A couple months ago, there were many news articles about how billionaire Gabe Newell, the boss of gaming company Valve, said his company is more profitable, per employee, than Google. This was a shocker to me, since Google seems like one of those companies that every person on the planet seems to know about. So I just assumed that Google was raking in more money than a "mere" game company, in

Lately I've been wondering: why don't game development companies have the online equivalent of a "tip jar?" Or some way for me to directly give extra money to the people responsible for a game, above the price I might pay for at retail, and in a way that bypasses all the "middle men," too.I've often bought games at low prices, and then enjoyed the heck out of 'em. I once bought the PC game,

I've been mostly a console gamer for the past few years, but have recently thought about getting back into PC gaming. The graphics, frame rates, and online play tend to be considerably better on the PC versions of games than on the console ones. Plus, PC games tend to be cheaper than console games. The recent Transformers: War for Cybertron game, for example, is $20 cheaper on the PC than for the

Just completed Blazing Angels 2 for the 360. It's an arcade flight WW2 game, kinda like Crimson Skies but not quite as polished.Pros:-Large plane selection-Lots of interesting mission objectives (flying through tunnels, blowing up air balloons to clear a path, detonating sea mines in order to damage an underwater submarine...)-Interesting defensive weapons to take out enemies behind you (flash

They should call this game "Crap Alert 3." See what I did there? I replaced "Red" with "Crap." Hahahah.But seriously, what's the deal with these C&C games? Every single one I've played has had the same terrible netcode that results in a very sluggish game. It's as if the same game code has been recycled for 15 years of C&C games.I figured they would've fixed the problem by now, but nope.Sigh..

I just finished trying out the new XBL demos for Star Wars: Republic Heroes and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Star Wars is pretty crappy, unfortunately. I was hoping it'd be a cool co-op online action game, of Ninja Gaiden or God of War quality, but alas, it is a fairly simplistic cash-in aimed towards a very young, LEGO Star Wars-type audience. The demo allows you to play as a

Finally! A multiplayer interactive dialogue system!For a few years now, I've always thought the next logical step in the interactive dialogue system found in many RPG games was the introduction of multiplayer input. After all, singleplayer systems already allow your party companions to interject with whatever they feel like.Throwing in multiplayer just seemed like the "duh" thing to do.I wonder

After getting to the 30 or 40% mark in X-men Origins: Wolverine.... I uninstalled it. Such a repetitive game. I'll let this Gamespot forum poster, purerage34, sum up the game."I just want to warn people before they sink their hard-earned cash into buying this game as the reviews i read tended to be more positive than I think the game warrants.This game is like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance except

I don't know why I keep playing Company of Heroes. I've sunk hundreds of hours into it, and I don't think I even enjoy it that much! When I lose, I feel pretty bummed out. When I win, I feel nothing. Ehhh... not a very good cost-benefit ratio there... especially considering my 2:3 win-loss ratio.Maybe I need to give up on RTS games (at least until Starcraft 2 comes around). Could make me a

I saw Watchmen on opening night. I really liked it, although I feel it works best as a supplement to the graphic novel. The novel is really full of information and back story that all helps the world come alive and make sense. And the reader can take his or her time digesting it all. Talking to people who have never read the novel but saw the movie, most seem to be overwhelmed by everything

Game of the Year 2008On Gamespot, users were allowed to vote for their Game of the Year. A Gamespot blog author asked why people voted for what they did. Was it based on what game was the most fun for them? Or the most "artistic"? Or what?For me, the Game of the Year was Metal Gear Solid 4, even though I'd only give it an 8.5 / 10. It wasn't the perfect 10 Gamespot gave it, but for me it was the

The demo for Lord of the Rings: Conquest came out on the Playstation Network. Here are my impressions that I posted on Gamespot's forums:I'm disappointed but I had quite a bit of fun anyway. The frame rate is too low when playing online, although it strangely improves to very acceptable levels in the Tutorial singleplayer mode, where there is even more action on screen than online.

I hope my low review scores don't come off as being negative for the sake of being negative. To me, a game in the 6.0 area is something I felt I could've skipped. Usually this is for sequels of games that just don't bring much new to the table and are forgettable. A 7.0 game is a good, enjoyable game. An 8.0 score would mean it's something I'm really glad I didn't miss. Anything in the 9.0 area

Warhammer OnlineI was really looking forward to this MMO as the press was describing it as a big change to the MMO formula. Having not enjoyed a single MMO yet, I was excited to see if Warhammer Online would hook me into the genre. But nope.I focused primarily on the PVP combat scenarios and found the game to be both boring and its controls needlessly complicated. The boredom stemmed from the

Suppressive fire in FPS games, or lack thereof.If you've watched many war movies, you've probably heard one of the characters yell out "Lay down suppressive fire!" or "Give me covering fire!" at some point. And with FPS games like Call of Duty and Battlefield trying to emulate these war movies, you'd probably assume that suppressive fire was a battle tactic that would be emulated in some way in

Sign the "Allow Xbox360 to play with keyboard and mouse" petition!Although I've owned the 360 for a while now, and have played and enjoyed many FPS games on it using the gamepad, I still want keyboard and mouse support. FPS games and RTS games would be so much more enjoyable. Plus, MMORPGs like World of Warcraft could come to the 360.

Got Bioshock on launch day, completed it the next day on Medium difficulty. Great game, cool story, great writing, but terrible endings. Amazing graphics, sounds, and atmosphere.It's not really an FPS, but an RPG from a first person perspective. Like RPGs, reflex times and hand-eye coordination isn't really what's important. What's important is that you make the right decisions that will equip

Ymm... I love video games ^_^Finished Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Simply awesome. I feel ashamed that I didn't play Ninja Gaiden to completion until now. Shoulda picked up Ninja Gaiden Black when it came out! I don't know if Heavenly Sword will impress me thanks to Sigma. I tried the Heavenly Sword demo and the character models have that "clay face" look to them, which I dislike. Ninja Gaiden Sigma,

I posted this over at the official Chromehounds forum.--------------------------------------------------I've logged about 85 hours in Chromehounds and enjoy it a lot. But, a lot of the game design choices seem odd to me, and I'm not all that surprised that the game isn't well known or very popular. So here are some of my ideas on what I think would make Chromehounds better. Please post your ideas

Chromehounds. A brilliant, yet retarded, game. I picked it up for about $15 shipped on Ebay.Chromehounds is an Xbox 360 game in which you create sluggish and giant tanks (kinda like Mechwarrior but even slower!), and then take them into online combat against other players. The game has what seems like hundreds of different parts and weapons you can use to create your "Hound" with. And you can

Well, I turned 26 years old on Friday. GOOD LORD, I'm getting OLD! And I don't look my age. For example, I recently won a prize in a school raffle, and one of the items in the prize was a bottle of wine. But my teacher offered an alternate prize because she thought I wasn't of legal drinking age yet! Yeeeesh.Being young looking blows. Obviously I don't want to look like Gandalf the Grey, but it

D'oh! Been two months since I last posted. I haven't been up to much. Mostly been watching lots of old Gundam shows, playing Lost Planet, and Command and Conquer 3. I also got hired by EA again for some more game testing. And of course, been going to school :-)Gundam's an interesting series of shows. It's described by its creators as a humanist show, kinda like how Gene Roddenberry envisioned the

I'm playing Final Fantasy 12 right now. I'm like 32 hours into the game and... I don't like it. Yes, that's right. I'm addicted to a game that I don't even like. Bizarre.It's like a Diablo-syndrome all over again. Did I actually enjoy Diablo? Not really. But I couldn't stop playing. Ugh. I'm starting to think that many RPGs, thanks to their gambling-like mechanics, form the same addictiveness

We need mouse and keyboard support for R6 Vegas! Here's my post on the official Rainbow Six Vegas X360 forums requesting support for mouse and keyboard. I make the argument that the mouse is far more familiar to the mainstream consumer than the gamepad and joystick is, therefore adding mouse support will likely increase sales and profits of FPS console games. I use the examples of the highly

Everytime I hop into the 2142 APC, I hum the Aliens track "Ripley's Rescue", which plays as Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) takes the controls of an APC and runs over a buncha aliens in order to rescue some Marines ;)If you've seen the movie, you'll probably recognize this track:Click here to listen to Ripley's Rescue by James Horner.

NWN2 is now $35 at Amazon.com. I think that's with free shipping, too. I'm really enjoying this game, but it's extremely, extremely easy, to the point that it's not really a game.. but an interactive novel.Then again, if you have no understanding of the D&D rules whatsoever, don't read the manual or anything, then this game might pose some sort of challenge.

Bought an Audigy 4 SE soundcard from Buy.com for $40. I bought this card solely for BF2142, which is kind of embarrasing. But I think it's worth it in the long run. Afterall, I'll be playing 2142 for at least another 300 hours. Heh :-P And shoot, I can always reinstall BF2, too.Being able to enable EAX effects really enhances the game's sound in quality and in placement. When stomping around in a

Most expensive winter ever?I'm thinking about buying an HDTV, Xbox360, PS3, and Wii in the coming months. Yoiks! That's like ... $1800 bucks at least.The Xbox 1 was such a huge let down that I'm kinda wary bout the 360. But Gears of War and GRAW look so cool. I wish I could be excited about Mass Effect, but IMO Bioware makes terrible games. They craft good stories, is all.The PS3 seems to have

I bought, used, and returned a 22" widescreen monitor over the past week. It was great seeing Half-Life 2 and Call of Duty 2 in widescreen format, with the widescreen field of view. It really increased the immersiveness of the game. In real life, when you look at something, you have a lot of peripheral vision going on. But on a standard 4:3 monitor, the game screen only occupies the center of

Been playing BF2142 like mad in the past few days. Great game. The Gamespot review was positive (score of 8.2), but it didn't really mention what's been improved and fine tuned since BF2.2142 comes with tweaks such as:In BF2, dropping anti-vehicle mines on the ground often resulted in Teamkills. This is no longer the case in 2142, as mines have been replaced with EMP and Motion Mines, and both of

Went to the Gamespot After Hours event last night. My first impression of the PS3 was incredible dissapointment. They only had two games on display... a racing combat game and a Gundam game. The racing game was OK, and it definitely felt 'next-gen'. But the Gundam game was terrible. The graphics were poor, the frame rate was abysmal. Ugh. I've got Gundam games for my PS2 far better than that.

If you're on the fence about whether or not you want to buy it next month, this might be useful.I'll be getting 2142, even though right now I prefer BF2/SF/POE2 over what I saw in the 2142 beta. But it's still a fun game. The single map we got in the beta was kinda crummy. But

The point of your existence is to play Point of Existence 2. POE2 is an incredible mod for Battlefield 2 that any fan of BF2 absolutely *must* play.POE2 adds new gameplay modes, sound effects, music, weapons, vehicles, maps, textures, and more. It's practically a whole new game, as the BF2 formula is tweaked in a number of ways that produce a very different, and mostly superior, experience. The

Funny combination of Team America's "Montage" song and some Battlefield 2 gameplay footage. Warning: has some obscene language.I found this video after telling my friend Dogar that his k/d ratio for BF2 sucked (0.5), and that he needed some training from Master (Sergeant) Charlie_Six. All we needed, I told him, was a "training montage" to get him into shape. And so.. I stumbled upon this on

Bought the Armored Fury booster pack for BF2. $10 may seem too steep for a mere 3 maps at first, but the maps are really fun. None of them come close to Karkand/Sharqi quality combat though. Many of the previews for Armored Fury had the designer stating infantry combat was much more well balanced into the pack, but this simply isn't true. Most of the battles are centered around tank combat, and

Finished Genji for the PS2 last night. Great game. Very underrated IMO. Gamespot gave it a 7.0, but the user score is at 8.5. The game isn't very deep, but it's good fun and I think a good match for any casual gamer. Similar to the Onimusha games, you run around chopping up people for combo and critical hits. Unlike Onimusha, Genji actually has a decent inventory system. So you can drink health

Just finished the PS2 game, Ace Combat Zero. Pretty cool, although I think I got less planes to fly than I did in Ace Combat 5. Essentially identical to Ace Combat 5. The game has you playing the role of a silent ace pilot who quickly gains the name "Demon Lord." Here's a trailer for the game.

I need to get some exercise or something, cause I have a feeling I'll need a lot of energy when work at EA starts next month.Anyway, I recently bought Warhammer 40k Dawn of War and its Winter Assault expansion for $15 shipped on Ebay. And I'm really dissapointed. There's only about 100 people playing the game at anytime online, and with

Just got hired by Electronic Arts! Charlie Six is now a EA game tester *and* a video game mercenary for charity! WOOT!I hope I get to test out Battlefield 2142. That'd rock.

E3 has begun, and some pretty amazing stuff has been pouring out of it ever since.Biggest shocker for me, though, was seeing a certain soldier appear at the end of this Smash Brothers Brawl video. :O

My "Battlefield 2 Mercenary for Hire" auction was featured on G4TV a long while ago. But I could never find a clip of the video... until now! So here ya go.

High Score - Jeehun Hwang's Track 16 for Mechwarrior 2.I just loaded up some old action tunes from a CD I had laying around, and found a bunch of cool tracks I'll be presenting here.This is Track 16 from the Mechwarrior 2 soundtrack. Mechwarrior 2 was released in 1995, and was one of the first games to feature 3dfx graphics, which would be one of the biggest leaps into 3d video gaming technology.

Thought this was cool. It's not an official Transformers video, but a fun taste of what's likely to come in the Michael Bay/Steven Spielberg live action Transformers movie coming in 2007.This you may have seen already.. I love Transformin' robots. Sniff.

This is a post of mine from the Game Audio Network Guild's forums..Just thought I'd post it here for any Transformers fans. Transformers was my fav back in the day. I loved the movie. I still think the best voice over work ever can be found in the Transformers movie. The sound effects are really cool, too.For my Audio Production class, I recorded some audio clips from the film.

Corporation for Public Gaming editorialA Corporation for Public Gaming (CPG) could be established that would operate on a model similar to its broadcasting equivalent, providing grants to develop a diversity of games for the public good. Like CPB, the goal of the CPG would be to provide high-quality games, which “inform, enlighten and enrich the public.”I find this idea really interesting. IMO,

Just got back from Video Games Live in San Jose. It was really fun! All the tickets were sold out, so we had a packed house full of pale gamer nerds. I wish they had played more Medal of Honor music though. Ah well.Got to hear Metal Gear music in full glory. They had a guy dressed up as "Random Bad Guy Soldier" walking back and forth across the stage. Once the music really started up, he flicked

Haven't done this in a while...Today's High Score is... Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard's track for Batman Begins: "Molossus". I've recently tried playing this soundtrack while I play Warcraft 3, and it works great. In fact, it's the only game I can think of that the soundtrack works for. The soundtrack has a kind of.. menacing industrial undead sound to it, which fits nicely when playing as

This fan-made lightsaber duel film is pretty cool. It features the music from the film Dark City, which I put up a clip of a while back.

Midterms! ACK!Not much new to report. Still an unemployed mercenary. Guess people just don't need much killin' to be done these days. Shame.This month is full of games... crazy amounts of games. Just got Onimusha 4 for the PS2. The 2 player co-op mode is great fun, though the camera can be troublesome. Metal Gear 3 Subsistence, with online play, comes out this week. IGN gave it a 9.8. Then

OK, guess I'm not going to watch Ultraviolet. It has a 0% rating on Rottentomatoes.com, and it's apparently so bad that RT forum users have felt inclined to take pictures of their feces and post the pics on the forum, in order to compare the movie's quality to a tangible object.Blech.

Some TV reminders:The season finale for Battlestar Galactica airs tomorrow (Friday, March 3rd) on SciFi channel.And there's a 2-hour 24 on FOX on Monday. I think both shows can appeal to a great deal of the video game players out there, so check out these shows if you haven't already.24 recently had a video game come out. Unfortunately, early reviews are saying the game is quite poor. Sucks.In

Ack! Been a while since I've updated this, been busy with school and uhmm.... Warcraft 3. :-PAlso finished Ace Combat 5 on PS2. Really quite a good game, despite the weird "hippie" story and dialogue. You see, the game has a pacifist bent to it, which is very odd considering you're ace pilots flying state-of-the-art war machines, blowing up hundreds of people. Throughout the game, your wingmen

Blast!I got my copy of Battlefront 2 in the mail yesterday, and was quickly let down by the experience. First off, it was a pain in the ass just to run the game in the first place. I had to set the game to a Win2000 compatibility setting just to get it to launch. Apparently I'm not alone in frustrations with this game in regards to bugs... the Lucasarts tech support forums are overflowing with

Made a new gamer friend this week thanks to Neverwinter Nights. Runa's an interesting person. She's got a fun sense of humor and is hard to please when it comes to games. She demands tactical challenge from her games, and like me, is frustrated that NWN's combat is often so uninvolving.To demonstrate her tactical prowess, she crushed me at online chess three times in a row. Ouch! Most interesting

Howdy, folks! School's started up, so I've been using all my free time to play some games. The demo for the RTS Star Wars: Empire at War came out. It's not bad. It's made by some former Command and Conquer people, so if you liked those games you should dig SW: EAW. The space battles are pretty entertaining to play, and it's great hearing the pilot chatter audio. I found the gameplay kinda stale
