Big Surf Island: Ups and Downs

Despite some nagging issues Burnout Paradise is one of my favorite games this gen. I put in more hours than I’m willing to admit in the main game and I eyed the Island ever since it dropped. So the other day I decided to take the roughly $13 plunge into Big Surf Island. I never bought DLC before this so it was a pretty geeky watershed moment for me. To put it short, BSI is a well designed addition to the mainland. The problem is that it left me wanting for even more than what it offered events-wise.

Fight Night Round 4 (Demo): Issues and Impressions

I got the news that EA’s Fight Night Round 4 dropped via joystiq and damn near jumped out my chair. EA has been running off at the mouth about how much better this game is than 3 and it looked great in the videos. Still hype isn’t worth anything if you can’t back it up. Naturally I downloaded the game on standby as I watched ball.

A couple of hours and a Cavs win later I got a chance to check out the demo. I opened it and saw the opening splash screen. I waited a few moments and nothing moved. Moments turned to minutes and I thought my xbox froze.

Deal of The Weekend: Orange Box $9.99 On Steam!!

I upped a big picture because this is a BIG DEAL! Ok that was an awful joke...

I’m not a big PC gamer. With that said I’ve been thinking about getting The Orange Box for a long time. It seemed like a good deal but I waited on it for the longest.

I’m glad that patience finally paid off.

First Battlefield Bad Company 2 Trailer

I was going to make this post about Syracuse’s loss of epic proportions last night but I’m good. Instead I’m going to keep it positive and provide some news on a game I’m anticipating.

News about Max Payne 3!!

I had another post saved for today. Long story short it’s still unfinished and I’m in lazy mode. Besides this is actual NEWS, the other post I’m working on is just me complaining about some BS. Now that I think of it I might delete it. Anyway on to what’s important at the moment.

Going home for Spring Break!

…and I’m not using Greyhound!

I don’t know why I’m so excited to go home for break but I am! I can’t stop making sentences with exclamation points! Look!

Anybody like Midnight Club LA?

I know I geeked out on Burnout yesterday. With that said I always wanted to try this game.

Despite The BS, I’m Enjoying Burnout Paradise Way Too Much

Here’s the scenario. I have a term paper due next week, a project due later in March, and another term paper due after that. You’d think I’d buckle down and get that shit dealt with right?

Not with this crack-in-a-disc game called Burnout Paradise.

(Nerd Alert) More Battlefield Bad Company? OH YEAH! (c) Stinkmeaner

Baby lemme get the keys to the Rover truck!! (c) Juvenile

Battlefield Bad Company is one of my favorite shooters right now. It’s a shame it got slept on so hard last year; especially considering that it was one of the best shooters of ‘08. So when I read that DICE is workin’ on a sequel my eyes lit up.

So I Finally Beat GTA 4

I bought it on the first week it came out since I had a gift card. I knew it was a bad idea at the time since I had finals a week later.
