Here. Why? Because the first thing I thought of reading that headline was “There was a PC port of DMC4?” And I’m almost always up to date on my game news. Imagine how the casual customer feels. Promotion, people! It’s generally required for sales.

There’s this amazing site with a good selection of videogame soundtracks. Nerdy? Yes. Cool? You betcha. Included are the excellent soundtracks from the original NiGHTS Into Dreams and Super Mario Galaxy, as well as many others. Now all I need is a bigger hard drive…
Enjoy it!

EA has decided to rename their highly somewhat anticipated survival horror game. The game, formerly known as Dead Space, will now be called DOOMshock.
Not really, but you can check out the (admittedly nice looking, but derivative as hell) second trailer for the game over on Joystiq.

A hit list of four people on a piece of paper does not a plot to commit murder make. Seriously, try finding a high school student who doesn’t hate four people in their school - I guarantee you can’t. Just because someone was (a) stupid enough to write down the people they hate on a [...]

Under the category of: How Stupid Can You Get, Grand Theft Auto 4 is making headlines. Why? For the same reason all the other games in the series have. I’ll give you guys a hint, you tried it three times already - it didn’t work. Why? No one cares. First amendment and stuff, you know [...]

Well, actually I’ve been using the Vuze client for a while - but only for the Azureus bittorrent client, not the Vuze service itself. Today, however, I actually decided to check out what was on Vuze and ended up downloading a low budget post-apocalyptic affair called Afterworld, which comes in five episode packs. Downloading was [...]

I actually got it on Sunday, I’ve just been too lazy to post about it yet. Anyways, it’s obviously good as expected, though it doesn’t seem like any major improvement over Melee. Anyways, my friend code is 1891-0856-1769.

Completely ignoring the fact that by letting the 360 gain this much ground Sony already lost the console wars, PS3 fanboy has 10 reasons why they think the PS3 is still relevant this year, only one of which is actually well, relevant.
1. Blu-Ray Won: Yes, so PS3 will probably become the dominant HD movie player [...]

Bioshock, yesterday actually, and with the good ending. I’d basically stopped playing it until about a week ago, but once I started again I went through it like nonstop. It gets better as it goes along, and it is one of the better games to come out any time recently, even if it is vastly [...]

Joystiq has the first trailer and screens for American McGee’s Grimm. While there’s no way to tell how it will play yet, I was really hoping for something a little more Alice and a lot less Billy & Mandy. It could be good yet, but so far I’m not enthused. Let’s just hope if American [...]

Mario Kart Wii is going to support “normal” control schemes via classic controller or GameCube controller, rather than strictly going with the motion sensitive Wiimote on side approach. I hate playing racing games like that, having tried Need For Speed Carbon on Wii at Codeman’s. This seems much more sensible in maintaining the precision that’s [...]

Ridiculously out of date stuff, here’s a picture of my pwnage NiGHTS pumpkin from Halloween that I never got around to posting. It looks better lit up, but overall came out really good.

I’m kind of tempted to upgrade to the newly release firmware 3.80 M33-2, but I think I’ll probably be holding off just cause there’s nothing I really desperately need the update for yet, at least not until I find a game that requires the higher version, which might not be long but as far as [...]

Shoddy AI programming. Actually, there’s a very good excuse…AI is pain in the ass, but my point is if you can’t complete a mission after 15+ tries (Avalanche in campaign mode in Unreal Tournament 3) because 3 AI teammates can’t hold down a node that you could have held all by yourself, there’s a problem.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been delayed yet again, this time to March 9th. I think they need to rename this one Super Smash Bros. Forever, and maybe they’ll actually get it out the door before Duke.

Seriously, I haven’t posted anything in forever. There’s a whole series of gaming related posts that need to be written, but I’ve just been too lazy. In short Amplitude (PS2) is amazing (and well worth the $10 it goes for at GameStop), Super Mario Galaxy is unsurprisingly amazing, NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is good, not [...]

I was just looking over my PC games, and happened to notice Tomb Raider III, which I didn’t know I owned since I’m generally not a fan of the series. But it gets stranger, after pulling said disc off the shelf, I realize it’s the German edition of Tomb Raider III. I think I [...]

Did I decide it was a good idea to buy a PSP? Why, oh why? Not that I don’t like the foolish little thing, it’s nice - especially with homebrew, just that for a hundred dollars more I could have had a damned Xbox 360, which I would get ever so much more use out [...]

Who decide it’s a good idea to release something on the 18th of December, forcing you into a store within a week of Christmas if you want to get it (or force your parents to get it for you). Of course, I haven’t even done any Christmas shopping yet anyways, but it’s still obnoxious. Especially [...]

While details are still…umm…virtually nonexistent, Deus Ex 3 is has now officially in development! Oh my God, can you say game of the year 2010 (or 2009 if you want to be really optimistic).
It’s supposed to be getting a 24 month development-cycle, which is normal for anything less than a blockbuster release and longer than [...]

I’m sick as a dog, it’s awful. It might be strep throat, I’m headed to the doctor at 8:45.
On A side note, Super Mario Galaxy has gotten great reviews and the screenshots and videos are becoming more and more appealing…birthday present, perhaps? *Cough* My birthday’s Friday *Cough*

This humble little site has now been the recipient of more than 1,000 views! Ooh, aah! This calls for celebration. OK, here’s you’re gift - I promise not to wait another week before posting again. I know, you’re overjoyed. Fortunately Codeman was kind enough to write something to fill in the major post gap.
Also, I’m [...]

Of the greatest comic genius to ever hit the internet! Yup, this is kind of old news, but for anyone (most of you) who have not yet been treated to the comic brilliance of StrifeToons, you must proceed over here to see the amazingly funny cheesy pilot episode of StrifeToons! Followed, of course, by watching [...]

Since I’ve been a contributor for over a month, and haven’t contributed, I decided that posting might be a decent idea. So, I’m Codeman, Dan’s friend and fellow Comp-Sci major. Hopefully I can think of some interesting things and remember to post them once in a while. If anyone out there happens to play video [...]

…For the Wii is now mine . First impressions: it’s fun, it sounds nice, good song selection, it looks like shit. I mean like looks worse than the PS2 original. The notes and venues look fine, but the singer and drummer look terrible. The male singer looks like a fricking gorilla-man, at least close [...]

I finally beat the second boss of Sonic Rush for Nintendo DS, which had been holding me up forever. It only took me like two tries too. Strange, I remember it being like insanely difficult. Oh, well.
Mother decided to miss my package today, so I don’t get my wireless music system ’til Monday. I’m annoyed [...]

Jack Thompson is now even more of a fucking retard than he was 5 fucking minutes ago. Thompson (a.k.a. Jackass of the Known Universe) is now trying to get Halo 3 banned in Florida as being a public nuisance. You know, the same trick he already tried on Rockstar’s Bully, and not surprisingly failed to [...]

Apparantly the starred letters in the box art of the Nintendo’s upcoming Super Mario Galaxy spell out “U R MR GAY”.” Intentional? I doubt it. Funny? Oh, most definitely. Going to be changed before release? You can count on it. See image (grayed out to better demonstrate letters in question):

Is really pissing me off at the moment. Almost every single PSP homebrew program in existence is being rereleased to work on PSP slim and it’s completely cluttering the news sites. Not to mention that the slim is a completely worthless upgrade, since it’s virtually the same and PSP wasn’t exactly “thick” to begin with. [...]
