NBA Live ‘08 is Too Real | Saturday, September 8th, 2007
Posted in Rants, serious games, Xbox 360, PC
Take a look at NBA.com’s new NBA Live ‘08 screenshot gallery. The tendency for publishers to spice up ad materials aside, the graphics are the most photorealistic I’ve ever seen. More excuse for video game addicts to avoid real exercise, since they’ll be busy living their hoop dreams through buttons and the D-Pad.
Did your jaw […]
Does Nintendo care about Metroid Prime Corruption? | Thursday, August 9th, 2007
Posted in Nintendo, Rants
It looks like Nintendo of America is soooo busy doing PR’s for Wii Fit and Super Smash Brawl that it has forgotten one of the games that gave hope to the Gamecube (not that it had enough, but thats another story). I talked about how Nintendo moved away from catering to the hardcore gamers, […]
Pay to Play or Free to Play | Sunday, August 5th, 2007
Posted in Rants, Local Games, PC, MMORPG
Local game publishers need to earn somehow from locally published games. The amount of money that goes into development, management, support and marketing these games is really no joke. We currently have two game models: One is Free to Play, where you actually can play the game for free but premium items are bought in […]
Why im sticking to World of Warcraft | Saturday, August 4th, 2007
Posted in Rants, serious games, PC, MMORPG
After all the hoopla surrounding World of Warcraft’s new expansion, i got to talk to one of my friends who plays WoW and Asian made MMO’s. You know what i heard? “I’d rather play World of Warcraft than another Asian MMO”. or something to that effect. And that made me say “I’m actually reactivating my […]

Do i need Quad Cores ? | Sunday, July 29th, 2007
Posted in Upgrade, Rants, PC
Yuga posted that the prices of quad cores have gone down by half. The question im asking myself now is that: is it worth going to quad core right here and now? Don’t get me wrong, slashing prices almost always is in the best interest of the consumers but if you’re someone who has been […]
On Assassin’s Creed and AI Awareness | Friday, July 27th, 2007
Posted in Rants, Xbox 360, PC
Anybody else see those awesome Assassin’s Creed gameplay videos at E3? No, not the ones with hottie dev Jade Reynolds, but the ones where protagonist Altair moves throughout 12th century Jerusalem. First Altair dives off a building onto a haystack, then casually walks with citizens. He deftly avoids a barricade by throwing a soldier off […]
Why im not yet upgrading to DirectX 10 | Monday, July 23rd, 2007
Posted in Rants
Looking to upgrade to Direct X 10 and Windows Vista? I think it would be best if we hold off for a couple of months. Why? Aside from the fact that I’ve got no money to splurge on an upgrade, there are simply not that many games that take advantage of DX10. Sure we got […]
How Nintendo broke my console heart at E3 2007 | Wednesday, July 18th, 2007
Posted in Rants, Wii
Ok, I admit it. I’m a big Nintendo fan. I grew up playing their games and loved to hate Sega’s Genesis. I also beat most of the games i played including games which most consider difficult such as: Crocodile Dundee, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Metal Gear, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, Contra (with no deaths), all […]

Posted in Rants
Waittaminnit… That’s the Regginator’s line. It ain’t even E3! (yeah, E3 2007 blows.) Anyway, My name is Kiven and i’m taking over Space Invaded. Why? because i can land/refuel perfectly in Top Gun, beat Contra without dying, and whoop your ass in NBA 2k7. or 2k8. or 2k9. and oh yeah, i probably done this […]
