Reflex Gamer: The Magazine: The Blog II

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.

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 ...

Muramasa: I’ll trade your amnesia for my deja vu

"Muramasa follows the story of Kisuke, a fugitive who has lost his memory, including that of a crime that he committed and Momohime, a lithe female ronin possessed by a dark spirit..." This is where I stopped reading. Garnering favorable comparisons to the pretty damn cool Odin Sphere, it sounds ...

Fair and balanced, on some PR schill’s pulsating member

Geoff Keighley, consummate game critic wait that's not on his profile anymore G4 television producer whore, has taken time out of his busy schedule of writing nice things about himself on his website to taking time out from his busy schedule of writing nice things about himself on Wikipedia to ...

Devil May Cry, only more literary!

Okay, maybe I'm being overly cynical from my repeated exposure to some of the most vile licensed shit imaginable, but making some kind of violent video game based on Dante's Inferno strikes me as fairly stupid. Not like hardcore CRPG players who are so smart they can thoroughly judge a ...

What did we learn this month, kids?

Don't pay money for Qore until they turn it into a Life With Playstation channel, definitely. The only useful bit of info I gleaned from that thing is that the dev team for Bionic Commando is pandering to an audience that's not quite ready for that big leap to a ...

So I might actually buy this

My continuing problems getting PSN to recognize my fucking bank card aside, I normally refuse to purchase game add-ons and I've told friends, neighbors, and random strangers at the deli who are waiting for their order and can't quickly move away from me that the day games use content download ...

Halo Wars to gamers: Hello? Are you there?

Halo Wars: So epic that they had to reannounce the release date! Or maybe they're realizing that an RTS caters to Halo fans about as well as free soda appeals to a busload of diabetic Mormons. Halo Wars' anticipated sales of four entire units consist of two confused Halo fans ...

Metal Gear Solid Touch announced for iPhone, 360 fanboys implode

Forgive this indulgence, in an unkind week it's a small satisfaction to be had at the expense of 360 fanboys: "This is the inevitable port of Metal Gear Solid 4 for the 360." "The green color and the (universal) power symbol clearly indicate a 360 title." And this: But no, in spite of overwhelming ...

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 ...
