QuickSilver. Plugins didn't work worth spit in Snow Leopard anyway. Spotlight for life?
