Resident Evil 5, a special message of hope

Mike showed up at the store the other day. I wasn't sure if he was in jail again or if I had accidentally sold him into white slavery again, but either way it was about time to start fishing through the bin of get well cards that confused old people ...

God Hand. Hell yeah.

We got more of the recently out-of-print God Hand at the store. NOW I'm excited. Playing God Hand is like strapping your face to a bottle rocket and then aiming it at your neighbor's cat, with the same net result. This game is simply one of the greatest things ever pressed ...

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 ...

SNES controller closeout sale

A customer who bought a Retro Duo a few weeks ago came in looking for some NES games and some new controllers, since he felt the RD's packed-in gamepads were too stiff, which is a fair assessment. I stock some brand new SNES clone controllers, so he asked how those ...

Halo soundtrack to be released to massive amounts of stifled yawns.

Just what it says. The copy-paste-insert one snarky comment experts at Kotaku have pasted the entire self-congratulatory press release so that the rest of us don't have to. It's sure to include such hits as "War Drums - Halo 1" and "War Drums - Halo 2" before moving on to ...

The website, it is a bit less desolate

You may have noticed that the store section of Reflex Gamer kind of resembles the landscape in Mad Max, except without the mohawks and a drunken Mel Gibson demanding to see some reporter's tits. We've been working on it. At this point we have finished the software sections for the PS2 ...

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 ...
