Is Downloadable Content (DLC) Out of Control?
The Resurgence Pack: BioWare’s way of saying, “Sorry, we screwed you out of your Mass Effect 3 ending and intended to charge you for it via DLC, so here is some free stuff.” Having just a little something more is one thing fans (of anything really) love. Why should video games be any different? Who [...]
Early Swirly – New Releases This Week: 03-19-2012
Yet again, another week of the Early Swirly. I feel like I write that a lot (or something like it). Maybe we need a tag-line to start these things off? I’m thinking yes. Anyway, Video Game Land has a lot in store for you this week. We’ve got children of Greek gods, colossal mechs, hideously [...]
Shank 2 – Review
Genre: Beat ‘Em Up Developer: Klei Entertainment Publisher: Electronic Arts Systems: Playstation 3 (PSN), Xbox 360 (Live Arcade), Microsoft Windows Release Year: 2012 It’s been a year and a half since Klei Entertainment released its 2D Beat ‘Em Up-style platformer, Shank. It impressed with its addictive battle system, its compelling (albeit somewhat out-of-place) visuals and [...]
What’s With Ugly Video Game Characters?
There seems to be a growing trend in video games lately and by lately I mean the last few years. I’m not exactly sure why it started. I’m not exactly sure when it started. Developers the world over suddenly decided video games needed more ugly people. Maybe the cutesy Anime style over saturated the market [...]
Top 5 Video Game Trees
Trees are an indispensible part of real-life and video games. In life they help keep the air’s carbon dioxide levels down, they regulate ground temperature and they offer shelter to many animals. In video games…well, they’re just great-looking background pieces. But every once in a while there comes a tree that goes beyond the role [...]
Early Swirly – New Releases This Week: 01-23-2012
Okay. I won’t say this week is abysmal, because there are just a couple of games that look at least interesting, but there isn’t anything stellar happening this week in video game land. Still, it’s worth taking a brief look at what’s coming out. After all, you may be done with all the greats from [...]
Spawn: The Eternal – Review
Developer: Sony Computer Entertainment Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment, Hudson Soft (Japan) Systems: Playstation Release Year: 1997 I’m not going to beat around the bush this time. I did this all for you, Game-Flush fans. It was back when the PSN was down. I finally played through Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (twice), and there was nothing [...]
The 2011 Flushies Nominees
Yes, it is that time of year again! The 2011 Flushy Awards are here. Link has sharpened his sword. Sackboy has tightened his stitches. Marcus Fenix brought the booze. Sub-Zero did a fantastic job creating ice-sculptures for the after party as well. Without a doubt, 2011 has been a hell of a year for big [...]
Exploiting a Game’s Bugs: The “Cheaters’” Way
It’s one of the age-old debates amongst gamers. Since video games were first created, they’ve had their share of loopholes and bugs. Some people have used these overlooked errors to their advantage, whilst others have stood in strong opposition to the cheaters’ way, preferring to rely on their own skills to see them through. But [...]
Character of the Month – Medusa Heads
With Teach’s recent (second) plea to the powers that be to make video games more difficult (as they used to be), my own article about my issues with Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and the month or more I spent playing the recent PSN release of Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, I felt it was time to [...]
