Reflex Gamer: The Magazine: The Blog II

Somebody’s been playing too many videogames…

From the Wikipedia page for the 2005 Narc remake: "However, as in real life, drug use leads to consequences such as addiction, blackouts, and loss of health and reputation points"

Dear Square-Enix,

Nice background. Your cover art skills are matched only by the recent cherry bombs you've dropped down the gaming toilet. Here's hoping you didn't switch to the DirectX code base for this one.

History

Back in the old days, somebody used to get slugged, really hard, on the arm for the horrible things he'd make real life people do in The Sims 2. That person has been taking it out on the world ever since.

Uncharted 2: The Holy Shit Medley

For those of you still crying yourselves to sleep in your Gears of War 2 pillowcases and bedspreads (We're thinking Cliffy B. here), one intrepid Neogaf member harvested a small sampling of a particular obscenity used to describe Uncharted 2. It's beautiful. For those angered by this blatant attempt to shirk ...

Way of the Samurai 3 post-release preview

While I haven't spent enough time with the latest in the sandbox samurai series, I know it's not gripping me as much as the first game did. It's more confusing to navigate and doesn't really offer up much more than the original. What I do know is this: Developers, you are ...

Addendum: Carmack, please don’t murder us

In researching the previous review to make sure John Carmack did what I thought he did, I found this on his Wikipedia entry: "...when Carmack was 14, he broke into a school to steal Apple II computers, was arrested, and sent for psychiatric evaluation (the report mentions "no empathy for other human beings") Let ...

Wii developer misses former glory, fucks up

Go ahead, laugh. That's the makers of Hudson's Adventure Island and Hudson's Adventure Island 2 feeling the effects of staying on the fringes of game development for too long, and the whole website that isn't banner ads or menus is composed of these errors at the moment. What next, will ...

Man pays way too much for videogame that isn’t Call of Juarez

Just in time for Nissei Week, somebody has celebrated the excess wealth that America uses wisely and purchased a rare Nintendo cartridge, formerly used for some bullshit contest that loosely imitated the Fred Savage/Whatsername flick, The Wizard. Going at a whopping $17,500, it just proves that rare cartridges are the ...

A small correction

In our review of Resident Evil 5, we referred to the writers of Kotaku as sex gods. We meant to write "sex offenders". We're sorry for any confusion. Comic Shop Guy quote of the day: "ALL Pokemon are sexy". With a straight face. Stupid expo rats of the day: Asking if we ...

Gamespot and their dimension-hopping users

I have to stop and eat some humble pie here. Not only has Gamespot become so popular that it is now pulling users from some alternate dimension where Shenmue Online was released, but the game also has more users than I had anticipated.

An online magazine spouting off like a broken faucet of opinion and information right into your damned faces.

I didn’t want to have to do this…

Okay, I'm pissed at Steam. You should be too. Remember when Gabe Newell was promising that this would lower to cost of games to the user? Well, aside from sales, I just see Valve pocketing the difference and ordering a few dozen more turkeys to be delivered to Newell's door. As ...

Somebody seriously wrote this

"With Risen, Piranha Bytes introduces a fresh, new setting. The game’s protagonist is shipwrecked after a storm and finds himself on a mysterious island. An active volcano dominates the scene. Ancient temple ruins have recently risen from the ground, and bizarre creatures infest the island." So it's either Crysis or Serious ...

Buck up, Sony/Free Command & Conquer games

If any of you happens to be a suicide counselor, we need you to go over to Mike's apartment. His PS3 has broken down and he's sequestered himself to his room, playing Shenmue in some kind of self-flaggelating apology to himself. We're pretty Sony-oriented over this way, but we're not ...

BLOOD BOWL, A MANLY GAME FOR MEN WHO ARE MANLY, AND MEN

I fell in love with this game in the middle of the tutorial. A little text box instructed me to tell one of my line backers to commit a foul. A right click brought a human player football player to run up to an unconscious rat man and kick him ...
