Shadow Complex - 360 Review

Epic is usually been known for their beefy testosterone filled shooters. Whether it’s Gears of War or Unreal Tournament, their original design is quite their own. So how did they decide to go with a completely new, yet classic idea that didn’t involve chain-sawing an alien to death? I’m not sure exactly, but somehow through all the steroid injections that went into Marcus Phoenix and Augustus Cole, there was a bit left over to pump up a genre that has been near and dear to gamers everywhere: the “metroidvania” styled game. Shadow Complex is THAT game, and its style is familiar but given an all new twist. Take the jump for the full review.

Nintendo Gaming Forecast 

It's been 4 years since the official start of our current "Next Gen" generation and it's been quite a ride. Who would've ever known that the little engine that could, Nintendo, who was thought of nearly getting out of the console market, would make an inferior system (spec-wise) and still somehow get on top and pummel the competition into submission. And then we had our ever confident PS3. It's launch came and went, and years have come and gone, and still nothing big has wow'd us even to this day. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. What about the 360? Well, the Microsoft newcomers to the industry in relative terms have become the central hub for gamers. With its steady schedule of hit titles for the hardcore, classics being reimagined and remade for the arcade, and not to mention Xbox Live the 360 has become the staple for anyone who considers themselves a gamer.

So what's next? What can we expect from the big three in the upcoming years? Console cycles have usually lasted about 6 years, but everyone of the current participants have said that they wish to last longer and give the consumer more bang for their buck.

Halo 3 ODST gameplay video - Firefight

In this video, Gamespot gives us an in-depth look at the new Firefight multiplayer mode, featured in Halo 3: ODST. It allows you and up to 3 of your friends to survive the non-stop and ever changing waves of enemy soldiers. They will come in waves and at the end of a wave they will get a skull, which will give them special abilities :O

You will face not only on-foot enemies, but also their advanced weapons, vehicles and sheilds, amung other things. Prepare for "Firefight" in ODST to ruin Thanksgiving ;P

Muramasa: The Demon Blade - Wii Overview

Japanese cover is way prettier

Muramasa was announced about two years ago, around this exact same time too. Heck, I still remember posting the first screens on my old blog back then. Well, the game’s been out in Japan for a few months and it’s finally been released in the states. I’ve been looking forward to it for a while now so I was stoked when I finally got the game popped into the Wii.

Was it a game worth the wait? Or was it hyped for nothing? Take the jump to catch my full overview of the entire experience I had with Muramasa: The Demon Blade.

Minority's in Gaming

Kotaku, taking a breather from their usual "hard hitting" news, has written up an enticing piece about minority's in gaming. It's something everyone should give a read, but the comments are also insightful - giving you a glimpse into what minority gamers think of their racial counterparts parading on stage as stereotypes.

For me personally, as an Hispanic gamer, I've never cared to be honest with you. So what if Bill and Lance are white? Would it make it any different if they were Hispanic? No, but I also know that that's not the point. But speaking for myself I've never cared that I'm a minority. What can I say? I've never put much attention to it. Seeing El Fuerte in SFIV just gave me a laugh. I didn't relate with him, I don't play him, but I thought he was a great character, but not because he was the same race as I am.

The gaming industry is growing - it's barely 2 decades old in the way its operated today, the USA itself is only not even 250 years old yet, and for a good portion of that time it was filled with racism and partialism. To think we can see everyone in an equal light and not racial profile people is a fantasy way of thinking. But I think our job right now isn't so much to see an immediate change and bring equality to everyone and give every minority and majority their own starring role, but instead it's our job to start the change - to start making games that aren't held to racial stereotypes and have a Black, Hispanis, or Asian guy be the next Francis Drake or Solid Snake, not just gangsta's, driver's, and samurai's.
