May 19th, 2009 · 7 Comments

Well, today was the release of the game tie in for the upcoming Christian Bale movie Terminator: Salvation.
So let’s break it down by the numbers:  I’m going to review it like I would if I were doing it on my community podcast, Single Player Campaign.
Follow me after the jump to find out my thoughts of [...]

It’sNotAReview: TrackMania DS

November 19th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I’m utterly lost for words. The DS has a great racing game that isn’t Mario Kart. You might not have heard of it in Console Land, but TrackMania has gone down a storm in times past in PC Land, even going so far as to set a world record. The thing is, transferring a racing [...]

Metacritic FINALLY wises up

November 5th, 2008 · 6 Comments

For way too long, idiots have run amuck on Metacritic, the review score aggregating site.  They’ve been allowed to hold games hostage over stupid issues like a 2-week delay (LBP) and other such nonsense (Gears 2 hasn’t even released yet and it has a 3.5 rating.  P P P PLEASE!).
As if a light bulb finally [...]

ItsNotAReview: Zombie Uprising!

October 22nd, 2008 · 5 Comments

Zombie Uprising may just be the sleeper hit of the year.  It’s got zombies, chainsaws and zombies getting chainsawed.  It rocks. The only problem? You won’t find it on any store shelf. You won’t find it on PSN or Xbox Live. You can’t download it from Steam.
Zombie killin’ goodness, after the jump.
Hail to the king, [...]

ItsNotAReview: Linger In Shadows

October 13th, 2008 · 5 Comments

I’d love to say that this Non-Review is the usual sort of Non-Review where it’s really a nicely-written analysis of a game and I say what I like and don’t like about the game. In the case of Linger In Shadows, the new piece of, uh, software on the PlayStation Store, this really isn’t a [...]

ItsNotAReview- The Witcher: Enchanced Edition

October 9th, 2008 · 2 Comments

When most gamers think of single-player action RPGs, there is a very short list that comes to mind. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is easily at the top of the list, followed by games like Mass Effect and Kingdom Hearts. Well, there may be a new game to put towards the top of that list, [...]

Megaman 9, frustration Nirvana?

October 2nd, 2008 · 3 Comments

There are very few video games that have been around since “the beginning.” Yes, I know that the NES wasn’t technically the beginning, but that line sounded dramatic and I wanted to open with it. Wanna fight about it?
Megaman is one of those franchises that has been around for decades, and even though it has [...]

The Last Guy..and the last review of it, probably

September 2nd, 2008 · 4 Comments

I’m not one for being on time with game reviews. My LEGO Indiana Jones review was about a month late (along with Soulcalibur IV’s) so as you can guess my timing is hardly impeccable. Still, might as well crack on with the newest review and not dilly-dally.
Today’s review is of PSN collect-em-up-with-an-edge The Last Guy. [...]

Rothbart’s Rave: SumoSac Sultan Review

August 28th, 2008 · 7 Comments

You might be tempted to think from the title of this post that you don’t need to read on. I was sent a SumoSac Sultan chair for review and I love it, yadda yadda yadda. If you stop reading now, you’re going to miss some pretty important (and funny) stuff. As you [...]

The Late, Late Review: Soulcalibur IV (PS3)

August 25th, 2008 · 5 Comments

Yes, so it’s a little bit late. SoulCalibur IV has been out for almost a month now and yet here comes silly ole Sarcastic Gamer with a review way too late. Not our fault though. If you have any beef with the timing of this review, please take it up with the United States Postal [...]

Review – Buzz!: Quiz TV

July 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Nintendo, everybody probably thinks, are champions and creators of the casual gaming market. After all, they created the DS and the Wii, currently the most popular games consoles in the world, and these consoles offer up heaps of games for everybody. While I can admit that they have the market cornered, the creation of the [...]
