Next-gen Xbox Rumors: Finding Reason in Madness

47d ago ... Well....that just happened. If you've been living under a rock in past few days, let me go ahead and explain the situation that's been spewing out literally everywhere online. In a discussion between two individuals, Microsoft Studio’s Creative Director, Adam Orth, decided to voice his opinion on 'always-on' devices. Without explicitly attaching his claim to an unannounced next-gen Xbox,...

What I'd like to see out of Fallout 4

86d ago ... As most may have already heard, word through the grapevine is that Fallout 4 is likely to be taking place in Boston. Boston MA, home of Fenway Park, JFK library, and Oh yeah... The Commonwealth. Which means only one thing children; tech. We're talking about more robobrains, plasma pistols, and gauss rifles than you can shake a chrome-plated stick at. And let's not forget our loveable cyborg fri...

Developed VS. Published

139d ago ... This is a subject that I want to hopefully clarify, because there seems to be some confusion here. I remember a while back, when Dishonored came out, people were refusing to buy Dishonored because it had Bethesda stamped on it. They, mostly PS3 owners, were angry because of Bethesda's debacle and mishandling of the PS3 version of TESV:Skyrim, resulting in the PS3 version suffering stuttering fr...

Death to Added Gameplay DLCs With A Big, Barb-Wire Covered Billy Club

227d ago ... I've never liked DLCs. Ever. Even more so for the games that have downloadable content on the disc itself with no way to access the content without paying for it. I come from the oldschool way of thinnking: if I pay for it, I own it outright and it had better have everything I need to use it without coming back to the maker. That said, I've only bought one DLC in my life--one for Fallout 3...

Fallout 4, what it should take from Skyrim and NV

273d ago ... Alright, with the recent news of Bethesda doing research in Boston(a.k.a. the Commonwealth) I think you should take a look at what Bethesda should integrate from Skyrim and New Vegas. Now, personally I wasn't a fan of Obsidian's New Vegas, I felt it had a some valid points but fell flat on what caught me on to Fallout 3. I found my self being able to play through Fallout 3 3 and a half times...

Why I'm getting into PC gaming (again)

475d ago ... I'm a long-time PC gamer who hasn't had an up-to-date rig for at least 7 years. Eh, it's probably been nearly 10 years. While console gamers where going ga-ga over Final Fantasy 7, I was playing Interplay's Fallout and Baldur's Gate. When people were playing Windwaker and Soul Calibur II, I was playing Shogun Total War and the very first Call of Duty. I love PC gaming. I have at least a dozen P...

Shelving Skyrim PS3

494d ago ... So, after quite a few hours invested in what is easily one of the best games I have played, I have to shelve Skyrim before I could possibly complete it. Lag isn't the only problem. Yes, I did do everything I could to minimize it, such as turning off the autosave. But lo, I got so immersed in the game I forget to save from time to time and I die. Then I have to replay the quest I was on. Ma...

Game reviewers are doing a disservice to gamers

536d ago ... As I'm sure you've heard by now their has been a massive kerfuffle over the PS3 version of Skyrim. This isn't just some little bug or glitch as you might expect on a game of Skyrim's scope, but is in fact game breaking and renders the game completely unplayable. First let me say that this bug has been a problem with Bethesda from Fallout 3, it does effect other versions of the game but none...

Why Bethesda Will Save Gaming Part 1:

574d ago ... This is actually my first ever blog. I'm more of a reader than a writer so odds are this will be a tedious read but I feel the need to speak up before it's too late or I'll never forgive myself. I admit that I'm a ranter which is why this will be in 2 part's rather than 1 and I apologise to anyone who feels I've wasted their time. Now then. Oblivion. Fallout 3. And now Skyrim. (And I...

Not every video game needs multiplayer

634d ago ... Its a sad fact that so many younger gamers will pass on a great game if it doesnt feature multiplayer. They miss out on many incredible AAA single player games like Dead Space , Bioshock , Oblivion , Deus Ex and many others. Its more a generational thing than anything else. You see us old fart gamers that grew up playing video games in the 80s and 90s were winged on hundreds of excelle...

Fanboy meaning is up for debate.

800d ago ... I am seemingly the the only person that believes fanboy isn't a negative term. I said the media turned the word negative but we fan did as well by making it an insult. I am a proud Playstation fanboy and you might think I hate the 360 but I don't, I have zero problem with X box, PC, Apple, or any other fanboy. I simply don't care for the the other systems, check my comments I hardly go into 360...

Adiction-simplicity ratio.

828d ago ... Remember Pac Man, Tetris, Asteroids, Pong?If your answer is yes, then you are the same as hundreds of thousands of gamers who have a memory relating one or more of those games.But since then,things in the gaming industry have changed,but does that mean that there are no longer programmers as creative as Toru Iwatani or Alexey Pajitnov? I know what you're gonna say,graphics and advanced technol...

PS3 or 360... which is REALLY Better?

847d ago ... With this blog post I'm going to attempt to answer.... SUCKERS!!! Now that I have your attention.... I own a PS3. I like my PS3. I have never played an Xbox 360. So, to be honest, I don't know what I'm missing. Therefore, I'm not missing anything. I'm fine with my PS3. Does that make me a "Fanboy?" I don't think so. From the Urban Dictionary: "An arrogant person who goes into an outburs...

Sequels Slump: What's Wrong with the Industry?

853d ago ... Game sequels have been popping out faster than anyone can play them. It appears that for every original intellectual property we get, there are at least two sequels that we have to suffer through. Just look at games like Fable 3 or Fallout New Vegas. These are games that offer slightly more content with kinda improved graphics for the same game play you already had. Sure there are some new w...

Game of the Year: Mass Effect 2 Runner up: God of War III Studio of the Year: Bioware Runner up: Quantic Dreams Character of the Year: Commander Shepard Runner up: Ezio Xbox360 Game of the Year: Mass Effe...

Game Updates/Patches Need To Be Available On Disks

885d ago ... The latest patch for Fallout NV has hit the Xbox. I'm very happy that I can load my saved games again, and it's really cool that your companion shows up on the map. Almost every game on the PS3 and Xbox 360 will have an update/patch to download at some point. Some of these updates fix MAJOR problems with the game, like the Fallout NV bug mentioned above. But this made me think. What happe...

GOTY Awards

891d ago ... Well I do this every year, because I don't agree with many of the choices the major websites pick, as it seems like they're trying to push certain games over others. So here's my GOTY awards. Best Action-Adventure Winner: God of War 3 Runner Up: Red Dead Redemption Honorable Mentions: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Bayonetta, Darksiders, God of War Ghost of Sparta, Metal Gear Solid...

Top picks for 2011: most anticipated titles?

896d ago ... 2010 was a great year for console gaming. A extremely solid lineup of multi-platform titles was complemented by strong exclusive titles for both PS3 and Xbox marking 2010 as the most solid year for quality titles on record. So as the year winds down, time to look forward to 2011's most anticipated titles, and here's my most wanted list: Rage Post-Apocolyptia from the iD Software- the...

Is New Vegas any good?

928d ago ... New Vegas will be a game you will love ,hate,hate to love or love to hate. I hate the game. I have tried fallout New Vegas twice.I played the game on the ps3 and 360 .I came away from the game with the same feeling; this sucks. If you bought this game and never played prior fallout games I am sure you will hate New Vegas. You will be lost and walk around for 20 reatime hours before the game re...

Fallout: New Vegas (First Impressions)

947d ago ... (Originally posted on www.madoverdose.co.nr) So after trading in a lot of dust covered games and a spare console or two, I picked up the highly anticipated Fallout: New Vegas for the PC. Now let me get this out of the way by saying that I !#@%ing LOVED Fallout 3. Many's the time I can remember sitting in front of my monitor in the early hours of the morning, just exploring the wasteland, about...
