How Halo Reach Can Revive The Halo Series

Bungie is once again hard at work on another title which is to be released this fall. The game is Halo Reach, and it's being helmed as the "Titanic of video games." Xbox exec said a few months back, "Halo Reach will be the biggest game of 2010." It's no doubt that Halo Reach will perform some outstanding sales numbers, but as a Halo fan I wonder if...

Carl Daniel vs... HipHopGamer: Desperate Struggle

HipHopGamer isn’t someone who I usually get worked up about. He’s a entertainer who over-hypes games and drops fraudulent titbits of news for a living. Just re-watch a couple of his old shows and you’ll quickly discover that most of the things he touts as “exclusive news” never actually come in to fruition and the games which he claimed w...

Killzone 2 or Modern Warfare 2 - Which Is The Best First Person Shooter Of 2009?

Killzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 are by far the top First Person Shooters (FPS's) of 2009, but which one truly takes the cake? Both games have their pro's and con's, however Modern Warfare 2 is of course the top selling game of the two. This doesn't necessarily mean that it is the better game, but then again that doesn't mean that Killzone 2 is eith...

When Fanboyism Goes Wrong.

Well I am going talk about a word that has been thrown around a lot lately this gaming generation, Fanboy. Now this term refers to an individual who believes, right or wrong, the game company or system is the best ever. Now I know what you are saying, “What the hell does this guy know about being a fanboy?”. Well you are wrong. Even though I do...

Fighter's Fury: Episode #1 LordHollow

As some of you know by now. I love fighting games. 3D, 2D, Capcom, SNK, it doesn't matter. The fighting game genre is one of my favorite genres out of the litter (RPGs is a close second). For a couple of months now, I've been juggling the idea of doing a show, based around the fighting gamers and try to shed some light on this community to those t...

Diary of a MAD Gamer: Enough with the Pre-Order Exclusives!

Enough, enough, enough! I can not take it any more! Can I just have my game please? Better yet can you give me the game with the pre-order exclusives in there already? I truly think Game Stop started this crap and now its filtering to all the other electronic/entertainment media retail stores. When I first saw the pre-order exclusives I though...

Gaming in the Future Part 1: How Far Can We Take It?

Its a New Year. Personally, I do not feel as if New Year's themselves bring about anything, except a repeat of the seasons and a spontaneous desire to create new expectations. People begin creating and expecting new goals, new people, new music, and what is probably most relevant to the point of my discussion, new games or, in this case, new consol...

However this topic is something that I would like to speak on and make everyone else aware of, even if it's just to see some other opinions on the issue.
