Conan O’Brien Reviews Grand Theft Auto V
I took the day off from work today so I could stay home and play Grand Theft Auto V. The game is awesome so far, and I think Conan O’Brien agrees!
I love Clueless Gamer! These are hilarious. If you’ve got some time to kill and want to laugh, browse through and watch Conan try to play video games.
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Is Still a Thing
Remember that cool, gritty, serious fan-film series about Mortal Kombat? I do, and so do the people who are making it!
That trailer starts out amazing, but goes off the rails a little when the super-powers and costumes come in. Then it gets better again in the end. They’ve definitely got a great look going. I hope they don’t lose themselves too much in the crazy stuff. I’m a big fan of this whole project, and I want to see it be awesome. The new episodes start on Sept. 26.
No word yet on whether or not Smoke is in the show. He’s my favorite kombatant. So I’ve got my fingers crossed!
Yep, Going with Froakie – New Pokemon Starter Evolutions Revealed
I’m sure everyone is very interested in my plans for the upcoming Pokemon X and Y game, specifically who I am going to choose for my starter pokemon. It’s a pretty big deal, dividing pokemon fans into three distinct camps since the start of the franchise. Are you a fire, water or grass starter? I have been a loyal pokemon player since Red/Blue, and don’t plan on breaking my streak of playing when X/Y comes out on Oct. 12. Based on the initial appearance of the starters, I decided to go with Froakie, the water frog. He looks pretty cool.
Froakie, Fennekin and Chespin
Well leaked images of the starters’ middle forms have hit the web, and clearly Froakie is still the favorite. I don’t know what the heck happened to Chespin.
I assume all of that Japanese is laughing at Chespin
Froakie becomes Gekogashira, Chespin becomes Hariboogu, and Fennekin evolves into Teerunaa.
So whereas Froakie evolves into an even more ninja gecko, Chespin evolves into a booger. It’s right there in the name!
The final evolutions have yet to be revealed! So stay tuned to my random pokemon coverage!
Only One Week Until Grand Theft Auto 5!
And the folks at AVByte are celebrating in style!
More people need to write bombastic musical numbers about my favorite video games. I am eagerly anticipating GTA V. I’ve got my new X-Box 360, my big screen monitor, and I even took a day off from work to extend my weekend. Crazy, I know, but if I don’t use my personal days, I lose’em at the end of the year. Name something better to have used it on.
Total War: Rome 2 Review
In every entry into Creative Assembly’s truly epic series, the game thrusts you into command of a historic kingdom, competing for dominance in a legendary time period. Since 2000, Total War has taken players through the Japanese Shogunate wars, the Roman Empire, the Dark Ages, the Colonial period and the Napoleonic wars. Now, the series returns to revisit Rome, from the rise of the Republic to the conquest of the Empire.
It’s no secret that I’m in love with the Total War series. In my mind, 2010’s Shogun 2 and its expansions are among the best, most epic strategy games ever made. With big, epic battles, simplistic gameplay and a plethora of strategic and diplomatic angles to use, you felt like you were in control of your own expanding dynasty. And, of course, its cooperative campaign was amazing.
Now, Creative Assembly is trying to recreate its success with a follow-up to 2004’s Rome: Total War. The campaign, which can be played head-to-head or cooperatively with another player, allows you to play not only as the Roman republic/empire, but any of more than a dozen other countries between 200 BCE until the fall of Rome.
